Cannes 2013: All But ‘Silence’ On the Sales Front
5 hours ago | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Cannes—This year’s Cannes saw a deluge of new titles brought onto the market.
But, through Monday afternoon at least, there had not been a deluge of deals snapping them up.
One day before the pre-sales market wound down, with major distributors planning to pack their bags Tuesday, most major U.S. and European sales companies had little to crow about in contrast to previous years where by this time a flurry of activity would have already been announced.

A L.A. based buyers rep said there was both a lack of quality and “ big mainstream commercial product with guaranteed wide USA theatrical release.”
“Sales are taking longer and have also been scattered: Many movies on the market have sold to most of Asia, Latin America, Germany, Scandinavia and the U.K. but that’s it.” added Constantin’s Martin Moszkowicz. »

Ford’s Focus is on Selling Scorsese’s ‘Silence’ as He Drives Im Global
19 May 2013 12:33 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Im Global topper Stuart Ford knows how to make a splash with Martin Scorsese: Put him on a boat.
The director mingled at one end of Emmett/Furla’s yacht party on Thursday to promote “Silence,” Scorsese’s long-gestating passion project that Im Global is shopping at Cannes. Arguably the market’s highest-profile title, Ford has been putting Scorsese’s star power to work: The helmer spoke at a buyers-only presentation on Wednesday and has been hosting private Q&As with potential bidders.

Ford’s intensely focused approach is indicative of what it’s taken to make Im Global one of the most muscular sales agencies working today. “Silence” may lead to Ford’s involvement in another Scorsese project, “The Irishman,” in which Robert De Niro and Al Pacino are attached to star. There’s chatter about Im Global shopping that pic, which »

'Seduced and Abandoned' (2013) Movie Review - Cannes Film Festival
19 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
You don't get points for the good movie no one went to see. Pretend for a moment you have an endless amount of money to make any movie you want. What would it be? An action film? Romance? Comedy? Who would direct? Who would star? Pretend I came to you with a film directed by James Toback (Tyson) starring Alec Baldwin and Neve Campbell in something of a politically-inspired erotic Middle Eastern adventure inspired by Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris in which there's the promise of exploratory sex. How much would you be willing to pay to help fund that film? Better yet, what would it take to get you to fund that film? While navigating the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, Toback and Baldwin took such an idea to a variety of investors, both foreign and domestic to get the proposed film off the ground, while also taking a »

Martin Scorsese talks new movie: Cannes 2013
16 May 2013 11:21 AM, PDT | TotalFilm | See recent TotalFilm news »
In Cannes to raise funds for his long-cherished project Silence, Martin Scorsese sits on a yacht in his best grey suit, sipping champagne. “The subject matter is very close to my heart,” he tells Total Film. “I’ve been working on it since I first read the book [Shusaku Endo’s 1966 masterpiece of the same name] in 1989.” Having finally overcome legal matters and wrangled a workable script by scribe Jay Cocks (The Age Of Innocence, Gangs Of New York), Scorsese hopes to shoot in 2014. He describes the project as a “smaller film”...

Scorsese, Timberlake Head to Cannes With Projects in Tow
14 May 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Martin Scorsese is a familiar sight on the Croisette, but this year the helmer will also be shopping his own wares. And Justin Timberlake, whose name alone could probably have fetched a hefty check from a producer at one time, is going to Cannes for the first time for the same reason.
It’s a sure sign of the way movie financing has changed when one of the world’s best-known filmmakers and one mega-celebrity must adjust to how most films now find their funding.
Timberlake will be hawking his pic “Spinning Gold,” in which he will star as 1970s music industry legend Neil Bogart. Scorsese, whose movies are typically released by Hollywood studios but sometimes are independently financed, will be looking for coin for his religious-themed pet project “Silence.” That pic is in the hands of Stuart Ford, founder and CEO of Im Global, who will be introducing the »

Cannes Market Loaded With Star-Driven, English-Language Pics
14 May 2013 12:45 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
In a frantic run-up to the annual film market, a cloudburst of English-language movies has swept onto the international stage.
“It’s nightmarish, amazing. This is going to be one of the busiest Cannes ever,” said Ivan Boeing of Brazilian distributor Imagem.
Martin Moszkowicz, at Germany’s Constantin, agrees that last year was robust but this year is even more so.
“There’s a huge number of projects being offered. We’ve gotten well over 200 projects over the last two or three weeks,” he said.
But he cautioned that two-thirds of projects received weren’t ready to come on to the market because they didn’t have a finished screenplay, or a director or cast fully attached.
And without these elements, there’s no guarantee they will happen.
“For the last year or two, studios have been offloading films like ‘A Walk Among the Tombstones,’ ‘American Hustle,’ ‘Solace’ and ‘The »

Andrew Garfield to star in Scorsese's Silence
8 May 2013 12:10 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Andrew Garfield (The Amazing Spider-Man) is set to star in Martin Scorsese's (Hugo, Shutter Island) next project, Silence. The director's long-gestating adaptation of Japanese author Shusaku Endo's novel has secured financing and a production greenlight for June 2014.

Location scouting is currently underway for the film, which is being co-financed by Emmett/Furla Films and Corsan Films. Silence is due to start shooting next summer.

8 May 2013 10:37 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
It’s taken him a quarter of a century, but Martin Scorsese has finally made real progress on his previously inert adaptation of Silence, Japanese writer Shusaku Endo’s historical fiction novel. Starting off his week right, the celebrated filmmaker has not only obtained the required funding for his movie, but also a production green light and the services of Amazing Spider-Man star Andrew Garfield.
Ken Watanabe (Inception) will reportedly be joining Garfield on the screen, putting to rest old murmurings regarding Daniel Day-Lewis and Benicio Del Toro’s involvement. Emmett/Furla Films and Corsa Films are providing the financial backing; production allegedly will start in June of 2014, and location scouting is already underway, though additional details remain scarce at this time.

Watanabe is set to be their interpreter and the cast also includes Issei Ogata.Scorsese has been mulling a film of Shusaku Endo’s novel ever since he first read the book 25 years ago, and began working on an adaptation with writer Jay Cocks almost immediately.

Andrew Garfield Boards Martin Scorsese’s Silence!

Martin Scorsese‘s passion project Silence is finally moving forward! And guess who’s on board to play the male lead? Andrew Garfield! Surprised? I am, it’s hard to imagine The Amazing Spider-Man star as a 17th-century Portuguese Jesuit. Anyway, another good thing is that Garfield (aka Father Rodrigues) will join previously announced Ken Watanabe in a movie which starts production next summer… As you probably remember, Silence is an adaptation of Shusaku Endo’s novel of the same name, which is set in the 17th century and revolves around: …two Jesuit priests face violence and persecution when they travel to Japan to locate their mentor and to...

Andrew Garfield to Star in Martin Scorsese’s Silence
7 May 2013 1:00 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Variety reports that Andrew Garfield has been cast to star in Martin Scorsese's Silence. A passion project of Scorsese's for more than twenty years, Silence is an adaptation of Shusaku Endo's acclaimed novel of the same name about a Portuguese Jesuit missionary who is sent to seventeenth-century Japan and endures persecution. Garfield will play that missionary, Father Rodrigues, a part Benicio del Toro was once attached to. Ken Watanabe will play the father's interpreter. Scorsese has had difficulty getting the movie funded because of its overt religious themes, and he understands the mostly Japanese-language film will appeal to a smaller audience than his last few very successful films. Production will start in June 2014. Do you think Scorsese made Garfield the offer over a plate of lasagna? »
