Indie Roundup: Your quick guide to what's new and upcoming in the independent film community.
Deals. Our friends at indieWIRE report that Cracks has been acquired by IFC Films, which plans to release it next year via its IFC in Theaters platform. The film is the feature directorial debut of Jordan Scott, daughter of Ridley Scott. Eva Green (The Dreamers, Casino Royale) stars as a teacher and diving coach in an Irish boarding school for orphaned girls; Juno Temple, Imogen Poots, and Maria Valverde also star. "The trials and tribulations, for both the students and their unorthodox teacher," writes Kurt Halfyard at Twitch, "gradually are brought to a boil that subverts many of the typical paths in either a coming of age story or a typical 'school-girl dormitory' tale."
Michael Caine stars as Harry Brown, a retired Marine who determines to clean up his neighborhood after his best friend is killed.

Eva Green used to come close to fainting because of her shyness. The "Casino Royale" actress - who has previously stripped naked in first film "The Dreamers" - claims she hates drawing attention to herself and often finds herself struck dumb in social situations.
Eva, 29, said: "At school when a teacher asked me a question I would almost pass out."
"I was terrible and still can be. It overwhelms me. I can be having dinner with people and I find I can't say a word."
"So being an actor is kind of masochistic."
The French beauty recently revealed she was also insecure about her body, despite a successful modeling career.

French star Eva Green gets naked for recreation of Charlotte Rampling photo

French actress Eva Green got all sorts of naked for U.K. magazine Tatler. The 29-year-old recreated a 1973 photo of screen-icon Charlotte Rampling.
Eva Green may be best known for playing Vesper Lynd in the James Bond reboot Casino Royale. She was also in the Bernardo Bertolucci film, The Dreamers, where the starlet was largely nekkid for the whole thing.
Rampling is a cinema legend who frequently appeared in risque films. The English actresses’ career has spanned over four decades in English, as well as French and Italian movies. “I generally don’t make films to entertain people. I choose the parts that challenge me to break through my own barriers,” the now 63-year-old said. “A need to devour, punish, humiliate, or surrender seems to be a primal part of human nature, and it’s certainly a big part of sex. To discover what normal means, you have to surf a tide of weirdness.

Mickey Rourke in Mona Lisa Remake

Apparently tired of digging into forgotten (and some not so forgotten) ’80s horror dumpster, Hollywood producers have now turned their attention towards Britain’s dumpsters, and they’ve come up with 1986’s “Mona Smile”. The film originally starred Bob Hoskins and Cathy Tyson, and was directed by Neil Jordan of “Crying Game” fame. The remake will star Mickey Rourke in the Hoskins role, playing an ex-con who gets a job driving a high-priced call girl (Eva Green in the remake); the two eventually become friends and run afoul of a local kingpin.
Variety says Larry Clark (of “Kids” and “Ken Park” infamy) will write and direct the remake, so you should probably expect more than a little skin from ex-Bond girl Eva Green or Larry Clark isn’t doing his job. Then again, it’s not like Green is new to nudity. Her first movie was “The Dreamers”, an Nc-17 affair.

Producer Bellville Dies

Roman Polanski's movie producer pal Hercules Bellville has died after losing his battle with cancer at the age of 69.
The star, who suffered a relapse in his fight against the disease at the start of this year, passed away in London on Saturday.
Bellville served closely as producer to directors like Polanski, Bernardo Bertolucci and Michelangelo Antonioni, and was considered to be producer Jeremy Thomas' right hand man for many years.
He scored his big break in 1964 at the age of 24, when he met Polanski on the eve of making the film Repulsion.
Although initially hired as a runner for Polanski, with whom he worked for over a decade, Bellville would eventually go on to become a well-known figure on the European and American film circuits, working on movies like 1975's The Passenger and 1981's The Postman Always Rings Twice.
His more recent projects include 2000's Sexy Beast and 2003's The Dreamers.
Bellville is survived by his wife Ilana Shulman, whom he married just 48 hours before his death.

Eva Green Will Clone the New Doctor Who

Fresh off of 007 intrigue and boarding schools, the electrically blue-eyed Eva Green is heading to the future, and it sure ain't shiny and happy. Variety reports that she's going to star in a new futuristic drama called Womb -- Hungarian director Benedek Fliegauf's first English-language film. The feature will follow Green as a grieving widow who decides to clone her late husband (Matt Smith, David Tennant's replacement on Doctor Who). Oh, the terrible rationale of our beloved characters on the big screen...
The whole idea of cloning a loved one is a messy -- the fact that they wouldn't grow up just like the original, they'd be a heck of a lot younger, and could very well grow up to fall for someone else. It's also a setup for all sorts of sexual dysfunction -- how does lust fit in if you have a clone of your husband still in adolescence?

Eva Green Advances Stem Cell Research

I figure we've all been missing Eva Green since Casino Royale, and especially since none of us saw her follow-up film, The Golden Compass. And true to a girl whose breakout role was the crazy-sexy-weird The Dreamers, Green has now signed on to a project that straddles that line between fascinating and bizarre.
The project is Womb, a futuristic drama that will be the English-language debut of Benedek Fliegauf, a Hungarian director who's made some impact at the Berlin Film Festival in the past. Variety reports that Green will play a grieving widow who decides to clone her husband; the new Dr. Who, Matt Smith, will play the not-quite-dead guy.
It's hard to deny the appeal of Dr. Who and Vesper Lynd together, even if the movie potentially makes no sense. More likely, it'll be artsy and strange and barely get seen over here, given that it's an English-language debut

Actress Eva Green once Googled herself - and was horrified to discover an online discussion about her nipples.The James Bond star was curious to see what was being written about her on the web and tapped her name into the Internet search engine.
The 28-year-old found a chat room dedicated to her and learned that her breasts were the main topic of conversation - and Green has sworn never to look herself up online again.
She tells Britain's GQ magazine, "It was when (2003 film) The Dreamers came out and I googled myself. My ego drove me to it. It was an insane thing to do. Then I saw that weird discussion and decided never to do it again. People can get very mean. They get angry even if it's just a dress you wore that they didn't like.
"It's actually quite masochistic to google yourself because you know that not everyone is going to like you. Or your nipples."
