The Norwegian Film Institute has joined the project with funding.
The new adaptation of Swedish period drama The Emigrants is set to be directed by Erik Poppe who will replace long-attached filmmaker Daniel Espinosa, who left the project because of schedule conflicts.

He has been replaced with Norwegian director Poppe, whose credits include The King’s Choice and Utoya - July 22.

Crispin Glover has joined the indie-action thriller "Motel," which already has John Cusack, Robert De Niro and Rebecca Da Costa attached to star. David Grovic will direct the story about a hit man (Cusack) hired by a crime boss (De Niro), who teams up with a mysterious woman to fight off a bunch of baddies in the Delta. Um, okay. Martin Klebba aka the dwarf who punched people in the groin in "Project X" is also on board, and the film is currently shooting. [THR] Sofie Gråbøl (star of the original Danish series "The Killing") and Signe Egholm Olsen will team with Dogme director Søren Kragh-Jacobsen's latest film "The Hour Of The Lynx." Based on an original story by Swedish author Per Olov Enquist, the psych-thriller will follow a vicar who runs an experiment which gives violent, traumatized inmates at an institution the responsibility of caring for animals as pets.

As previously mentioned in these dispatches (see #1 and #2), my chief sources of delight among the feature-length films shown at the 2009 Viennale were a pair of minor masterpieces from Filipino legend Lino Brocka—Jaguar (1979) and Weighed But Found Wanting (1974)—and the comparatively box-fresh Totó by Peter Schreiner. Having now seen two pictures by Schreiner and five by Brocka, I am very keen to catch further examples of their work and also to recommend them to others who aren't aware of their mastery. The low profile of Schreiner, even among committed cinephiles, is particularly perplexing and undeserved.
This year's Viennale also allowed me to extend my shamefully limited knowledge of the films of Robert Bresson, who has long been one of the most revered, respected, venerated figures in international cinema. Before this week I'd only ever seen two Bressons: The Devil, Probably(Le diable, probablement, 1977), which I saw at the Edinburgh Film...

- After a crazy year where they brought six or seven titles to Cannes (including Tulpan, Waltz with Bashir) in various competition categories, this year The Match Factory bring only a pair of titles in Ajami and Kinatay. Nonetheless, they also bring along their batch of well-performing films from Berlin. They aren't a production company, but highly selective sales company that work with producer's from all over the world. And that is why I'm including them in this producer's patch series. Update: they just included Aktan Arym Kubat’s next feature The Light to their stable. Contact High by Michael Glawogger - Completed The Dust Of Time by Theo Angelopoulos - Completed Ajami by Scandar Copti - Completed Dorfpunks by Lars Jessen - Completed Germany 09 (Deutschland 09) by Fatih Akin - CompletedGIGANTE by Adrián Biniez - Completed Kinatay by Brillante Mendoza - Completed The Milk Of Sorrow by Claudia Llosa -

BERLIN -- Film composers Zbigniew Preisner (Three Colors: Blue/White/Red) and David Holmes (Ocean's Eleven) have signed on as hosts of this year's Berlinale Talent Campus, the mini-film school event that runs concurrent with the Berlin International Film Festival, organizers said Friday. Preisner, who was twice nominated for a Golden Globe for his scores to Three Colors: Blue and At Play in the Fields of The Lord, was awarded a special Berlin Silver Bear for outstanding single achievement in 1997 for his music to Soren Kragh-Jacobsen's The Island on Bird Street. In addition to his work on Ocean's Eleven and the upcoming sequel Ocean's Twelve, Holmes composed the score for Gregor Jordan's controversial Buffalo Soldiers, which was shot almost entirely in Germany. Talent Campus organizers on Friday also announced they have selected 520 young filmmakers from 84 countries to attend this year's event. The group was chosen from more than 3600 applications. The theme of this year's Talent Campus is film sound and music. In addition to Holmes and Preisner, other hosts include director Anthony Minghella, sound and film editor Walter Murch, screenwriter/producer Eleanor Bergstein and directors Nicolas Philibert, Alan Parker and Wim Wenders.
