Casting is complete, techs crews are hired, distribution rights are being sold and shooting is about to begin on Jordan Scott’s feature length film debut. The daughter of Ridley and niece of Tony will be working with starlets Eva Green, Juno Temple, Maria Valverde, Imogen Poots and Sinead Cusack.
Written for the screen by Caroline Ip and Ben Court, based on the novel by Sheila Kohler, Cracks is about a group of girls at a boarding school in England in the 1930s who become caught up in the web of a charismatic teacher.
Jordan and Ridley teamed for one of the seven segments (Mehdi Charef, Emir Kusturica, Spike Lee, Katia Lund, Stefano Veneruso and John Woo) for All the Invisible Children.
Screen Daily reports that StudioCanal has taken all rights for the UK, France and Benelux, while the Irish Film Board are adding fund money to the project which is being produced by Scott Free’s Julie Payne, Future Films’ Kwesi Dickson, Element Pictures’ Andrew Lowe, Industry Entertainment’s Rosalie Swedlin, Killer Films’ Christine Vachon, HandMade Films International and Alain Goldman’s Legende Enterprises.
John Mathieson, who worked on many of Ridley Scott’s projects, will serve as cinematographer.
