New Films in Production

[karmajuice]

I was completely unimpressed with Little Children all around, but it's the only film of his I've seen. Can anyone recommend something else of his especially worth seeing? I assume In the Bedroom is worth investigating.

[Barmy]

He'd be perfect for Crash 2.

[flyonthewall2983]

I liked In The Bedroom. It's a very internal thriller, meaning that the suspense is delivered in a way that's silent but effective. No Country For Old Men is similar to it in that way as well, so I think Todd might be the perfect director for this.

We'll keep the Blood Meridian talk over here for now, as it's still just talk for the time being.

[Highway 61]

He'd be perfect for Crash 2.

Thank you.

David Cronenberg is in talks to direct an adaptation of Robert Ludlum's The Matarese Circle.

Apparently, someone thinks its a great idea to make a Footloose remake.

[flyonthewall2983]

Let's hope this one can have a cozy spot in Development Hell.

[Grand Illusion]

I saw "Crash 2" and "Cronenberg" mentioned in back-to-back posts, and a synapse fired in the wrong direction.

Varietyis reporting that FOX has green-lighted a sequel for Wall Street with the working title of Money Never Sleeps. Oh, Hollywood! You and your lack of creativity!

Because what viewers want to see right now are the problems of rich people

Steven Soderbergh casts porn star Sasha Grey for his next film, The Girlfriend Experience.

[pianocrash]

Having read too many interviews on/with Ms. Grey, I can wholeheartedly vouch for her empty-headed notion of film culture vis a vis Soderbergh's own perpetuated mythos of filmmaking/whatever. And thank you, antoine, for not linking to any adult industry site, all of whom are tizzying out over this news as if the film's going to be released on December 21, 2012 (technically a Wednesday, but that's Soderbergh for ya!).

[domino harvey]

Is this one of his HDNet movies?

[Antoine Doinel]

Yeah, I think it is.

Has there been any articles about the upcoming (according to IMDB, anyway) remake of The Star Chamber?

Not to my knowledge, but Peter Hyams, director of the original Star Chamber, is directing another film noir remake. A remake of a Fritz Langs Beyond a Reasonable Doubt. Starring Michael Douglas, this film is already in post-production. Anyone here familiar with Lang´s original? Or Peter Hyams last noir remake, Narrow Margin? I have no idea what to expect from this.

[flyonthewall2983]

I haven't seen Narrow Margin, but I'm familiar with some of his other stuff namely 2010. He uses natural light pretty much all the time which gives his stuff a pretty unique look, compared to other genre directors. That style certainly fit the original Star Chamber. I watched the original a few days ago and though I liked it, I can see how a remake could probably outmatch the original in terms of expanding the story a bit.

[Fletch F. Fletch]

Peter Weir's got a new film in the works!

[dx23]

Paul Worthless Shit Anderson penning the remake of The Long Good Friday, with Miami as backdrop. I'm betting it has zombies and his wife blowing stuff with a huge machine gun.

[Cinetwist]

God, I thought you meant Paul Thomas Anderson for a second there! Phew!!! I originally processed it as The Long Goodbye, and thought it might not be so crazy, with him being a big Altman fan (although I suppose that'd make it more crazy in some ways).

But then I came to the sad realisation that there exist a Paul Anderson that comes from my neck of the woods and who corresponds to your apt title.

[Grand Wazoo]

13 Tzameti remake starring Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, and 50 Cent.

And thank god, really.

You lost me at 50 Cent.

David Gordon Green to direct an adaption of Freaks Of The Heartland.

David Gordon Green to direct an adaption of Freaks Of The Heartland.

Sounds cool but I thought the horror film he was referring to was his Suspiria remake. If you check out IMDbPro, he's got a bunch of projects lined up. It remains to be seen which one he'll actually do next. But good for him. If not for Pineapple Express, which was not only hugely more successful than Snow Angels but a much better film, his career might have been in serious trouble.
