Tracking Shot July 2009: The Fighter, Your Highness and Vengeance: A Love Story

At the beginning of every month, IONCINEMA.com’s “Tracking Shot” features a half dozen projects or so that are moments away from lensing and that we feel are worth signaling out. This July (2009), we are keeping tabs on Paul Scheuring‘s Americanized remake of the German film Das Experiment, Trent Cooper‘s third outing as a director with the comedy Father of Invention, David O. Russell puts the Nailed mess behind him to concentrate on The Fighter, Harold Becker starts filming Uma and Abigail in Michigan and David Gordon Green directs his second straight studio film in parts of the U.K/Ireland.
