#76. Transsiberian
Director: Brad Anderson
Writers: Will Conroy and Anderson
Producers: Julio Fernández
Distributor: Currently Seeking Distribution
The Gist:Crime thriller revolves around an American couple
(Woody Harrelson and Emily Mortimer) traveling on the Trans-Siberian Railway from China to
Moscow. When they meet another couple (Mara and Noriega), the result is a train
ride full of deception and murder. Ben Kingsley and Thomas Kretschmann will play Russian
police officers pursuing the couples.
Fact: Anderson last directed two episodes of The Wire.
See It: This is yet another example of how the filmmaker is at ease in the thriller genres with a twist. I’m expecting The Machinist type results with superb perfs from this cast.
Release Date/Status?: Sundance and Berlin film festival showcases will help find this film a domestic distributor – a late year release is probable.
