Paul Verhoeven is planning to shoot his first Dutch movie since1984's The Fourth Man.

The filmmaker, who has lived for nearly 20 years in Los Angeles, has expressed interest in a biopic on the Dutch artist Jan Montyn.

The movie will be based on the novel Montyn, written in 1982 by Dutch writer Dirk Ayelt Kooiman that was published in England and the US as A Lamb To The Slaughter.

Verhoeven has already spoken to Montyn about the upcoming biopic. The screenplay will be written by Edwin de Vries (Left Luggage, The Discovery Of Heaven). The film will be produced by Volkert Struycken and Errol Nayci's Get Reel Productions, which co-produced the Belgian Oscar-contender Everybody Famous! by Dominique Deruddere.
