Zero Dark Thirty thesp Mark Strong is set to star opposite Nicole Kidman in Rowan Joffe’s psychological thriller Before I Go to Sleep, which is being shopped to foreign buyers at AFM, says Variety.

“Story follows a north London woman (Kidman) who wakes up every morning remembering nothing. Her husband tells her she suffered a trauma, and that she dare not leave home. She sneaks off to a doctor (Strong) who gives her a small digital recorder and urges her to play back her thoughts day after day in hopes of re-integrating her mind. She does and it works, and that’s when she comes to realize that the man sleeping next to her isn’t her husband.”

Scott Free’s Ridley Scott and Liza Marshall are producing with Mark Gill and Matthew O’Toole, while exec producers include Peter Heslop, Avi Lerner, Danny Dimbort, Trevor Short, Boaz Davidson and John Thompson. Pic is skedded to lense early next year in London. READ MORE

Fox Searchlight recently locked down a March 1, 2013 release for Park Chan-wook’s english-language debut, Stoker, his vampire tale penned by Ted Foulke (aka Wentworth Miller). Empire has premiered a really cool pencil-work poster and an accompanying video, which shows the creation of the one-sheet. That music is “Becomes The Color” by Emily Wells, which plays over the end credits and is now available in iTunes and all good digital retailers worldwide.

Miller also stars alongside Mia Wasikowska, Nicole Kidman, Matthew Goode, Jacki Weaver, Lucas Till, Alden Ehrenreich, Phyllis Somerville and Dermot Mulroney.

“After India’s (Wasikowska’s) father dies in an auto accident, her Uncle Charlie (Goode), who she never knew existed, comes to live with her and her emotionally unstable mother (Kidman). Soon after his arrival, she comes to suspect this mysterious, charming man has ulterior motives, but instead of feeling outrage or horror, this friendless girl becomes increasingly infatuated with him.”

This is the first in a planned trilogy. Park Chan-wook is the Korean master of genre cinema having directed Oldboy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengenace and Lady Vengeance, along with Thirst and JSA. READ MORE

Nicole Kidman Banner50112 Nicole Kidman Wants Her Memory Back In Before I Go To Sleep

The new thriller, Before I Go To Sleep, hasn’t started shooting yet but it does have a sales poster as it heads into Cannes. Nicole Kidman (To Die For, Eyes Wide Shut) had previously been rumored to be starring in the film as it was being set up – but I’d say either a deal is done or she has a pretty firm attachment agreement or else they wouldn’t be trying to sell it based on her name. The film will be written and directed by Rowan Joffe (who directed Brighton Rock and wrote 28 Days Later along with The American). It’s based on a source novel by S.J. Watson.

The film is, “based on the worldwide bestselling novel about a north London woman who wakes up every morning remembering nothing. Her husband tells her she suffered a trauma and that she dare not leave home. She sneaks off to a doctor who gives her a small digital recorder and urges her to play back her thoughts day after day in hopes of re-integrating her mind. She does. It works. And that’s when she comes to realize that the man sleeping next to her… is not her husband.”

Sounds like it could be pretty cool if handled right (then again, that could pretty much be said about anything). Head inside for the sales poster. READ MORE

Opening in limited theaters and on VOD October 14, below you’ll find the official trailer premiere for Joel Schumacher’s thriller Trespass, starring Nicolas Cage, Nicole Kidman, Ben Mendelsohn, Cam Gigandet and Liana Liberato.

After seeing films like Kidnapped, this little fella doesn’t appear to be so “dangerous” or original — I’m open to wagering that there’s even a scene where Nicole Kidman is “nearly” raped.

Karl Gajdusek wrote the screenplay for Trespass which “centers on a man who has everything — a beautiful wife, a teenage daughter, a lavish estate — and is confronted with the reality of losing it all when he and his family become the victims of a vicious home invasion.”

Trespass is the fourth collaboration between Cage and Nu Image/Millennium following Drive Angry, The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans and The Wicker Man.

Chan-Wook Park solidified himself as one of the best directors of the last decade with the Vengeance trilogy, along with the pretty great Thirst and I’m a Cyborg, But That’s OK. With Mia Wasikowska and Nicole Kidman set to star and brothers Ridley and Tony Scott producing, his English language debut, Stoker, is beginning to look like a star-studded event.

Last we heard, Colin Firth was being courted for the lead male role in the film, which follows a teenage girl who must deal with the unexpected appearance of a mysterious uncle while mourning the death of her father. Variety just got word that Matthew Goode is in talks for the part. I got to admit, I haven’t seen a lot of Goode’s work, but he was spot on as Ozymandias in Watchmen.

The Fox Searchlight production is set to debut sometime in 2012.

Ha! And I thought I could finally sit down to watch some basketball…

The LA Times is reporting that hot with Oscar buzz, Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman look to new roles in Stoker.

Firth, the British actor receiving major Oscar buzz for his portrayal of King George VI in The King’s Speech, is negotiating to join the family mystery-drama that South Korean filmmaker Chan Wook-Park (Oldboy, Thirst) is making as his first English-language movie.

Nicole Kidman, herself gaining award-season buzz for her turn as a grieving mother in Rabbit Hole, is also negotiating to come aboard in a lead part.

Penned by actor Wentworth Miller, Stoker tells of a girl and her mother who are visited by a mysterious uncle after the girl’s father dies. Kidman would play the mother and Firth the uncle. The Fox Searchlight film, which is being produced by Ridley Scott’s production company and will star Mia Wasikowska as the girl, India Stoker, is set to start shooting in late spring.
