Although it's been some time since Brian De Palma last hit it out of the park, I always keep my fingers crossed for a return of the director who brought us CARRIE, SCARFACE and THE UNTOUCHABLES. Financing for Brian De Palma's latest has wrapped up and will be introduced to buyers later this month at Cannes. THR reports that Christina Hendricks (Mad Men) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones) are in talks to star in the film.
Titled DOMINO, the Petter Skavlan (KON-TIKI) scripted flick will follow a "Copenhagen police officer (Coster-Waldau) who is seeking justice for his partner's murder by a mysterious man called Imran. He teams up with a fellow cop and his late partner's mistress (Hendricks) to hunt Imran down, but are unwittingly caught in a cat and mouse chase with a duplicitous CIA agent that will take them from Scandinavia to the sun-drenched landscapes of Spain." Production on DOMINO is expected to get underway this summer and the hope is that the suspense thriller will fall in line with classics like THE FRENCH CONNECTION. Good luck with that.
