Derick Martini's Lymelife garnered some real attention at this year's Sundance Film Festival, where our Kelly West celebrated the film's "timeless quality." Even though it didn't make much of a splash upon its release, as can be the case with so many Sundance hits, it was enough to get Martini the attention needed to make a second feature.
According to Variety, Paramount has picked up Martini to write and direct his next film, I Am My Family's Secret, a comedy that, like Lymelife, revolves around a pair of brothers and secrets kept by their parents. In his first film Martini had real-life brothers Kieran and Rory Culkin playing the lead characters, and it's hard to imagine casting more serendipitous than that. Maybe if they throw in Macaulay for good measure?
