NEW TRAILER FOR "A DANGEROUS METHOD" FROM DAVID CRONENBERG

Still from A Dangerous Method

"Sometimes you have to do something unforgivable to go on living".

Just released is this new Trailer for David Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method and everything about it screams Oscars.  Keira Knightley looks like she is delivering some career-best work here as submissive Seductress Sabina and Michael Fassbender as Carl Jung is outright intense.  Cronenberg, who is in Toronto right now working with Sarah Gadon and Robert Pattinson on Cosmopolis, first teamed with that Actress on this Film.

No release date has been set yet, but we're looking at Fall 2011 and this one likely will do the Festival rounds at TIFF this September.

See the Trailer in full below:

COLIN FARRELL AND MARION COTILLARD TO ARRIVE IN TORONTO MARCH 2011

Yes!  It was only a matter of time before he'd come back for more of me. Tee-hee  Yes, that's Colin Farrell and me caught in a warm embrace this past September at TIFF.

Farrell has signed on along with Oscar winner Marion Cotillard to star in Canadian legend David Cronenberg's next project Cosmopolis.  As reported here previously, Cronenberg is now in Germany working on The Talking Cure.  According to our friends at PopGoesTheNews, Farrell will play a wealthy Asset Manager in Cosmopolis who loses his fortune while trying to get across New York City in a Limousine.  The adapted screenplay is based on a novel by author Don DeLillo and begins filming March/April 2011 around Toronto.  So very exciting. 

What an honour it will be to have Cotillard, one of my favourite actresses, also in our city.  Her star is also shining brightly right now with a role in eagerly-anticipated blockbuster Inception alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, in theatres July 16, 2010.  (Photo credit: Mr. Will-W.)

THE TALKING CURE - AN EARLY LOOK

Viggo Mortensen, whom I feel was ignored unjustly in the Oscars Best Actor race for The Road, has just been confirmed to replace recent Best Supporting Actor winner Christoph Waltz in great Canadian director David Cronenberg's newest film, The Talking Cure.  It will be based on the book by Christopher Hampton (author of Dangerous Liasons) and is said to be about psychoanalyst/neurologist Sigmund Freud, who will be played by Mortensen and his feud with pupil Carl Jung.  The latter will be played by Michael Fassbender, known best for his tour-de-force performance in 2008's Hunger where he emaciated himself beyond recognition for the role.

The film will also star one of my favourite younger actresses Keira Knightley who will play Sabina Spielrein, the object of the master and pupil's feud.  It won't be in theatres until 2011 and as is the case with many of Cronenberg's films, they receive the gala treatment at TIFF. Sounds smoking hot.  Please let there be lots of love scenes.  Thanks!  (Photo credit: Mr. Will-W.)
