Might be the version that doesn't sit well with fans - but those truly looking for a different variation (this begins with the chosen actor to play Heathcliff) might just get what they've asked for. Should go for 7 figures, should be critically lauded and should once again prove that art-house can totally redefine the classics.

Today's announcement for the 2011 Venice Film Festival lineup basically crosses off plenty of sure bets we had been anticipating and makes us circle a bunch of titles we thought had a chance for a 2011 showing but now become hot items for the 2012 campaign. Films such as Juan Diego Solanas' Upside Down, Rodrigo Cortés' Red Lights, Pen-ek Ratanaruang's Headshot, Brillante Mendoza's Prey look more and more like Cannes 2012 items, while acquisition titles such as Antonio Campos' Simon Killer and Nick Cassavetes' Yellow wouldn't be out of place for a Sundance showing.

We're huge fans of Arnold's Fish Tank and her short film work (especially Wasp), and we look forward in seeing how she can add the funk to a tiresome old classic. With her trusted right-hand man in cinematographer Robbie Ryan and a ballsy casting decision move of picking up a non-actor lead for the role of Heathcliff -- demonstrates she's still shooting from the hip. Add this to the Arnold aesthetic which is soaked in a realism, this might become a contempo classic and carry more weight now that this critic appreciates.
