Argento's next horror pic will be in EnglishJan 17, 2008, ET
ROME -- 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.
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.
