Lance Mazmanian spills details of next Before the Door feature.

Lance Mazmanian posted news on his official website today which gave more information on his upcoming feature film project with Before the Door.

"I'm collaborating with the gents on a very unique feature film that has the potential to seriously shake things up around the world, in a good way.

Indeed, with the manner in which the story is built, there is literally something for everyone. And, it contains a central emotional/narrative element that has never been seen on film, that I know of.

Zachary Quinto, the potential lead, will be in every shot (minus 'establishing' stuff)"

He goes on to say that the film script won't even have its final draft until after Margin Call has wrapped.
