F. Gary Gray takes the hair of the dog

F. Gary Gray is one of Hollywood's solid journeymen directors, his films rarely rise above the ordinary but rarely sink to the terrible.

I didn't see his last effort "Law Abiding Citizen" but I thought he did a decent job with the "Italian Job" remake and I liked "The Negotiator."

Word from the trades today is that his next will be titled "Hair of the Dog" for Gold Circle, it's a thriller about a successful executive that becomes the victim of a viscous blackmail plot that is larger in scope than he realizes.

Gray always seems to get decent casts so look for this to be a late fall release some time next year.
