Forget Terrence Malick. I’m almost at the point where I no longer care when his next few films, which he’s simultaneously working on, are coming out. PINNLAND EMPIRE favorite Abel Ferrara has been quite busy these days too. How has he not been getting the same kind of press/buzz as Malick? He’s been just as busy. Even before the release of Ferrara’s upcoming film; Welcome To New York (a story based on the Dominique Strauss-Kahn sexual assault case, starring Gerard Depardieu), we’re already getting stills from his next project about the last day of Pier Paolo Passolini with Willem Dafoe in the title role.
A few years ago during a Ferrara retrospective at Anthology Film archives he spoke about this Passolini project while it was still in its infancy. It’s really great to see it come to life.
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m pretty excited…

HEY! In a strange twist of fate, I ended up quickly meeting Willem Dafoe the other night while watching Nymphomaniac: Part 1. Nice guy...
