Adrien Brody joins his real-life girlfriend (fab looking Elsa Pataky) for a piece of horror-erotica from legendary director Dario Argento. Producers have found extra money for the shoot, meaning that they were able to replace Ray Liotta in the lead role and grab more star power allure with Brody.
Based on a screenplay by Jim Agnew and Sean Keller, Giallo sees Emmanuelle Seigner take the role of a flight attendant (once assigned to Dario’s daughter Asia) who pairs with the detective (Brody) on a race against time to save her sister, a super model (Elsa Pataky), from a serial killer who has snatched her.
THR reports that the picture will be produced by Rafael Primorac and Richard Rionda Del Castro. Production is set to start May 12 in Torino, Italy. Brody
is exec producing along with Oscar Generale, Claudio Argento, Luis De
Val, David Milner, Billy Dietrich, Patricia Eberle, Donald Barton and
John Hicks.
The trade also fills us in on what the term “giallo” means…it means “yellow” in Italian and also refers to the Italian pulp, horror and erotic genre of film and literature.
Brody is currently on a set in the 50’s project Cadillac Records and he just finished working on another horror-like sci-fi project in Vincenzo Natali’s Splice.
