After helming ultra-sleek clips for a who's-who of Top 10 names including Eminem, Christina Aguilera, Dr. Dre, Jennifer Lopez, Lenny Kravitz, and Puff Daddy, video director Paul Hunter is heading to the big screen.
Hunter, who has also lensed clips for Mariah Carey, Busta Rhymes, D'Angelo, TLC, Will Smith, Marilyn Manson, Janet Jackson, and a host of others, has reportedly inked a deal to direct his first feature film. Entertainment trade publication "Variety" reports that Hunter has signed on to direct "Old City," a thriller centered on a cop who tracks a serial killer through time. The film will reportedly be produced by "Speed" director Jan De Bont and his Blue Tulip Productions.
Hunter's work can currently be seen on heavy rotation on MTV thanks to his clips for Eminem's "The Way I Am" and Christina Aguilera's "Come On Over." Hunter has also captured some more memorable video images in recent years, including Mariah Carey's super-spy on the go in "Honey," Lenny Kravitz's neon U.S. flag in "American Woman," Jennifer Lopez's online dance routine in "If You Had My Love," and D'Angelo's glistening torso in "Untitled (How Does It Feel)," which Hunter co-directed with Dominique Trenier.
