Cannes Surprise!
For the month of April and May our IONCINEPHILE spotlight will be featuring filmmakers headed to Cannes. The nature of the official announcement means you'll have to wait until we publish this month's featured filmmaker.
Paddy Considine Expands Dog Altogether into Feature called ‘Tyrannosaur’
I'm putting Paddy Considine's feature film debut at the top of next year's list of film's from actor-turned-directors. Tyrannosaur, which I imagine will begin lensing sometime this year, is a continuation and expansion of the characters found in his 2008 BAFTA-winning short Dog Altogether. The short film told the story of Joseph (Peter Mullan), a man who is plagued by a violence and rage that is driving him to self destruction.
Film in Pictures: Lee Chang-dong’s Poetry
Here are the images (and Korean poster one-sheet) for Lee Chang-dong's Poetry. His 6th film will be in Cannes' Main Competition and will be known as the project that brought Jeong-hie Yun out of retirement. The popular Korean actress retired in 1974 and moved to Paris.
Pablo Larrain and Patricio Guzman are this Year’s Chilean Representation in Cannes?
I'm convinced that Larrain will once again be at the festival this year with Post Mortem, a story that is also juxtaposed against Pinochet's early rule. And speaking of Chilean presidents, Patricio Guzman who might be known for his 2007 documentary film Salvador Allende, has directed Nostalgia For Light - a doc film that received what I think was French financing and which could be a sidebar or a special screening offering at the festival.
Diego Lerman, Constantin Popescu, David Verbeek, Alicia Duffy and Filmmaker Mathieu Amalric Headed to Cannes 2010?
Cineuropa have produced a deluge of other probable titles that neither IONCINEMA.com, nor Screen Daily or for that matter any other trades have mentioned in their predictions lists for the biggie festival next May. I think some of the names/titles aren't better than pure specuIation, but are informed guesses.
