Albert Finney may take the lead role in the bizarrely titled indie feature, Dinner Music For A Pack Of Hungry Cannibals.
Writer/director Willard Carroll's project would star Finney as a newspaper columnist who gets involved in a murder case. The big twist is that it seems that none of the suspects wanted the victim dead.
Carroll told Variety that Finney liked the script because it "has a lot of humour to undercut its noir aspects".
Finney, a five-time Oscar nominee, is currently on a roll. His portrayal of Winston Churchill on the eve of the second world war in the acclaimed miniseries The Gathering Storm won him an Emmy this year, while his scene-stealing turn as attorney Ed Masry in Erin Brockovich garnered a best supporting actor Oscar nomination last year.
