Alireza Khatami, the Iranian director who co-helmed “Terrestrial Verses” — which denounced the country’s authority and was the only film from Iran at Cannes this year — is directing “Things That You Kill,” a political drama about the patriarchy set in Turkey and featuring a starry cast.
Shooting recently wrapped in Turkey on Khatami’s new film, which stars Turkish A-listers Ekin Koç (“Burning Days”), Erkan Kolçakköstendil, Hazar Ergüçlü (“The Protector”) and Ercan Kesal.
The Canada-based Khatami’s first feature, “Oblivion Verses,” won the Venice Film Festival’s Orizzonti award for best screenplay in 2017. “Terrestrial Verses,” which Khatami co-directed with Tehran-based Ali Asgari, recently premiered in Un Certain Regard in Cannes. Shot in Tehran after the Mahsa Amini movement started, “Verses” consists of nine tableaus depicting the increasingly absurd and tragic plight that Iranians face in their everyday life with a scathingly ironic deadpan tone.

Another new music video coming out on February 11 is the one supporting Trace Adkins' single "Brown Chicken, Brown Cow". The video is a showcase of the puppetmasters who create the faces of TV show "Crank Yankers". The country music singer is the only human appearing in this clip before he is later replaced by a puppet version of himself.
"[It's] really creepy," Adkins told The Boot. But, he enjoyed filming it, "Doing music videos prepares you for when you get into larger productions, whether it's television or movies." He added, "What it prepares you for is the waiting part, where you're sitting around on set waiting to relight something or light the next shot. That's the most monotonous part of it. Music videos are great for that part."
Adkins has recently filmed a movie "The Lincoln Lawyer" which stars Matthew McConaughey. "It was a great experience," he gushed. "Everything I did was with Matthew.
