Now comes word that Boys Don't Cry director Kimberly Peirce is within talks to accept helm.Peirce's presence would likely give credence to the concept that this can be a more realistic, book-centric version eschewing a few of the more OTT aspects of John P Palma's 1976 film (which, of course, continues to be an excellent slice of pulpy horror movie making).Peirce (who also made the small-seen Iraq war drama Stop-Loss) includes a handle on troubled figures, therefore the tale of the mercilessly cajolled high schooler who exacts some fiery revenge on taunting class mates and her psychotically religious mother ought to be well in her own wheelhouse. Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who's credited using the re-creates presently helping stage musical Spider-Guy: Switch Off The Dark switch from laughing stock to nice little earner, is behind the script.If Peirce signs, her greatest challenge is going to be finding a partner who are able to tackle charge using the sensitivity of Sissy Spacek, who grew to become a symbol within the bloodstream-splattered role.
