Joel Edgerton – Great Actor, Now Screenwriter

Who knew?

That's what makes people like Joel Edgerton great. They can pull a rabbit out of their hat when you had no idea they were a magician to begin with. We knew the guy could act his way out of a paper bag (See: Animal Kingdom and Warrior). Just had no inkling he could write his way out too and the guy remains so low-profile in the public eye that this doesn't feel like a case of a production company just buying a spec from the sheer "hotness" of an actor's career.

THR says the Aussie thesp sold his spec script One Night Stand to New Regency closing the deal at the tail end of last year. The trades describe it as "an honest look at a man and a woman in the aftermath of a one-night stand."

Hence the title, I guess.
