Over the past few weeks it was reported that Dario Argento had already lined up his next film, Giallo, which would begin production later this year. With his Mother of Tears getting an unrated limited theatrical run later this year, this is the perfect time to get rolling on his next feature, which has just been confirmed with Argento's daughter Asia, along with Ray Liotta and Vincent Gallo starring. All of the details can be found inside.
Italian horror director Dario Argento will begin filming an English-language slasher film next month in Turin, the local film commission said Wednesday, marking the famed director's first English-language effort, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The film will be called "Giallo" -- Italian for "yellow," local slang for the thriller genre -- and will star Argento's daughter Asia, along with Ray Liotta and Vincent Gallo. The screenplay is from Sean Keller and Jim Agnew, who already are collaborating on the in-production horror film "Damned."
The film will tell the story of a serial murderer (played by Gallo) with a taste for attractive women, who is being chased by a solitary detective (Liotta).
The film will be shot on familiar territory: Turin also was the site of most of the shooting for "The Mother of Tears," Argento's most recent film. Both films are backed by financial incentives from the Turin-Piedmont Film Commission.
The 67-year-old Argento is best known for such cult classics as 1977's "Suspiria" and "Inferno" from 1980.

First English language effort? I guess they didn't do their homework. |
