It has been announced that David Cronenberg’s first feature film, Shivers, is in the process of being remade:
‘Toronto — September 6, 2013 — Producers Jeff Sackman and Michael Baker today announced that they will remake the horror classic Shivers, David Cronenberg’s first feature film. That film, highlighted with a special screening at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, broke ground with its boundary-pushing sexuality and violence in its original release, nearly 40 years ago.
Shivers will be directed by award-winning Danish filmmaker Rie Rasmussen from a screenplay written by Ian Driscoll. Sackman and Baker will produce through their respective companies, Tajj Media and Bunk 11 Pictures. Working with them as executive producer is the film’s original executive producer, André Link. Shivers will begin shooting in February 2014, with casting currently underway.
In Shivers, a genetically-engineered strain of parasites that turn people into violent, compulsive sex-addicts is released into a self-contained luxury apartment complex.

The Playlist had a very interesting interview with 'model-turned-actress-turned-filmmaker' Rie Rasmussen, who has closely followed the development of Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained since its inception a year and a half ago. Rasmussen first connected with Tarantino while her short film Thinning the Herd traveled the festival circuit. Ever since, the two have become business comrades; Tarantino has purchased the rights of her feature debut Human Zoo for a domestic run.

Rie Rasmussen has said that Django Unchained will revolutionise Hollywood. The Femme Fatale actress, whose directorial debut The Human Zoo recently opened in the United States, praised Quentin Tarantino's upcoming project. "I've been around him since day one when the script was being written and I've followed it through its development this last year and a half," Rasmussen told The Playlist. She continued: "I knew the man was a genius, but... Jamie Foxx is going to motherf**king knock this one out of the park. He's gonna be a young Jim Brown. This movie is going to be a revolution." Rasmussen went on to say that that she is thrilled by the project. "Just last night, he read me something, He's like, 'Oh, I just wrote this new dialogue, (more)...

"Bearing a 2008 copyright, the film Human Zoo pops up for a one-week run at the New Beverly, presented by the theater's benefactor, Quentin Tarantino," writes Mark Olsen in the La Weekly. "Best known to moviegoers as the star of Luc Besson's Parisian fantasy Angel-a, model/artist Rie Rasmussen is here writer, director, star and even co-editor, with the story apparently based on the experiences of her adopted sister." Tarantino, notes Jeff Otto at the Playlist, calls Human Zoo "an electrifying directorial debut. It's as shocking and violent as it is moving and charming." Olsen, on the other hand: "Incoherent and self-indulgent, the film can't even manage to be particularly fun — even the supermodel sex scenes are disconcertingly disengaged, and everything is shot with a dingy patina that parades about as gritty realism."
Back to Otto: "Tarantino and Rasmussen have become good chums. She visited the set of Inglourious Basterds...

Yesterday I posted stills for Rie Rasmussen's feature length directorial debut Human Zoo which premiered at Berlinale only a couple of months ago, and today I was able to scrounge up a trailer which surprisingly has a large amount of English dialog and subtitles for the rest. While it doesn't give away much, it shares some hint that our female lead is some type of badass via Kosovo and I'm greatly looking forward to this.
Human Zoo is the story of a half Albanian half Serbian girl set in both the time of the worst fighting in Kosovo Serbia, as well as present day Marseille France where being an illegal immigrant is tricky when your "government deemed unfit by the international community make you so" too. Presented like a novel in the non linear storytelling of the two interwoven time lines we follow Adria through horrific executions, comical naked...

One film I'm eagerly awaiting a trailer for is Rie Rasmussen's Human Zoo, a dual storyline set in both Kosovo and Marseille which ranges from what looks like action to love. Having premiered at Berlinale, we're still waiting but since it's getting a theatrical release on April 1st I'm expecting one any day now. On a side note, Rie Rasmussen played Angel-a in Luc Besson's film of the same name. Hubba hubba! If you haven't seen that one I'd highly recommend it.

The Panorama section will comprise a total of 50 titles with about a third of those being documentaries and here's the first 21 of the list. Oddly enough Dominic Murphy's White Lightnin' will be playing although it's having it's premier at Sundance. Another film we reported on, Uli Lommel's Absolute Evil starring David Carradine will also be playing, and I'm still wondering how the hell they got that in there.
