Icelandic Thriller 'Jar City' Getting an American Remake

Postby cinematograph » Tue Oct 07, 2008 12:44 pm

http://www.cinematical.com/2008/10/06/i ... an-remake/

Iceland has a more robust film industry than you might expect from a small island nation of only 320,000 people, but still, it ain't exactly Hollywood. So when an Icelandic film gains worldwide attention, it's newsworthy.

Such is the case with Jar City, an excellent mystery thriller that Cinematical's Kim Voynar raved about last year at Telluride. It's the highest-grossing film in the country's history, from one of its most successful (and prolific directors), and it won a top prize at the 2007 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.

And now it gets the ultimate honor: an American remake! (There may have been sarcasm in the word "honor.") According to The Hollywood Reporter, Overture Films has bought the remake rights and will employ the original writer/director, Baltasar Kormákur, as a producer. No word yet on who will direct the U.S. version, but a writer has been attached: Michael Ross, who wrote Turistas and who THR says is also penning the Near Dark remake.

The Icelandic setting will be changed, of course, to its logical American counterpart: Louisiana. No, really. I'm curious to see how the story transfers, since some of its details relate to the insularity of those small Icelandic communities. Also, I loved that the detective in the original was a total badass despite looking like a nerdy college professor. (That's him in the picture.) I hope they keep that element for the remake. William H. Macy would be perfect.

As far as I can determine, this is the first time an Icelandic film has officially gotten an American remake. If anyone knows differently, let me know. Otherwise, I'm marking this as a historic first for our friends in the North Atlantic.

Album Release Party - November 6th @ LEE'S PALACE
Image

Having shared the stage or collaborated with artists such as Kid Koala, RJD2, DJ Food and D-Styles, among others.. iNSiDEaMiND use vinyl and finely tuned turntable skills as their main ingredient to create live original funked out, experimental, electronic hiphop. Comparisons range from DJ Krush to Flying Lotus, Boards of Canada, and Portishead. Naturally their sound varies in mood and tempo bringing imaginary worlds to life.

Aterciopelados

Postby Me » Wed Oct 08, 2008 3:47 pm

Aterciopelados is one of my favourite bands. I want to share it with you all, because I think the music they make is great and the voice of Andre, the vocalist, is so nice!
I guess the Latinamerican people know them, but I want the others to know them.

Aterciopelados is one of the best bands in the world, so much underrated!!!!

I saw Andrea Echeverri live in Austin last year!!! and two hours later, Aterciopelados, in another stage!

HAHA :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper:

both times in first row

OMG it was great!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Are they releasing another album? GREAT!!!

I would recommend Gozo Poderoso!!!!! if you can't find it...Caribe atómico!

there's a best of album called "lo esencial" you'll love that without doubt

Yes, a new album!

It's been three years since OYE, but they are back.
And this new album has a lot of interesting things! They have a new cause more related with the ecology.

And the cover is a grafiti made in a street of Bogotá.

Yes. I don't know if you have already seen the video, but there's a video in MTV. I haven't found it in Youtube. It's the soundtrack of a film.
