Maneater Heads Into Preproduction
Sunday, August 15th, 2010THR reports actor-producer Michael Emanuel is in preproduction on the thriller “Maneater.” Emanuel, a film and TV actor who has appeared on “ER” and “The Nine,” co-wrote the script with John K. Anderson and will make the film his directorial debut. Eric Lewald (“Trollz”) is executive producing.
“Maneater” tells the story of an FBI profiler-turned-small-town sheriff who begins investigating a series of mysterious murders only to discover that the monster he’s profiling might be himself.
“It’s a story that was told to me by an old Native American back in the late ’70s,” Emanuel said. “It’s based on the Western Ojibwa (Chippewa) legend of the Windigo.”
