From Variety, Thousand Words has nabbed "Transit," a spec thriller by Michael Gilvary about a family road trip gone horribly awry.Palmer West and Jonah Smith, who last produced the untitled Larry Charles' religion project with Bill Maher, will produce with Alison Rosenzweig.
In "Transit," a family driving through the desert is stalked by criminals who stashed stolen money in the family's car. The script will go out to directors shortly.
Besides the Charles/Maher project, currently in post-production, West and Smith produced Chris Gorak's "Right at Your Door," which Lionsgate is releasing Aug. 24. The duo also produced "A Scanner Darkly" and "Requiem for a Dream."
Gilvary recently did a rewrite of Arthur C. Clarke's "Rendezvous With Rama" for Morgan Freeman's Revelations Entertainment. Whitewater Films will begin shooting his coming-of-ager "Greta" in the fall.
Rosenzweig has several projects in the works, including "Darksiders" at New Line, "Sanctuary" at Sobini/Lionsgate and a remake of "Jacob's Ladder."

A horror movie about crooks hiding stolen money in a car? I saw that same plot device in a Cheech and Chong movie. They must be proud.
Jacob's Ladder hinges on its brilliant directing and editing; I have severe doubts a remake will catch up.
