Tim Robbins is ready to direct movies again
After a decade-plus break from filmmaking, Tim Robbins is returning to the director’s chair: According to The Hollywood Reporter, Robbins will helm an adaptation of Arthur Phillips’ short story Wenceslas Square. A spy romance set in Czechoslovakia near the end of the Cold War, Wenceslas Square was recently featured on This American Life, once more suggesting that—after the recent teaming of Paul Rudd, Errol Morris, and Ira Glass on a "You're As Cold As Ice" adaptation—This American Life is a fertile ground for potential movie ideas. Robbins' film version will be titled City Of Lies, as this is considerably easier to pronounce than “Wenceslas.”
