We’ve heard about the movie “Solar Drive” a few years ago, but it seems that the project will be developed the next year!

Here the answear of Julian West, a commercial director and independent filmmaker.

Q I understand you are currently developing a new indie feature project with Michael Weatherly from the CBS TV show “N.C.I.S.,” which is set for 2010. Can you share a few details?
A It’s called “Solar Drive” and Michael plays a private detective searching for a missing movie star. Like all good detective stories, it’s a quest, a kind of “Alice Through The Looking Glass” journey through the strange, hidden world of behind-the-scenes Los Angeles.

I love L.A. To me it has a kind of duality: there is a real city – Los Angeles – which is interwoven and sometimes indistinguishable from a kind of dream version of itself, which is “Hollywood” – not merely the zip code, but the state of mind. I find the contrast and combination of the two very intriguing. L.A. is full of wonderful, crazy carny folk, but it’s also full of real, hardworking people just like any other major city, and in our story Michael plays a character that straddles those two worlds, and is comfortable in both.

It’s a drama, but as anyone who watches “N.C.I.S.” already knows, Michael brings a lot of humor and warmth to his characters, so expect some mischief!
