Despite how good the British mini-series, which inspired director Kevin Macdonald’s last film State of Play , may actually be (I haven’t seen it), I still enjoyed the film version quite a bit. Though not as powerful, it plays like a contemporary All the President’s Men and I had no qualms other than Ben Affleck’s mediocre performance. So I’m pleased to now hear that Macdonald will be bringing his talents to a somewhat generic project as Variety reports he will direct Murder Mystery , the story an American couple honeymooning in Europe who are implicated when they witness a murder and wind up embroiled in international intrigue.
