Just yesterday we shared a lovely pic from director Brian DePalma’s upcoming erotic thriller PASSION and today we have a nice helping of lingerie-clad Rachel McAdams, Noomi Repace, and a freaky-mask lady, all of which spell out the weird, sexual style of the famed director.
Let’s get on with the pics, shall we?
The film is a remake of the French film LOVE CRIME, starring Ludivine Sagnier and Kristin Scott Thomas.
Here’s a synopsis of the original:
When Christine, a powerful executive (Scott Thomas), brings on a naive young ingénue, Isabelle (Sagnier), as her assistant, she delights in toying with her naivete and teaching her hard lessons in a ruthless professional philosophy. But when the protege’s ideas become tempting enough for Christine to pass one as her own, she underestimates Isabelle’s ambition and cunning– and the ground is set for all out war. In this devilish, propulsive thriller, Corneau sets up a the scenery expertly and his actors devour it.
It looks like Repace is taking the Scott Thomas role and McAdams the Sagnier part. Either is cool with me. An erotic thriller with these two lovely ladies and DePalma at the helm is just what the doctor ordered. DePalma seems to fare better in this genre anyway, so he may as well stick with it.
The trailer is set to premiere at Cannes this month, so expect to see that soon, with a release date to follow shortly after. In the meantime, check out the trailer for LOVE CRIMES to get a feel for what to expect with PASSION:
