No ‘Limits’ to the number of Jarmusch returnees

Date:

I’m not sure what kind of tax incentives foreign film productions are receiving for filming in Spain, but the government is welcoming them with open arms. Apparently this is such the case for maverick Jim Jarmusch’s newest project currently filmiing in Madrid, and then shifting onwards towards Seville. Variety reports that casting is complete with a couple of Jarmusch regulars in the line-up.

To be retitled later down the line, The Limits of Control will see Isaach De Bankole and Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton and Gael Garcia Bernal but will also now include a couple of locals and Youki Kudoh of Jarmusch’s “Mystery Train”. Hiam Abbass, Paz De La Huerta , Alex Descas, John Hurt, Jean-Francois Stevenin, and Luis Tosarfill out the cast.

Focus Features who were onboard for Broken Flowers have distribution rights for this picture – the storyline feels awfully familiar to Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai  – Isaach De Bankole will play a mysterious loner used to
operating outside the law, who is about to complete a job in contempo Spain.
