Toledo, Spain — Adding to its bullish line-up of primetime dramas, Spain’s Atresmedia TV is set to adapt “Angela Black,” its second ITV drama makeover from “The Missing” creators, Harry and Jack Williams, after the Spanish commercial broadcaster’s reversion of “Liar.”
Currently casting and set to go into production this fall in Bizkaia’s Bilbao, “Angela,” as the Spanish redo is known, is produced by Buendía Estudios Vizcaya with the participation of Atresmedia TV.
An original idea of the Williams’ Two Brothers Pictures, “Angela Black’s” international distribution is handled by All3Media International.
Buendía Estudios is behind “Veneno,” “Cardo” and “The Cook of Castamar.” “Angela” is directed by Norberto López Amado, who has helmed episodes on some of the biggest hits on Spanish TV in the last 10 years, such as “The Time in Between” and “El Príncipe” as well as two episodes of “Liar.”

Twice Oscar-nominated Bruce Dern and Emmy Award-winning Brian Cox (“Nuremberg”) are attached to star in Martin Rosete’s “Remember Me,” which will go into production on Aug. 24, shooting in Spain, France and Los Angeles.
“It is without a doubt the most unique love story ever put on the screen,” Dern told Variety.
A co-production between the U.S.’ Create Entertainment, Spain’s Lazona Films and Kamel Films, and France’s F Comme Film, key cast also includes Caroline Silhol (“La Vie en rose”) and Brandon Larracuente (“13 Reasons Why”).
A “quirky romantic comedy,” according to Rosete, “Remember Me” turns on Claude (Dern), a 70-year-old widower and former theater and cinema reviewer who learns that the love of his life, Lilian (Silhol), is in a senior home going through difficult times without anybody looking after her. With the help of his best friend Shane (Cox), Claude decides to fake Alzheimer’s...

Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, slated to open in mid-December, will be the first major feature to be screened at 48 frames per second. Both Mike Bracken (Movies.com) and Carolyn Giardina (Hollywood Reporter) wonder just how many theaters will be able to handle the High Frame Rate Jackson and James Cameron have been promoting.

"How Much Does Your Building Weigh, Mr Foster?, an admiring documentary about the British architect Norman Foster, by Norberto López Amado and Carlos Carcas, gives the viewer quite a lot to marvel at, which is, after all, the root meaning of the word 'admire,'" begins Ao Scott in the New York Times. "Accompanied by Joan Valent's pulsing, soaring score, the camera swoops over some of Mr Foster's largest and best-known structures and floats through the bright and airy interiors of his skyscrapers. Even before you hear Paul Goldberger (a former architecture critic for The New York Times, currently at The New Yorker) describe Mr Foster as 'the Mozart of Modernism,' you can appreciate the grace and harmony of his compositions in glass, steel and light."

Tangled (PG)
(Nathan Greno, Byron Howard, 2010, Us) Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi, Donna Murphy, Ron Perlman. 100 mins
Disney's animation formula might be 50 movies old, but after a thorough 21st-century overhaul it sparkles anew here. The classical elements are present and correct: rejigged fairytale (Rapunzel), musical numbers, expressive animals, problematic mother-daughter dynamic. But the animation is bright, the comedy tight, and the dialogue high-school-friendly. It's like Shrek without the irony, which is kind of refreshing. Little to challenge the status quo (or Pixar), maybe, but it does feature a great comedy horse.
Barney's Version (15)
(Richard J Lewis, 2010, Us) Paul Giamatti, Rosamund Pike, Dustin Hoffman. 134 mins
Giamatti was made to play this comically disgraceful antihero – a boozy, philandering New York Jewish sleazeball/charmer – whose belief in romance shapes his unreliably narrated life, even as it ruins those of others.

Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: I celebrate all levels of trailers and hopefully this column will satisfactorily give you a baseline of what beta wave I’m operating on, because what better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising? Some of the best authors will tell you that writing a short story is a lot harder than writing a long one, that you have to weigh every sentence. What better medium to see how this theory plays itself out beyond that than with movie trailers? Nostalgia de la luz (Nostalgia for the Light) Trailer For all the blowhardy things I say about what makes this trailer a good one or...

[Editor's note: I've asked our team of world film correspondents to dish out their top 5 films of the year from their respective countries. Here's Mario Balarezo del Caz's take on the Best in Spanish Cinema in 2010.] Like in any given year, it's always a difficult task to come up with a Top 5 films, but among the Spanish films that were rolled out domestically I won't be including such items as "Biutiful" or “Balada Triste de Trompeta”, mainly because even if those have gathered some recognition internationally, in my opinion, these were flawed and irregular works from their respective directors. While Alejandro González Iñárritu's drama's only saving grace might be Javier Bardem´s acting, the rest of the film suffers from a jaded structure that seems only the skilled hands of Guillermo Arriaga could have made effective and the same goes for Álex de la Iglesia's film where majestic sequences are overtly ridiculous at times, I saw it as a bad mismatch blending of the genres. Here are my top 5 of the year. #5. HéroesA quality guilty pleasure. An homage to the teen American films of...

Filmmakers Norberto López-Amado and Carlos Carcas release their documentary on the British architect.
There's a new architecture documentary of Norman Foster out, adding the British architect to the movie-star ranks of Rem Koolhaas, Frank Gehry, and Louis Kahn. From the looks of it, though, it's closer to The Third and the Seventh--beautiful, sure, with slow, majestic panning shots, but oh so deadly serious. Is that a problem?
Directed by Norberto López-Amado and Carlos Carcas, How Much Does Your Building Weigh, Mr. Foster? is the first feature-length film produced by the art consultants at Art Commissioners. Watch the clips on the filmmakers' Web site (scroll down). It's soundtracked like a tear-jerker with swelling orchestras and ambiguous choral vocals. When architects appear (it's mostly their buildings), there's a lot of somber nodding and meaningful hand gestures. In one clip, over a crescendo of thrumming strings and a slow pan around and up the Gherkin,...

NALA Films has tapped Norberto Lopez Amado, who helmed the Spanish hit They're Watching Us (Nos Miran), to direct Night of Light. The film is a supernatural horror that centers on a man who was orphaned and raised by two priests. He goes to a small town with them to assist in what he thinks in an exorcism in the town. But a strange turn of events follows. The news follows NALA's recent signing of Columbian director Simon Brand for the film adaptation of La Magdalena in its efforts to develop a new creative platform for young Latin-American directors.
