CHASE THROUGH TIME
Hunter to helm Cohen's `Old' for Blue Tulip

by Charles Lyons

Vid helmet Paul Hunter will make his directorial debut with "Old City," 
a time-travel thriller penned by Jon Cohen that Jan de Bent and Lucas 
Foster's Fox-based Blue Tulip Prods. will produce. 

"This project is something really close to my heart that we have been 
trying to get going at Fox for a long time," de Bent told Daily 
Variety. "Paul Hunter has a great vision for the project. He not only 
has technical skills but also the ability to tell stories. His videos 
are exemplary because there is a story there." 

Senior veep of Twentieth Century Fox Michael Andreen will oversee "Old 
City," while Blue Tulip's head of development and production, Jessika 
Borsiczky, is shepherding the project for the shingle. 

"Old City" centers on a cop who is hunting a serial killer across time 
and space -- in both contemporary times and during the 18th century. 

Hunter, known in the music vid world for vids of Jennifer Lopez, Lenny 
Kravitz, Eminem, Christina Aguilara and many others, worked with de 
Bent on the vid for his megahit, "Twister." Hunter's "American Women" 
vid for Kravitz was nominated for multiple MTV music awards, as was the 
Jennifer Lopez vid. 

De Bent is considering several possibilities for his next project, 
including "The 28th Ammendment" at Warner Bros. The helmers' "The 
Haunting" was released last year. 

Hunter is repped by Vanessa Alexander at Handprint Entertainment and 
the William Morris Agency. 

Cohen, repped by UTA, is working on "Adaptive Ultimate" at TCF and last 
year penned "Wonder Woman" for Joel Silver's company. 

Blue Tulip is repped by The Gersh Agency.
