A sequel to the now cult film "Drive" (directed by Nicolas Winding Refn) starring Ryan Gosling is in the works.

Since the announcement that “The Thin Man” would be made into a remake, actresses are vying for the marquee role. The notorious 1934 film (cast included Myrna Loy and William Powell) led to one of the first franchises in film history, with six films produced in all.

Matthew McConaughey, who came to the Croisette to present a film for the first time in his career, plays the Mud of the title, an enlightened vagabond living on a deserted island on the Mississipi river—his past is heavy with blunders.

“All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring” (Chuck Palahniuk). I think that Chuck Palahniuk must be a fan of Leos Carax’s films.
