Buyers travel to Ruiz's Lisbon; Giamatti, Binoche join Cosmopolis

Veteran producer and Alfama boss Paulo Branco also talks about new productions including Cosmpolis’ growing cast.

Veteran producer and Alfama boss Paulo Branco has confirmed a handful of sales on Raul Ruiz’s The Mysteries Of Lisbon.

The film, made both as a TV series and as a feature, has gone to Music Box for the US, Wanda for Spain and Swallow Wings has taken
Taiwan. As previously reported, New Wave is aboard for the UK while Mostra De Sao Paolo will release the film in Brazil. Alfama has been
handling world sales alongside Doc & Films International. Branco reports that several other countries are in negotiation to take the
film.

The Mysteries Of Lisbon has already posted 100,000 admissions in France.

Now, Branco is planning two further films with Raul Ruiz. One, a small untitled film, will shoot at the end of the year. The other, The Black Book Of Father Dennis, is based on a book by Castelo Branco (author of Mysteries Of Lisbon) and will be on a far grander scale. The feature film will be shot in France and Italy in 2012.

He also said that there was now a confirmed shooting date for David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis(sold by Kinology but produced by
Branco) of May 24. Paul Giamatti and Juliette Binoche have also joined the cast.

KINOLOGY

It is an April day in the year 2000 and an era is about to end. The booming times of market optimism -- when the culture boiled with money and corporations seemed more vital and influential than governments -- are poised to crash. Eric Packer (Pattinson), a billionaire asset manager at age
twenty-eight, emerges from his penthouse triplex and settles into his lavishly customized white stretch limousine. Today he is a man with two missions: to pursue a cataclysmic bet against the yen and to get a haircut across town. Stalled in traffic by a presidential motorcade, a music idol's funeral, and a violent political demonstration, Eric receives a string of visitors -- experts on security, technology, currency, finance, and a few sexual partners -- as the limo sputters toward an increasingly uncertain future. Based on the novel by Don DeLillo. (Giamatti plays the dual role of Benno
Levin/Richard Steers. / Production office opens Mid-March.)
