Actor-producer Michael Emanuel is in preproduction on the thriller Maneater, says The Hollywood Reporter. Emanuel, a film and TV actor who has appeared on "ER" and "The Nine," co-wrote the script with John K. Anderson and will make the film his directorial debut. Eric Lewald (Trollz) is executive producing. It begins shooting July 30 around Los Angeles, though the producers are still casting the leads.
Plot Concept: "Maneater" tells the story of an FBI profiler-turned-small-town sheriff who begins investigating a series of mysterious murders only to discover that the monster he's profiling might be himself.
"It's a story that was told to me by an old Native American back in the late '70s," Emanuel said. "It's based on the Western Ojibwa (Chippewa) legend of the Windigo."
