Just a couple of weeks ago we heard that Brian De Palma was working with Jason Statham on remaking an old Burt Reynolds movie called Heat - well today comes news of a different De Palma project and it sounds like this one will definitely be the next movie he makes. Bonus: Dominic Cooper just joined the cast! Via The Playlist:
"After a few stalled efforts and possible projects that didn't quite get moving, Brian De Palma's "Passion" is going full steam ahead, and it looks like it could be his starriest outing since "The Black Dahlia." The film, a loose remake of Alain Corneau's "Love Crime," already has Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace slotted as the dueling leads, and now two more excellent actors are coming aboard.
According to German site MediaBiz (via De Palma A La Mod) Dominic Cooper and Karoline Herfurth have landed roles in the film as well, though it's not clear who they will be playing. The story, which fits right into De Palma's pulpy wheelhouse, tweaks Corneau's film slightly and will focus on a woman who turns to murder when a boss steals her idea. It's basically the dream movie of anyone who has been screwed over by a superior."
Did anybody see the 2010 version? I know I meant to see it - it stars Ludivine Sagnier (who coincidentally was just in The Devil's Double with Dom) as the employee and Kristin Scott Thomas as her boss - but I never got around to it. I might even have a copy buried in my unwatched DVDs at home, now that I'm reminded. Anyway I agree with The Playlist completely - this is right in De Palma's sweet-spot and I can't wait. Hopefully Dom will be as sleazy as possible!
