Nicolas Cage is "Joe"

Of late Nicolas Cage has been churning out film after film, which isn't surprising considering his financial troubles. Today we get a look of Cage in his upcoming film "Joe". The film doesn't sound too appealing if I'm 100% it sounds like numerous films we've already seen, but is that a bad a thing for Cage's career a string of Action films might re-ignite peoples interest in him. "Expendables 3" is coming out this year which should help him a lot plus I imagine he will sign on for many more films in the upcoming weeks/months.

"In the dirty unruly world of small-town Texas, ex-convict Joe Ransom (Cage) has tried to put his dark past behind him and to live a simple life. He works for a lumber company by day, drinks by night. But when 15-year-old Gary (Sheridan) – a kid trying to support his family – comes to town, desperate for work, Joe has found a way to atone for his sins – to finally be someone’s hero. As Joe tries to protect Gary, the pair will take the twisting road to redemption in the hope for a better life in this tough, hard-hitting but incredibly moving story."

 

"Suspiria" remake is official

David Gordon Green has been talking about remaking "Suspiria" for a while now, but it is now official. A press release was issued announcing that the film is scheduled to start filming in September.

"Crime Scene Pictures partners Adam Ripp and Rob Paris today announced they will join forces with producers Francesco Melzi d’Eril (I Am Love, Hotel Rwanda) from Memo Films and Luca Guadagnino (I Am Love) under his First Sun film banner to produce and finance SUSPIRIA, based on Dario Argento’s 1977 film of the same name. David Gordon Green (All the Real Girls, Pineapple Express) will direct from a script he penned with Chris Gebert. Rizal Risjad, Silvia Fendi and Philip Elway will executive produce and Lisa Muskat will co-produce. Wild Bunch plans to sell international territories at Cannes in May while CAA represents the U.S. distribution rights. 

Scheduled to begin filming in September, SUSPIRIA is a horror film centred on Suzie, a bright and ambitious American student who travels to Europe to attend a world renowned school. After a fellow student is brutally murdered and several other cruel and strange homicides disrupt the once quiet life on campus, Suzie realises that the academy may be a front for a more menacing organisation. Casting is already underway including for the coveted role of Suzy, the American student. 

Crime Scene Pictures partners Ripp and Paris said: “We love the style and energy of the original film – and David’s script brilliantly updates the world, presenting a rare opportunity to create an elegant, classic horror film.” Producers Luca Guadagnino and Francesco Melzi d’Eril said: “We welcome Crime Scene Pictures to the team as we are thrilled to bring SUSPIRIA to life with an amazing talent such as David Gordon Green.” First Sun and Francesco Melzi d’ Eril produced the golden globe and BAFTA nominated film I Am Love starring Tilda Swinton and upcoming The LandLords. 

Crime Scene Pictures is currently in pre-production on EVERLY, a thriller starring Kate Hudson with Joe Lynch directing from a Black List script by Yale Hannon which Sierra / Affinity virtually sold out on at EFM in Berlin last month"
