Surely we'll get some scoop about this in Cannes since Kirsten will most likely be there for Melancholia.  ;DFrom what I heard, the budget for this is now up to $60 million (again, some French websites reported this). Even considering UD has crazy SPFX stuff, pouring so much money into a 'Indie' film is still unusual, don't you think?

Yes as I've said before it seems a very big gamble to be spending so much on a film of this type.

Info at Cannes? I guess so although I doubt if Kirsten has any more idea than we do about when the film is likely to be released.

Jim Sturgess has revealed his upcoming film, Upside Down, is "bizarre".

The One Day star takes the lead as Adam alongside Kirsten Dunst's Eve in the movie by Juan Diego Solanas.

"It's a crazy movie, it's bizarre. It's really hard to describe without being able to see any visual references," he said.

"It's a very visual film, dreamt up by this amazing Argentinian director called Juan Diego Solanas, who basically had a dream about these two people from two other worlds.

"It's not set in the future so it's not a sci-fi space movie. But it is set in an alternative possibility of life, where these two worlds are on top of each other. It's about the love story of the two people in the two different worlds, where gravity gets in the way."

The upside down kiss! Guess what it reminds me of?
Anyway, the visual is indeed stunning. Hopefully it'll find more distributors soon.
