The 'Lord of The Rings' star plays a disturbed serial killer in Khalfoun's new slasher film and the director thinks he could follow in the footsteps of Ben Affleck, reported Contactmusic.
"He brought tons of ideas to the set, he's a total filmmaker. I'll be really surprised if we don't see him directing very soon. Funnily enough, he understood immediately that he had to be there every day. Even though we don't see him throughout the entire movie, he realised it was important that he be there to deliver lines and to really influence the other actors.
'Maniac' is released on March 15.
