Eva Mendes’ Curve Gets Picked Up

The last time we heard about “Curve”, it was the middle of 2007, when it was announced Eva Mendes had signed up to star as the film’s damsel-in-distress. The latest new is that Scatter Light Productions will produce the movie from a script by Kimberly Lofstrom Johnson. The THR article doesn’t mention Mendes, but we assume she’s still slotted to star.

The story centers on a woman who offers a ride to a good Samaritan after he helps her fix her car. When the man tries to attack her, she attempts an emergency maneuver that lands her trapped in her car in a ravine, with the man waiting for her to weaken.

If this thing ends up getting made, it’ll have a budget of around $5 million-$10 million, making it a “low-budget indie” film in the eyes of Hollywood.
