Major deals are being made in Berlin this weekend on titles that we might eventually see premiere in Cannes -- and I think the consensus on Pawel Pawlikowski's The Woman In the Fifth for a possible Croisette showing is -- the Brit filmmaker certainly fits the scene but this doesn't appear to be fit for this party, at least it doesn't come across as a Main Competition title. ATO Pictures are definitely not concerned with the quality of the picture - as they picked up theatrical distribution rights to the psychological thriller starring Ethan Hawke and Kristin Scott Thomas. We imagine that a pegged date will come after festival premiere has been realized.

Hawke and career hotter than an iron Kristin Scott Thomas will take on the lead roles in a film that should signify the return of Pawel Pawlikowski (he has been dabbling on many projects that never came to fruition (see here). Shooting is set to start in April for The Woman in the Fifth.

Pawlikowski has been involved with a couple of false starts and is probably struggling to get more money out of a Miramax deal for his pic called Young Stalin. He hasn't directed a picture since My Summer of Love, but it appears as if his next pic will be a Polish-British co-production which would shoot this coming summer.

Expect this upcoming Fall season to be a pivotal first for the two-year old ATO Pictures. With Pawel Pawlikowski's The Woman in the Fifth and Dominik Moll's The Monk both expected to make their North American first looks at Telluride/TIFF, the disturb co. will have a Sundance preemed black comedy hitting theatres around the same time.

Sundance is a great place to start off a budding filmmaking career, just that in the case of Considine, he has been a household name in art-house cinema since appearing in Pawel Pawlikowski's Last Resort. Erik Wilson (Submarine) lenses, and thesps Eddie Marsan and Peter Mullan star in what is an extension of Considine's award-winning short film Dog Altogether.
