In a recent interview with Out Magazine, the 53-year-old revealed that his upcoming project will be the first-ever gay action hero flick. He described it as “a gay Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but with the two good-looking guys as the action heroes.”
The openly-gay director said actor Alex Pettyfer will star in the “interracial love affair action movie.”
“He’s so hot, isn’t he? So hot. And so aware of his hotness in a way that’s so…I love him to death,” he said.
And as far as the not-so-surprise ending, Daniels told the magazine: “We don’t find out they’re gay until the end of the movie.”
Thanks to the success of The Butler, he added that big box office bucks are no longer a concern for him.
“I don’t think I’m going to have a problem now. I made $100 million for The Butler,” he said. “I’m in a rare group. So this is something I feel good about.”
