Today, we bring you the U.S. one sheet for a film that has smashed box office records and already has an English language remake...

Here is the complete listing for this year's Sundance film festival which kicks off tomorrow!

Edward Norton (The Illusionist, Fight Club, Death to Smoochy) stars as Walter Fane, an English bacteriologist who moves himself and his adulterous wife Kitty (Naomi Watts -- 21 Grams) to a remote region of 1920’s China racked by a Cholera outbreak in The Painted Veil, directed by John Curran (We Don’t Live Here Anymore). The script is adapted from the novel by W. Somerset Maugham by screenwriter Ron Nyswaner (Philadelphia) and Norton, who have been collaborating for over six years to perfect the script and also get the project off the ground. The finished project is well worth their time – filmed on location in China in cooperation with the China film Bureau, The Painted Veil is part love story, part adventure film, and epic both visually and dramatically.

You would think that her intrinsic understanding for the character she plays and consequently, commanding screen performance that she delivered meant that Alejandro González Iñárritu only had her in mind for the role of Amelia, but unlike her costar Gael Garcia Bernal (with whom she has been paired with on a second occasion) the Madre of Mexico’s New film wave still needed to do prove that the role was a right fit for her. Talking to her (via phone and helpful interpreter) I got a sense that while the accolades at this time of the year are pleasant, that this was the sort of rare lifetime role that as the saying goes “comes once in a blue moon”.

It seems like it was only days ago where I chose my most anticipated films for 07. Looks like I already have my pick for 08’. For fans of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and one of my favs of the decade Adaptation, the man as previously announced is going behind the camera – today the Hollywood Reporter reports that a 5some are in negotiations to star. Samantha Morton and Tilda Swinton Catherine Keener, are joining the two previously named additions of Philip Seymour Hoffman and Michelle Williams.
