Fitzgerald re-teams with Dukakis for Cloudburst

Not sure if Sidney Kimmel Ent. is tapping into a new market demo. While they're setting up Jon Amiel’s distinctly golden aged Old Timers, the prod co. are boarding a road trip film with vet actresses Olympia Dukakis and Brenda Fricker. Reteaming with Dukakis with whom he worked with on his last picture 3 Needles, Thom Fitzgerald shoots Cloudburst this month and in his own backyard again - if there is a film industry in the miniscule Canadian province of Nova Scotia it might be because of this filmmaker.

Based on Fitzgerald's screenplay, this story tackles both ageism and same sex marriage. It follows two women who have been lovers for 30 years but have to escape a nursing facility to get married in Canada. They pick up a young male hitchhiker who sidetracks them. For those who have forgotten about Dukakis - she most recently played a strong supporting role in Sarah Polley's debut film Away From Her. Doug Pettigrew (who produced Fitzgerald's Television project The Gospel According to the Blues) produces and William Jarblum is the executive producer.

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: Actress Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo)

I wanted to change my body. I wanted to be a little bit more masculine and get rid of my female body. I wanted to be more like a boy. I wanted to be able to do all the fighting scenes, so I wanted to go into martial arts training. I trained a lot in Thai boxing and kickboxing with this crazy Serbian guy five days a week. I did a lot of preparation, and I also took motorcycle driving lessons, and I cut my hair and pierced myself.
