Zwigoff to re-team with Dan Clowes

Fri, Sep 14, 2007

According to the The Hollywood Reporter director Terry Zwigoff, who directed several comics-related flicks including the biopic Crumb, Ghost World and Art School Confidential, will be re-teaming with cartoonist Daniel Clowes once more for a new film venture, “The $40, 000 Man” for New Line Cinema. The film, based on an original script by Johnathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, follows the story of an astronaut maimed horribly in a crash and rebuilt bionically but on a rather more paltry budget than Steve Austin enjoyed.
