At the beginning of every month, IONCINEMA.com's "Tracking Shot" features about a half dozen projects that are moments away from lensing and that we feel are worth signaling out. This August, we've got a good grouping of titles that are positioning themselves for a Cannes release next May.
On the indie front, any hopes of seeing Lee Daniels' Selma go into production appear to be dashed, financing woes might pull the plug on the production despite this being a perfect opportunity, especially in today's climate, to re-introduce a film which has racism in the forefront. We are awaiting confirmation on a filmmaker from our American New Wave 25 profiles to confirm a start date this month, but three established veteran indie filmmakers will be commencing production shortly: Rodrigo García is looking to direct Glenn Close's Albert Nobbs project, Mark Pellington's low budget I Melt With You will get the greenlight soon and Mary Harron will film a horror film (The Moth Diaries) in Montreal. Also in the North American French metropolitan city, we'll see C.R.A.Z.Y. and The Young Victoria's Jean-Marc Vallée directing a pairing of Vanessa Paradis with a first time actor in musician Kevin Parent in Café de flore.
Four Cannes regulars will begin production this month: we have Paolo Sorrentino's English language debut film This Must be the Place, Pedro Almodóvar's La piel que habito, Bruno Dumont L'empire and Walter Salles's On the Road.
