Exclusive: Deadline has your first look at the film Across the River and Into the Trees, starring six-time Golden Globe nominee Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan), which is opening the Sun Valley Film Festival on March 30.
The drama from award-winning Spanish director Paula Ortiz (The Bride) is based on Ernest Hemingway’s last full-length novel of the same name, published in 1950. It tells the story of Colonel Richard Cantwell (Schreiber), a semi-autobiographical character partially based on Hemingway’s friend, Colonel Charles T. Lanham. Cantwell is a complex and conflicted character, wounded and damaged both physically and mentally by World War II, seeking inner peace, and trying to come to terms with his own mortality.
In post-war Italy, Cantwell finds himself a bona fide hero, facing news of his illness with stoic disregard. Determined to spend a weekend in quiet solitude, he commandeers a military driver to facilitate a visit to his old haunts in Venice.

Pam Grier, Michael Madsen and Brigitte Nielsen join the cast of the grindhouse style film, Skinny Dip. The cast already includes Sasha Grey and Danny Trejo in the film about "a girl who takes an innocent dare, ends up terribly victimized and then seeks shotgun-wielding revenge while wearing a stolen police uniform." Frankie Latina is directing from a script by Norman Lasca. The film has the great tagline of “They took her bikini. They took her virginity. She took her revenge.”
Here is what Latina had to say about the film:
“I grew up on and have always loved the films of the 70’s and 80’s featuring such on-screen idols as Pam Grier, Laura Gemser and Grace Jones. They contain, in my opinion, some the most powerful female performances in cinema history. Skinny Dip will draw from a new, equally powerful and provocative actress in Sasha Grey. Combining the wild,...

Here's an interesting new film that had me digging for more info on Google. Handpicked Films and Tayrona Entertainment have signed Shane West, Cam Gigandet, Val Kilmer, Arielle Kebbel and Eric Balfour to star in James Ordonez's Silver Cord, which was written by Ordonez and Ken Gord. The synopsis given was that the story centers on Ordonez's brother who came back to life after being declared clinically dead on multiple occasions. The brother died in 2004. But we needed to know more, and apparently the film heads in a totally different direction, read on for the full synopsis. The indie feature's aiming at a September start and has obtained a SAG waiver.
