Daniel Calparsoro Joins the Circus

For a while it looked like director Paco Plaza would be doing double-duty for Filmax, shooting both Rec 2 and the upcoming Circus. With today's news, however, it seems Plaza is off Circus and a different director has already joined up.

Aullidos got word that Daniel Calparsoro (Salto al Vacío) will be directing the horror flick, which is about an average family forced to go up against a group of psychotic circus folk in the desolation of the Nevada desert.

Sounds a lot like The Hills Have Eyes, but I'm a sucker for these "desperate battle for survival" flicks and this one has already got me plenty curious - considering its pedigree. It's been floating around in development for a while now, so let's hope Filmax gets around to rolling on this sucker sooner rather than later.
