Oscar-winner Anjelica Huston has been enjoying plenty big screen success in recent years with movies such "The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou" and "The Royal Tenebaums". But now she's to step back behind the camera to direct "Give Us a Kiss", a new comic-drama based on the novel by Daniel Woodrell.

Woodrell's book follows crime novelist Doyle Redmond as he leaves trendy California for the Ozarks mountain range in Missouri. There he reconnects with his gun-crazy grandpa and his underachieving brother and gets caught up in a 50-year-old blood feud. Angus MacLachlan (Junebug) is to adapt Woodrell's book.
