Jen and Sylvia Soska, known as the “Twisted Twins” are getting ready to direct their latest project ‘Plastic’. ‘Plastic’ follows the story of a renowned Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, who risks everything to find the truth behind the grotesque disfigurement of an international pop star.

The directing duo have titles such as ‘American Mary’, ‘See No Evil 2’ and their latest film, ‘Vendetta’ starring Dean Cain, under their fashionable belts.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt gave an update on the ‘Sandman’ movie, which he will be producing, directing and starring in, at Spike’s Guy Choice Awards this weekend. “Big spectacular action movies are generally about crime fighters fighting crime and blowing shit up. This has nothing to do with that,” He continues “And it was actually one of the things that Neil Gaiman said to me, he said “Don’t have any punching.” Because he never does. If you read the comics, Morpheus doesn’t punch anybody. That’s not what he does. It’s going to be like a grand spectacular action film, but that relies on none of those same old ordinary cliches. So, that’s why it’s taking a lot of time to write, but it’s going to be really good.” Levitt, Gaiman and David S. Goyer, along with Jack Thorne, who will be serving as screenwriter for ‘Sandman’, are working hard to create a movie that will honor Neil Gaiman’s original vision for the
