MUMBAI: Finally after piecing his life back together in the wake of his cheating scandal with Kristen Stewart, the 41-year-old director Rupert Sanders has landed his first project.
He has been tapped to direct Sony Pictures and New Regency‘s The Juliet, a futuristic romance based on a story by sci-fi novelist Alfred Bester. The story is being billed as Bonnie and Clyde in space, according to sources.
Despite the scandal, Sanders had been in high demand in Hollywood with Universal reportedly circling him for the Snow White and the Huntsman sequel.
Things have been less rosy on the home front. His model wife Liberty Ross has remained separated since news of Sanders‘ infidelities broke, and was spotted out in London with her ex boyfriend, art gallery director Chris Taylor.
The film is expected to start shooting early next year.
