LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Twentieth Century Fox is in negotiations to pick up "Chronicle," a super-power project from a pair of Hollywood progeny.
Josh Trank, son of Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Richard Trank, is attached to make his feature directing debut from a script by Max Landis, son of director John Landis.
According to the studio, the story focuses on three Portland teens who develop incredible powers after being exposed to a mysterious substance in the woods. They work together to hone their skills for fun, until personal and family problems begin to turn them against one another.
"Chronicle" is being eyed to be told in hand-held, documentary-style that has been gaining popularity with movies such as "Cloverfield" and "Paranormal Activity."
Trank could be well suited for the documentary task. While he directed a web series titled "Killpoint" in 2007 and was the editor on "Big Fan," Robert Siegel's indie starring Patton Oswalt, Trank may have that style of filmmaking in his genes; his father won an Oscar as a producer on the 1997 documentary "The Long Way Home."
