MACY POWERHOUSE

When comingsoon.net sat down with William H. Macy to talk about his role in the upcoming Mamet film, Edmond, the Academy Award nominated actor announced his next big step – directing his first feature. Set to shoot this winter, the film titled Keep Coming Back, stars Salma Hayek and a few other names still in the works. Reflecting on his directorial experience Macy says, “I directed a little film for HBO about 100 years ago, but that was shorter with about a million-dollar budget. This is a real movie, it’s an indie.” As if his plate wasn’t full enough Macy is also taking a stab at producing (The Deal, a romantic comedy he co-wrote with Steven Schachter) and plans to do a Broadway show with wife Felicity Huffman.
