Brian De Palma is set to direct “Domino,” the anticipated thriller written by “Kon-Tiki” scribe Norwegian Petter Skavland with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (“Game of Thrones”) and Christina Hendricks (“Drive”) on board to topline. IM Global represents the film in international markets, outside of the U.S. which is repped by ICM. “Domino” will start shooting this summer. A contemporary high-voltage thriller, “Domino” stars Coster Waldau as a Danish cop who goes rogue with the help of a fellow police officer Hendricks to track down a suspect who killed his partner in Copenhagen while Europe is being targeted by terror attacks. What the pair doesn’t know is that the suspect they are chasing is working for a CIA operative and is on the trail of the ISIS cell behind the attacks. “From the start our ambitions have been to create a suspense filled thriller in the line of such classics as “French Connection”; having Brian De Palma on board only heightens this ambition,” added Schønnemann. variety.com/2017/film/global/brian-de-palma-boards-domino-with-coster-waldau-and-christina-hendricks-1202408309/ |

Depalma like Mann, always keeping up to date with societal trends.
Love the sound of this movie a lot, and like Christina Hendricks working with a patrician auteur.

Yes! De Palma really needs a big comeback. His last movie was amazing tho It was fun but wasn't seen by many and was quickly forgotten. |

DePalma hasn't made a very good film in over a decade, so I can't say I'm especially interested. Hopefully he's actually able to make another actual good film, but I'm not sure this film will be it.

Sorry, but the last DePalma I even found remotely interesting Femme Fatale was 15 years ago. I didn't like The Black Dalhia, Redacted was shit, & I still haven't seen Passion yet, though I should probably change that soon. That's pretty much my relationship with modern DePalma in a nutshell. I'm not sure this will be any different, but hey you never know he could surprise. Having the Kon-Tiki writer on board sounds promising I guess.

Passion is fantastic. I haven't seen Redacted. Black Dahlia is one of his weakest though, it's true. |

Redacted sorta feels like DePalma's attempt at handling a very serious subject (in this case Iraq at the height of the Iraq war), & just not handling it well.
I haven't seen Passion yet, but I may consider watching it. The trailers certainly made it striking visually.

I like that Christina Hendricks is involved. De Palma, not so much.

I was actually looking very much forward to this film as I thought it sounded like something De Palma would excel in and could be a return to strong form. But my anticipation slowed down when I read what De Palma was saying about filming Domino:
"It was a horrible experience. The film was underfunded, it was far behind, the producer did not stop lying to us and did not pay some of my crew..."
"I was in many hotel rooms waiting for the money so that we could continue shooting. I was in many fabulous cities, waiting in hotel rooms. I was here a hundred days in Europe, and shot thirty. However, somehow we managed to make a movie out of this completely chaotic production situation, and hopefully you'll be seeing it in your local cinemas sometime in the future."
However I did some research today again and he also stated about the final project:
"Yes, it is good. It's very good."
That gives me hope again.

I've never been sure what to make of this project - to me I always thought he needed something completely outside of his '76-'83 genius era (with the exception of the so so The Fury) - no more horror, suspense, crime.
I think Paterno was that kind of project for him - something unique that would allow him to go somewhere else....The Black Dahlia convinced me of that because at one time he would have been as suited to that film as anyone and by 2006 when he made it, well he didn't seem like the same guy. A film about murder, Hollywood, with set pieces and period detail it screamed DePalma in 1981....... so I'm always unsure of where he is right now, but Passion actually had some of his old brio to it and love it or hate it, at least felt like a De Palma film.
He's a strange guy because unlike others I'd link him to like Argento and Craven - he never wanted or settled with being pinned into a corner - in some ways if DePalma spent his whole career making small, weird thrillers he may have been better off - but his ambition, an admirable quality - took him off that path and in some ways made him less himself too.
I always talk about Argento's Stendahl Syndrome - a nasty film (a compliment here) where he reverted back to himself and things he had done prior but with a twist and made something that at its best approaches his best work and for Craven, well, did that with Scream......for DePalma, I don't know what a similar "in his wheelhouse" project really could be now?
Sometimes I see something that he would have been really great at - Gone Girl is perfect for him...........or would have been once......... just like The Black Dahlia.

All hail King Brian, one of the most gifted visual stylists ever. And he could be a smart one too! He should get the same reverence his fellow movie brats received before it's all said and done. Great filmmaker!

How many trash scripts can you pick up before you're just trash period? Feed that visual filmmaker bullshit to the birds. De Palma's sense of humor is all he has. Spielberg can do literally everything De Palma can do technically, and more. De Palma is a talented bitter underachiever who never figured out that he couldn't write worth shit.

Spielberg can do literally everything De Palma can do technically, and more. De Palma is a talented bitter underachiever who never figured out that he couldn't write worth shit. Well, you know, Spielberg was the brilliant student who studies really hard and wants everyone to know how brilliant he is and needs you to tell him that, he's in bed by 9:00 after a glass of warm milk..........De Palma doesn't study for the test, might ace it, might flunk it, might be hungover for it, wants you to tell him he's brilliant AND also tell him he's sick AND that he needs therapy as long as you're talking about him then it's all good ............... and laughs that he pissed you off and fantasizes about murdering that therapist and also hasn't slept for days because he wonders how exactly the knife will pierce the therapist's flesh and what is the best bleach is for removing blood and he heard somewhere that mixing it with baking soda was a cool trick to try and............ Its not really an issue of sense of humor as much as it is De Palma's sensibility and its that attribute which allowed him to make films that were great/good/bad - and that Spielberg really couldn't make ..........but also ones he wouldn't want to make anyway. |
