As reported back in January, PASSION is a remake of the French erotic thriller CRIME D’AMOUR starring Kristin Scott Thomas and Ludivine Sagnier. De Palma had this to say about the film: “Not since ‘Dressed to Kill’ have I had a chance to combine eroticism, suspense, mystery and murder into one spellbinding cinematic experience.” Rapace and McAdams would presumably take over the roles previously played by Thomas and Sagnier. No story details are available at this time, but knowing that De Palma will be once again be returning to a genre he’s not only excelled at, but simply had so much damn fun with, is really exciting.
PASSION, said to be budgeted now at $20 million, will begin production on March 5th in Berlin.
