Stoker could likely be the first English-language film for Park, who is best known for writing and directing the Cannes-winning, 2003 masterpiece, Oldboy, and the more recently, 2009's illicit vampire love story/horror film Thirst.

We started keeping tabs on The Girl Is In Trouble when we profiled indie producer Jen Gatien and subsequently when the film's helmer Julius Onah was named to Filmmaker Magazine’s “25 New Faces” list, yesterday Shadowandact.com showed off a batch of new stills and a synopsis of the feature proving this may well be in the final stages of post-production and potentially ready for the first major film fest of the season.

You can now add Carancho to the list of successful Argentinean films receiving a Hollywood makeover. Last month, Billy Ray signed up to pen the remake for The Secret in Their Eyes. This month the remake rights to the Cannes Un Certain Regard selection and Argentina’s rep for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar are controlled by Fine Cut and Crazy Heart helmer, Scott Cooper, is attached to direct the remake and if Jeff Bridges isn't busy this year, could easily step in the shoes of the protag that was played by Ricardo Darin.

It's been a long time coming for Zero Bridge, but the feature debut of Tariq Tapa has finally found a home in the U.S. with The Film Desk. The film, which first premiered in Venice in 2008 and had it’s U.S. premiere at Film Independent's Los Angeles Film Festival in 2009, will open at New York's Film Forum on February 16, 2011 and will follow with a limited national release.
