Focus Features has announced they have acquired the worldwide rights to Jarmusch's next film. Christopher Doyle (!) will be handling the cinematography duty. Shooting starts in Spain in February.

Jarmusch and Murray reunite for road thriller

Quote:
BERLIN (Hollywood Reporter) - Writer/director Jim Jarmusch has enlisted past collaborators Bill Murray and Tilda Swinton along with Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal for his upcoming thriller "The Limits of Control."

The road movie centers on a mysterious loner who attempts to complete a criminal job. The film will shoot this month on location in the Spanish cities of Madrid, Seville and Almeria. It will be distributed in the U.S. by Focus Features.

"Control" marks the third teaming between Jarmusch and Murray after "Coffee and Cigarettes" and the art-house hit "Broken Flowers." Swinton also appeared in "Broken Flowers" along with Sharon Stone, Jessica Lange, Chloe Sevigny and Julie Delpy.

Am I the only one who loves Gael Garcia Bernal?

I have been really excited over all the roles he's been involved in lately - he's been working with some topnotch directors.

so much for Bill Murray's "retirement" (or did he just mean that he's retired from starring in Wes Anderson's films?)

I, too, enjoy Gael Garcia Bernal. He plays a great wide-eyed naive kid.

"The road movie centers on a mysterious loner who attempts to complete a criminal job."

Sounds like another reimagining of Melville's Le Samourai.

A wider release will probably depend on how well the limited engagements go.

I am really looking forward to this - figured it would get a spring release as they try to match the success of Broken Flowers.

Those stills confirm my enthusiasm for a Jarmusch film with Doyle behind the camera. They look great, like photographs you'd see in an art gallery for Martin Pare or something.

May can't come soon enough!

Last night, I actually dreamt I saw this movie. Weirdly enough, it turned out to be a children's movie.
Which probably has a lot to do with the outlandish costumes.

Very intriguing, indeed! I've seen very little of him, but there's something so magnetic about Isaach de Bankolé.

Le Samourai seems to be a big influence on this one. Looks fantastic, and Doyle's hand is clearly felt even in that brief trailer.

I'll be there. No matter how outwardly mainstream some of his films (Broken Flowers especially which I loved) seemed to be, they were still uniquely and unmistakably Jarmusch's work. Very pleased to see him working with Chris Doyle at long last - this looks exquisite. And I nearly did a double take when the credits revealed Tilda Swinton - I didn't recognise her at all.

Mann, Malick and Jarmusch - 2009's shaping up very nicely.

Yes, this looks great. Jarmusch must really love Le Samouraï though, given that this looks to be his second work inspired by that film.

It's impossible to know what sort of tone it's really going to strike through that trailer.

This does look great - and yes, very Le Samourai-esque yet again. He has mentioned several times that he regards that film quite highly as an influence. But the combination of Jarmusch's deadpan pacing and Doyle's cinematography looks to be remarkable. I was really excited before as a fan of Jim's work, but now I'm super excited.
