In other news, ScreenDaily reports that principal photography on Alexandros Avranas’ thriller True Crimes, starring Jim Carrey, will begin in Poland’s Krakow on November 7th.
Inspired by the 2008 New Yorker article “True Crimes – A Post-Modern Murder Mystery” penned by David Grann, the thriller centers on a murder investigation that takes clues found in a crime novelist’s book, which strikes a bizarre resemblance to the case.
Carrey will be joined by an impressive European acting ensemble including Ida star Agata Kulesza, Nymphomaniac’s Charlotte Gainsbourg, Aki Kaurismäki regular Kati Outing, Polish actor Zbigniew Zamachowski (Walesa: Man Of Hope), and New Zealand-born Marton Czokas (The Equalizer, Sin City 2).
The Last King Of Scotland scribe Jeremy Brock scripted the adaptation, which sees Brett Ratner and John Cheng producing through their RatPac Entertainment, while David Gerson produces under his shingle InterTitle Films. Ida producer Ewa Puszczynska will serve in a co-producing capacity.
Principal photography is scheduled to wrap on December 20 with the production then moving to Berlin for post-production at Post Republic.
