actor, who w stars in whodunnit mystery "Knives Out", said he was dying to direct a film, he doesn't have a story.

"I'm dying to direct, but I don't have cour or focus to write, and hardest thing is finding material. good material isn't just sitting re untouched. When I directed, one of trickiest things was I found some little broken-bird script and thought, Oh, I can nurse this thing back to health'. In retrospect, I do think even best version of movie I directed, re may still have been a ceiling based on material," he said.

He me his directorial debut in 2014 with "Before We Go", in which he also featured with Alice Eve. When Johansson asked what kind of stories he wanted to make, Evans expressed his interest in Buddhist philosophy.

"Those are stories that I think can touch people. I think we're all looking to find out, from an egoic standpoint, what our relevance is, who we're supposed to be, what definition of joy and love and purpose is. Loose concepts of Buddhism dress a lot of that. I certainly don't have skillset to write it, so I'm just on hunt."
