#76. Last Word
Director: David MacKenzie
Writer(s): Kim Fupz Aakeson
Producers: Gillian Berrie (Hallam Foe)
Distributor: Rights Available.
The Gist: Scripted by Kim Fupz Aakeson, Last Word is a story about two people who fall in love as the world begins to fall apart.….(more)
Cast: Ewan McGregor, Eva Green, Connie Nielsen, Ewen Bremner and Stephen Dillane.
Why is it on the list?: If The Last Tango ever needed a remake, I’d hand over the assignment to David MacKenzie. The big question is: with Ewan McGregor on board, will MacKenzie be capable of mixing the fatalistic with pure raw sexual energy a la Young Adam once more? I surely hope so, and think so with this Children of Men/Blindness like plot denouement. I also expect this to be a stylish affair.
Release Date/Status?: Currently in post, a Cannes, Venice or London film festival presence in the cards, followed by purchase for the U.S.
