Vincent Cassel Returns For Eastern Promises 2
David Cronenberg‘s Eastern Promises 2 is coming, and it’s definitely not a surprise, since the director revealed his plans about the sequel back in March, when we also learned that Cronenberg has already had meetings with Viggo Mortensen about reprising his Nikolai role.
But today, we’re here to report that Vincent Cassel confirmed that he will be returning (as Kirill) for the sequel as well!
In an interview with ComingSoon, Vincent Cassel said:
“I sure hope it happens. There’s a script, David Cronenberg wants to do it. The script is really good, so hopefully it’s going to go.
I think David wants to make another film before, but whenever they’re ready, I told them, ‘I’m here’.
A Dangerous Method: Viggo Mortensen and Michael Fassbender First Look
With three well-known names involved in the whole thing, this project definitely sounds awesome.
David Cronenberg‘s long waited project with Viggo Mortensen as Sigmund Freud and Michael Fassbender as Carl Jung, titled A Dangerous Method is moving forward, so we guess you’ll be happy to hear that we finally have something to share with you – the first set photos!
We already wrote about this movie, but let’s all remind the story once again:
David Cronenberg to Direct As She Climbed Across the Table
As She Climbed Across the Table, maybe this title doesn’t sound familiar, but now, when we have a rumor that David Cronenberg is attached to direct a film based on this 1997 novel by Jonathan Lethem, we have no doubt you’re going to remember it!
As usual (with Cronenberg’s name involved in some project) this is not going to be some easy story. As the matter of fact here’s a pretty weird plot that we managed to get:
“Particle physics, false vacuum bubbles, an alternate universe-this is the stuff of Jonathan Lethem’s novel As She Climbed Across the Table. The tale echoes Alice in Wonderland in its mad tumble through a rearranged reality.
Narrator Phillip Engstrand is a university professor who has made a career out of studying academic environments. Engstrand is in love with Alice Coombs, a particle physicist engaged in a bold attempt to replicate the origins of the universe. The result of the experiment is Lack, a very selective black hole that sucks some things into its void-a cat, a pair of socks, a strawberry-and rejects others, namely, a love-struck Alice.
Colin Farrell and Marion Cotillard In Cosmopolis
Colin Farrell and Marion Cotillard in one movie? Sounds good.
Well, guess what! That David Cronenberg adaptation of the novel by Don DeLillo, titled Cosmopolis is finally coming. Farrell and Cotillard will play husband and wife and we will have a chance to follow them during a period of 24 hours where this gorgeous Irish actor, in a role of an asset manager, loses all his wealth.
We did a little research about DeLillo’s novel and here’s how they describe it: “Most of the action takes place inside a “prousted” (cork-lined) stretch limo, as the reclusive financial wizard Eric Packer is chauffeured across Manhattan for a haircut.
Thanks to a presidential visit, antiglobalization demonstrations, and a celebrity funeral, this journey takes up most of the day. Stuck in traffic, Packer anxiously monitors the value of the yen on the limo’s computer. Using the car as his office, he summons advisors from nearby shops and restaurants.
His physician gives him a rubber-gloved physical exam in the back seat as Packer discusses imminent financial ruin with his broker and angry crowds block the streets.”
The Talking Cure Now Is A Dangerous Method
Hollywood re-title-mania! We already wrote about this upcoming project that will be directed by David Cronenberg, so basically, now we have to confuse you all a little bit by giving you the new title – A Dangerous Method.
Same movie, same story, same actors, and we have no idea what’s wrong with that previous The Talking Cure, but ok…
In case you forgot our report about this one, we’re right here to remind you. The film is based on the play The Talking Cure by Christopher Hampton, which revolves around a love triangle that develops between psychiatry pioneers Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung who both fall in love of Jung’s patient.
And you should definitely remember the cast: Sigmund Freud is played by Viggo Mortensen, Carl Jung is Michael Fassbender and Jung’s patient Sabina Spielrein is lovely Keira Knightley.
In the official synopsis part, you can find next description: “Overshadowed by portents of the coming wars, Zurich and Vienna are the setting for this tale of emotional vicissitude and intellectual debate.
Eastern Promises 2 Reteams David Cronenberg and Viggo Mortensen
Get ready for Eastern Promises 2 this winter!
And of course, is there better choice for a Russian mob man, than a guy we all used to – Viggo Mortensen? Hell, no!
So, David Cronenberg will direct from Steve Knight’s script, and the Focus Features project hopes to go this winter. But first, let us remind you that those guys have to work together on the Sigmund Freud movie The Talking Cure…
We’re sure you already liked the idea of bringing a sequel of the 2007 mafia drama to the big screen.
And ok, nothing is sure at this moment, and we don’t have too much information to share with you, so we’re all interested to hear where the story will go this time.
Viggo Mortensen Replaces Christoph Waltz In The Talking Cure
The Talking Cure – it already sounds like a good title, especially if you know that story includes two very well known names like Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung.
You had a chance to read about this new project, but some things changed in a meanwhile, mostly those that referred to a possible cast…
For almost three years we knew the fact that David Cronenberg is more than interested in Christopher Hampton‘s play The Talking Cure, and was preparing it as his new project.
But like we’re all used to, in Hollywood everything changes within a minute, so did Cronenberg’s plans, since he, in that time, became attached to The Matarese Circle.
Anyway, there was a rumor that names like Keira Knightly, Michael Fassbender and Christoph Waltz, are going to be a part of it.
Keira Knightley, Christoph Waltz, Michael Fassbender In Cronenberg’s “Talking Cure”
Keira Knightley will lead the cast of David Cronenberg‘s new film “The Talking Cure.”
The Playlist discovered that Australian film company Hopscotch Films made an announcement on its Facebook page that Knightley will star alongside Christoph Waltz and Michael Fassbender (“Inglourious Basterds”).
