The Mentalist: Simon Baker All Set To Direct, Visits Cannes With His Directorial Pitch, And More

By tying all the loose the showrunners did a great job in helping keep up the fan following of the popular show intact.

With The Mentalist over, Simon Baker looks to have a lot of time in hand and has decided to pitch in at Cannes for his directorial debut. Baker has wholly been a part of this upcoming film that he plans to direct. He has been a co-writer of the script and is also producing the film. The theme looks to be set somewhere through the coasts of Western Australia. It will be set in a small town back in 1970s.

He will not just be behind the camera, but also be acting in this film of his. Baker will be seen playing a lone surfer who will be challenging two teenagers to push themselves to new levels of recklessness.

With The Mentalist over fans are going to be missing their daily dose of Detective Jane, but they can make up by watching the previous episodes of The Mentalist until Baker is out with his upcoming movie. It will be quite exciting to see how well his directorial debut goes.
