Baker and West among those making house calls at 'The Lodger'

In a recent interview with The Lodger's writer/director David Ondaatje, IONCINEMA.com learned that actors Shane West and Simon Baker are among those who have joined the production currently filming in Los Angeles. Split between two narratives, the two actors are taking on important supporting roles.

West (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) will be featured in the storyline involving a detective named Chandler Manning who is engaged in a complex cat-and-mouse game with a maniacal killer who begins emulating the 100-year old murders of Jack The Ripper along Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood. Alfred Molina plays Manning and West is playing the role of Manning's rookie partner, Street Wilkenson.

Baker (The Devil Wears Prada) will be joining the storyline that features Hope Davis. She plays Ellen Bunting and a handsome stranger, Malcolm Sleight (Baker), who appears one day and rents her guesthouse in West Hollywood.

Also coming on board is Paul Thomas Anderson-regular Philip Baker Hall (who plays Captain Smith), David Mamet-alumni Rebecca Pidgeon (she plays Dr. Jessica Westmin), indie actress Rachael Leigh Cook and television's Mel Harris.

Michael Mailer is producing and Sony's Stage 6 Films distributes.

My casting director suggested her and I went to Paris to meet her. She loved the script and she's an amazing actress so of course I wanted to work with her. Playing an artist is very hard as it can come of as super fake, but Elodie is an artist in real life and that translated. Who doesn't like Dream Life of Angels?!

Reviews

Review: Police, Adjective

Patterned with minimalist surroundings, low-key performances and long takes that are filmed in real time, the almost mute Police, Adjective cleverly details how Romanian society has not entirely deposed of, or moved away from its past with this anti-thesis of a Michael Mann film.

Interviews

Interview: Michael Hoffman (The Last Station)

I never wanted to make a biopic about Tolstoy. The film I saw was about the tragic comedy about marriage, about the difficulty living with love and impossibility of living without love.

2010 Berlin Int. Film Festival (60th)

Up to 400 films are shown every year as part of the Berlinale's public programme, the vast majority of which are world or European premieres. Films of every genre, length and format can be submitted for consideration. The Berlinale is divided into different sections, each with its own unique profile: big international movies in the Competition, independent and art-house productions in Panorama, movies specially for a young audience in the Generation section, the most exciting German cinema productions in Perspektive Deutsches Kino, an in-depth look at films from “distant” countries and experimental forms in the Forum, as well as an investigation of diverse cinematic possibilities in the Berlinale Shorts. The programme is rounded off by a thematic Retrospective and a Homage, which focuses on the lifework of a great cinema personality. Both of these sections, which are curated by the Berlin Film Museum, aim to place contemporary cinema within a historical context.
