Just 10 years ago Gerard Butler was playing a random Seaman in a James Bond movie and now he’s going to be calling the shots at his own production company. Butler and his manager, Alan Siegel, have formed Evil Twins with the intention of developing movies for Butler and others. Variety notes that the first project is a thriller called Law Abiding Citizen.
The Thomas Crown Affair and The Recruit writer, Kurt Wimmer, wrote the screenplay for Law Abiding Citizen. Butler will play an assistant District Attorney who is involved in a vigilante plot created by someone screwed over by the legal system. Other Evil Twins movies in development are Teacher Man, based on the book by Frank McCourt, and Hanging Tale, written by Groundhog Day co-writer Danny Rubin.
Siegel realizes why this production company is being brought into existence. “We're thrilled at the opportunity that Gerry's career has given us to make our own films,” he noted. It’s possible that Butler will develop many wonderful films that will entertain audiences for years on end. Hey, we can hope.
