Director and producer Bryan Singer, of “X-Men” fame, is working on a documentary exploring the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Variety reported over the weekend.
Singer is collaborating with Guy Shalem, an Israeli writer, director and producer working mostly in television. He created the TV show “Lovespring International” and worked as a director and writer on several other shows.
According to the report, the documentary, with the working title “In the Middle of the Middle East,” will be told from the vantage point of an Arab-Israeli activist.
It will follow the man as he looks for peace in the Middle East as well as inner peace, combining his political agenda with his personal struggles.
Variety reported that another co-producer of the project is Yariv Horowitz, who wrote and directed the successful Israeli feature film “Rock the Casbah” in 2012.
Singer, an adopted son, was raised in a Jewish family. Among his successes as a moviemaker apart from the X-Men franchise, he also directed the thriller “The Usual Suspects” starring Kevin Spacey and was one of the directors of TV show “House” starring Hugh Laurie.
He is likely to direct the new documentary, marking his debut as director in this genre.
