The GREAT PAUL VERHOEVEN is setting up his next flick right now; a rape/revenge opus called ELLE (based on famous French novelist Philippe Dijan's 2012 novel "OH") and the lad just cast his lead.

Respected French actress ISABELLE HUPPERT (see pic below) will playing the gal with a grudge to bare. ELLE was adapted by screenwriter David Birke (13 Sins) and will start shooting come January 2015. Here's its one-line:

"A psychological game of cat-and-mouse between a businesswoman and a stalker who raped her, a crime for which she is seeking revenge."

Personally, I love Paul Verhoeven and will watch anything he does. So count me in on this one!
