hand puppet
has
who
come
to
destroy Earth,
to the studio.
Schneider
may not be a
marquee
name, but his
buddy
Sandler's
attachment to
the project
can't hurt this
pic's chances.
The End of the Affair
Ralph Fiennes ("The Avengers"), Julianne Moore ("An Ideal Husband") and
Stephen Rea ("Guinevere") form a steamy love triangle in this romance set in Europe
during and after World War II. When a man runs into the husband of an ex-lover, his
interest in her—and why she ended the relationship— is rekindled. Neil Jordan ("In
Dreams") writes, directs and produces this adaptation of the Graham Greene novel;
his frequent collaborator Stephen Woolley also produces. (Columbia, 12/3 ltd)
Expioitips: Check out this month's Sneak Preview for BOXOFFICE's chat with Jordan.
Virtual Sexuality
In this British comedy, Laura Fraser
("Cousin Bette") plays a high schooler
who, frustrated with her romantic
prospects (or lack thereof), designs a perfect
man inside a virtual reality machine.
But due to a freak accident, she soon discovers
that she's actually become the man
of her dreams. Nick Hurran ("Girl's Night")
directs; Nick Fisher scripts based on the
novel by Chloe Rayban; Christopher Figg
(the "Hellraiser" franchise) produces.
(Columbia, 12/3 ltd)
Expioitips: This pic may have legs due to
the popularity of gross-out teen comedies:
It's kind of a reverse "American Pie" in that
the protagonist is a gid trying to lose her
virginity, not a guy.
Genesis
Malian Cheick Oumar Sissoko
("Guimba") directs this Bible-inspired
African film based on the story of Jacob
and his sons in chapters 23-27 of Genesis.
Jean-Louis Sagot-Durvaroux scripts. (Kino,
1 2/3)
Expioitips: "Genesis" played at Cannes
this year in the Certain Regard category.
