Anton Yelchin, Lucie Lucas star in Portugal-set drama executive produced by Jim Jarmusch Bando à Parte and Double Play Films have announced that principal photography has wrapped on director Gabe Klinger's provisionally titled "Porto Mon Amour," a narrative drama set in Portugal starring Anton Yelchin and Lucie Lucas. Jim Jarmusch executive-produced this experimental narrative focused on a romantic encounter between a young woman (Lucas) and man (Yelchin), shot in Super 8mm, 16mm and 35mm film stock.

The 2011 Black List has arrived online and there are a bunch of the hottest scripts in Hollywood. Some have already been picked up by studios, while most are still unproduced. Here is the press release: The Black List was compiled from the suggestions of over 300 film executives, each of whom contributed the names of up to ten of their favorite scripts that were written in, or are somehow uniquely associated with, 2011 and will not have begun principal photography during this calendar year.
This year, scripts had to receive at least six mentions to be included on the The Black List.
All reasonable effort has been made to confirm the information contained herein. The Black List apologizes for all misspellings, misattributions, incorrect representation identification, and questionable 2011 affiliations.
It has been said many times, but it's worth repeating:
The Black List is not a "best of" list. It is, at best, a "most liked" list.
