Tracking Shot May 2010: A Dangerous Method, The Fields, Selma, Wuthering Heights
This May, we are keeping tabs on David Cronenberg’s reunion with thesps from Eastern Promises which is set for an Europe shoot, we have Andrea Arnold taking over the Wuthering Heights project throwing out previously attached actors in favor of a mostly unknown Kaya Scodelario, and a yet to be determined male lead. Post-Precious, we have Lee Daniels working on what should be a much talked about film in next year’s campaign.
At the beginning of every month, IONCINEMA.com’s “Tracking Shot” features about a half-dozen projects that are moments away from lensing and that we feel are worth signaling out. This May, we are keeping tabs on David Cronenberg’s reunion with thesps from Eastern Promises which is set for an Europe shoot, we have Andrea Arnold taking over the Wuthering Heights project throwing out previously attached actors in favor of a mostly unknown Kaya Scodelario, and a yet to be determined male lead. Post-Precious, we have Lee Daniels working on what should be a much talked about film in next year’s campaign. Other films on the radar include Ami Canaan Mann’s directing debut – and we are crossing our fingers for indie filmmaker Bradley Rust Gray who should technically begin filming this month – I expect some cast confirmations shortly.
