Eh.

I second your "eh" and raise a "meh".

Hopefully this is on-set photography. Digital is rarely ever done right...especially in horror. Story sounds kinda lame...I third the "eh" and second the "meh".

at least it'll look beautiful no matter the script

Wow ! that plot it's ....Totally uninteresting....

Wait, Ben Gazzara is still alive?

Well, obviously, Maxime has got HUGE... shoes to fill. With this kind of plot, there will need to be a few clever plot twists, and massive amounts of well executed gore effects to keep those of us who worship the movies he has already done the directing of photography for. Sounds like it could let us down, but I'll hope for the best with a repitoire like that.

This film has a release date already--it's in November of this year. But it's not really horror at all. It's based on the novella Holy Smoke by Tonino Benacquista i which is a bit of dark comedy and mystery more than anything else. Though the production stills (myspace.com/holymoneymovie) did show a lot of the lead actor being chased and dunked underwater, so some of the comedy could've gone for way of the mystery/mob aspect. Also the film is partially in English and partially in Italian. So if you're looking for another horror film, I don't think that's quite what you're going to get.
