Bond star Daniel Craig has signed up for a new psychological thriller called Dream House.

The movie will start shooting on January 25 and is to be directed by Jim Sheridan.

Craig, who has played 007 in the last two Bond flicks, will star as an advertising executive who relocates his family to a small town in New England, only to find out their new house has been the scene of a vicious murder.

The film will be Morgan Creek’s first movie since Rick Nicita took the reign and it will be the first production start in three years.

Nicita became the co-chairman a year ago and shares the title with James G Robinson.

Craig will soon start in Broadway play A Steady Rain, which also stars Hugh Jackman.
