WOW. What fantastic news! This sounds like a loverly project for Mr. Lee! Colin Farrel as his son? That sounds pretty awesome! I hope it gets a theatrical release...considering it's being released at Canne's, but if not, films like this are almost always released on DVD (well...from my knowledge anyway....I own a few Cannes winners myself)

Can't wait for this! Thanks for letting us know!

WOW...with the disappointing news about Cowboys....this is even greater !!!

**Stephen Welbourn** · 9th April 2008, 09:23 PM

This is excellent news and I am already looking forward to seeing it. I also hope that it gets a theatrical release but if not I look forward to it appearing on DVD.

**Steve Thompson** · 9th April 2008, 10:07 PM

I look forward to seeing the finished production.

I guess everybody loves the entertainment that comes with film like "Star Wars" and "Lord of the Rings" and Mr. Lee was great in these films.

But this project really is different. It's a serious drama, it's a huge, challening part and it has a meaningful message about the cruelty of war, personal tragedies and forgiveness. From that point of view, this is the most interesting role for Mr. Lee since "Jinnah".

As I said in another thread, I'm sure that this film will be shown in cinemas all around the world, many festivals and probably win some awards.

I ordered the novel on which this film is based on and I'm looking forward to the book and the film.

I might add a little correction of the information given by Juan: the current distributor plans to start selling film right at the Cannes festival market this May, but don't expect the film to be completed by then.

I look forward to another great movie from Mr. Lee soon!

This sounds very interesting. Colin Farrel can be extremely good given the right material.It'll be nice to see him working with Christopher Lee.

The first real time I saw Colin Farrel on screen, was in the film Phonebooth, and was so impressed, I immediately bought the DVD. He is exceptional in that film. It's only a relatively short film, but he gives a very strong performance from beginning to end. It will be so good to see him and Mr Lee on screen together.

I am sorry to say that I am not familiar with Colin Farrel; however, I am looking forward to this film....It does sound interesting..

Best to all on this film.

Cheers,
Helen

Then I am not the only, Helen. I am not also familiar with Colin Farrel and I also hope to see this film. Waiting whenever it arrives in Brazil with subtitles.

**David Clayton** · 19th April 2008, 04:56 AM

Oh my God! Another Christopher Lee movie?! This year and the next are going to be some of the best! I can't wait. Mr. Lee rules! Ha ha ha ha...

**Rich Carlson** · 22nd April 2008, 09:14 AM

Hey I just noticed this. This is great news!

**Aaron Singh** · 26th April 2008, 03:06 PM

I agree completely with David up there - these are good times for Christopher Lee fans :)

And Steve's right - HanWay Films is selling the film at Cannes in May but production is only set to finish in June. For those of you not familiar with Colin Farrell, he's not quite world-famous yet but he was in the recent 'In Bruges' where, like Matt said, he was good cos it was the right material (sorry Isabel, I tried looking for a Brazil release date but it's a limited release film and isn't making it to South America - he was in Miami Vice though if you want to see it :))

It's described as a dark psychological thriller - Steve's right in that Mr Lee's role will be deep and quite challenging, given the director's past successes. I for one can't wait to see it.
