Take a look at director Scott Coopers previous and upcoming work

Crazy Heart is an American drama film from 2009, again a book to movie adaptation brought to life by director Scott Cooper. The film focuses on a "down and out" country singer who attempts to turn his life around. This film featured some big Hollywood names such as Collin Farrell (Minority Report, Phone Booth) and Robert Duvall (The Godfather, The Road). 
 Scott has also recently wrapped another upcoming movie, Out of the Furnace which is due to be released in Fall 2013. This is an American thriller which tells the story of two brothers living in the economically depressed rust belt. The elder brother lands in prison whilst the younger brother becomes involved with a North Eastern crime syndicate. This film also features some big Hollywood names such as Christian Bale (Batman Begins, Dark Knight, Dark Knight Rises) and Willem Dafoe (Spiderman, John Carter).
With all these big names working with Scott, I'm sure we can expect great things to come for Lie Down in Darkness.
