Karyn Kusama is looking to follow up Jennifer's Body, which she directed from Diablo Cody's script, with The Rut, a film about a father and daughter who have a relationship based around hunting and survival. To make things more interesting, Chloe Moretz is in talks to star as the daughter. The La Times says The Rut "concerns a father-daughter relationship and centers particularly on hunting, as a daughter must learn [sic; I expect that should be 'use'] the tricks of hunting and archery taught to her by her father after said father goes missing." From that explanation, especially thinking of Moretz in the role, I get the sense of Kick-Ass mixed with Joe Wright's forthcoming Hanna. I want to know more about this one -- what's the intended tone, for example? All the Lat offers is that the film would take Kusama in a different direction from her previous movies.
