Mortensen also revealed in the GQ interview that he’s cooking up a reunion project with David Cronenberg, with whom he made films such as “Eastern Promises,” ” A History of Violence,” and “A Dangerous Method.” The first title earned Mortensen an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. “Yes, we do have something in mind. It’s something he wrote a long time ago, and he never got it made,” Mortensen said of his next Cronenberg project. “Now he’s refined it, and he wants to shoot it. Hopefully, it’ll be this summer we’ll be filming. I would say, without giving the story away, he’s going maybe a little bit back to his origins.” GQ asked if “back to his origins” meant Cronenberg was returning to body horror, to which Mortensen replied, “Yeah, it’s very interesting. It’s almost like a strange film noir story. It’s disturbing and it’s good, I think. But since his origins, he’s obviously developed in terms of technique and self-assurance as a director.” Mortensen is currently making the press rounds in support of his feature directorial debut “Falling,” which opens February 5.
