Great 'Vengeance' and not so Furious Anger for Thurman

Posted by Eric Lavallee on Jun 25, 2009
Source: Production Weekly

Uma Thurman is replacing Maria Bello and is thus set to star along her Pulp Fiction/Kill Bill co-star Samuel L. Jackson in a role that will call on the actress to play beaten and bruised, which we at IONCINEMA.com prefer over her gigs in comedies - especially the rom com kind.

In Vengeance: A Love Story, which unfortunately no longer goes by the thought provoking Joyce Carol Oates novella's title Rape: A Love Story, we are witness to an act of unbelievable brutality that twists the lives of three generations of women and sets a man of the law on his own course of justice. On the Fourth of July, Niagara Falls Police Officer John Dromoor (Jackson) is flagged down by 12-year-old Bethie Maguire (Abigail Breslin). Her mother, Teena Maguire (Thurman), has been brutally raped and left for dead. Moving at a relentless, compelling pace, the story of Teena and Bethie unfolds in this powerful and thrilling drama.

Scripted by John Mankiewicz, this will be Harold Becker's first film since Domestic Disturbance (2001). Production begins next month in Michigan.

    I thought Uma was starting work on Eloise in Paris. What happened to that?

    It's funny how this storyline takes place in Niagara Falls but yet is shooting in Michigan. When are film-makers actually going to realize that film-goers aren't stupid?
    Probably shooting there because they can save a few bucks on incentives... but the truth is that NOBODY is gonna guy that the Michigan landscape looks anything like Niagara.
    Sounds like this thing is going to be slapped together.

Review: I Am Not a Hipster

Review: I Am Not a Hipster

"The title I Am Not A Hipster suggests a focus on image and perception, which in fleeting instances come to fruition, but the film is really a heartfelt meditation on loneliness, and art's ability to both help process the past or provide phlegmatic entertainment."

Interview: Daniel Mulloy (Baby)

Brit Daniel Mulloy is an award-winning short filmmaker (over 80 fest awards folks) who belongs to both the extended Sundance filmmaking family and a celluloid loving family of his own -- we've featured his sister Lucy and her debut film, Una Noche which is headed off to Berlin next month. We've been keeping tabs on the helmer since 2006's "Antonio’s Breakfast," and it was last year where I got to speak to Mulloy about what should be the last of a string of shorts, before he embarks on the feature filmmaking portion of his career.
