I love Gary Oldman. The guy is just pure money in everything he’s in. He was the only good thing about Dracula, he totally stole the show in Fifth Element, oh man why list them all… the guy just rules.
One of the things I really respect about Oldman is the diversity in characters that he plays. He does drama, comedies, Sci-Fi and even a bunch of voice work in video games. THe dude is even getting set to be in a Spanish film called The Backwoods. Now that’s diversity. The good folks over at Empire give us this:
It’ll be a mixed language film (in Spanish and English), and also stars Virginie Ledoyen, Aitana Sanchez-Gijon, and the Empire award winning Paddy Considine. The man in charge behind the scenes is debutant director Koldo Serra, and it’s being produced by Barcelona based company Filmax.
The premise follows two English tourists – a couple – on holiday in a friend’s house in a Basque village, who discover a girl in a cabin in said Backwoods, who has deformed hands.
It sorta sounds a little bit like Jodie Foster’s 1994 project “Nell“, but we’ll have to wait and see as more details come out. So keep an eye open for The Backwoods news… just cause Oldman is in it. And oh yeah… he’s got that little Harry Potter film coming out soon too.
