'Genova'
From hollywoodreporter.com
I don?t know how everyone else feels, but I?m pretty excited about all this original horror that is set to be produced. It?s such a breath of fresh air from all of the sequel/remakes that Hollywood thrusts upon us. Genova a brand new horror mystery, set to star Willa Holland (The O.C.) and Perla Haney-Jardine (Kill Bill-Vol. 2), centers on a two American girls and their British father who move to Italy after their mother dies.
Accroding to hollywoodreporter.com, fresh from directing Angelina Jolie in the Out of Competition selection A Mighty Heart, British director Michael Winterbottom will welcome Colin Firth, Hope Davis and Catherine Keener to lead his next project, Genova.
Winterbottom will shoot with his finalized cast at the end of June on location in the Italian city of Genova as well as in Boston, with postproduction taking place in the U.K.
The movie is repped internationally in Cannes by Dreamachine, a merger of established art house sales houses Hanway and Celluloid Dreams.
Produced by Andrew Eaton for Eaton and Winterbottom's Revolution Films and co-financed by FilmFour, the U.K. Film Council and Aramid Entertainment, the movie also stars relative newcomers Willa Holland (The O.C.) and Perla Haney-Jardine (Kill Bill-Vol. 2).
Genova is written by Winterbottom and Laurence Coriat, with whom the director collaborated on both A Mighty Heart and Wonderland was co-developed with FilmFour.
Billed as a horror mystery story, the screenplay revolves around two American girls and their British father who move to Italy after their mother dies.
