Re-shoots delayed this from being a 2012 release,...
Like just about everyone else we were huge on Sexy Beast back in Y2K and we thought his follow-up film, Birth was a well-intentioned misfire, so you could say it was a long eight year wait for Jonathan Glazer's third film. We were skeptical at first about this project, but then we're reminded of the video helmer/commercials' director skill at creating moody atmospherics and is a whiz with the camera. Sexual identity and humanity are major themes of this sci-fi book to film adaptation.
At the beginning of every month, Ioncinema.com's "Tracking Shot" features a handful of projects that are moments away from lensing and that we feel are worth signaling out. This October 2011, we are keeping tabs on a five projects including an Arnold Schwarzenegger, 30 million dollar action project which we would normally never include on such a list. Last Stand has I Saw the Devil's Kim Jee-woon directing which means this could be bad-ass in terms of tone and style.
