There has been a lot talk about Ondine for the way it was shot and the whole look of the film. I have been a big fan of Colin Farrell for sometime now. So it will be interesting to see him in a role like this.

Colin Farrell plays an Irish fisherman and recovering alcoholic who discovers a woman in his fishing net who he believes to be a mermaid. It is a dreamy romantic sort of film with a twist ending. But the whole premise works beautifully in its favor. The film is being shot by Christopher Doyle.

Doyle is known for his work on the Wong Kar Wai movies and the recent Gus Van Sant movie called PArnoid Park. The score for the film was done by Sigur Ros who really gave the film something special.

Magnolia Pictures has acquired this small gem and it is expected a June 4 th release. The trailer features some not so good music but it will be much better to check it out on the big screen.

After a heady year last year with a string of nominations in most of her films, Kate Winsletseems to quite down a bit. She has jumped on board an interesting project. She will play the narrator in autism documentary called the Sunshine boy.

The project is a pet project of Frotier Filmworks producer Margret Dagmar Ericsdottir of her difficulties in trying to come to terms with her son’s condition.

“I am delighted and honoured that Kate agreed to do the narration,” Ericsdottir said. “Her contribution plays an instrumental role in increasing awareness for autism, which many claim is the world’s fastest-growing epidemic.”

The film will be directed by Fridrik Thor Fridriksson. His idea is to understand the full scope of this condition. The film will be a first person account by Ericsdottir who travels around and consults some of the leading experts on the disease. There have also been some other interesting contributions to the movie in the form of music. Bjork and Sigur Ros, whose growing fan base, will be exited to know that they are featured on the soundtrack.

The Sunshine Boy will have its world premiere in Toronto on September 12. Here is hoping most of you guys take some interest in the film with the addition of Winslet into the narration. Wait to go girl.
