"Violence" Wins Over Cronenberg

David Cronenberg, known for his dark and edgy films, has signed to direct "A History of Violence" for New Line Cinema. Adapted by Josh Olson from John Wagner and Vince Locke's graphic novel of the same name, "Violence" tells the story of an ordinary family's life after the father receives unwanted national attention for a seemingly vigilante-style self-defense killing at his diner.
