BUCK SET TO SHOOT SISTERS
Filmmaker Doug Buck, who has won praise and notoriety for his grueling short movies, gave Fango an update on his first feature, a remake of Brian De Palmas 1973 shocker SISTERS. ‘After a series of delays, which were the result of some rights issues that popped up, were now moving forward on the second draft of the script,’ Buck tells us. ‘Were looking to go into production on SISTERS in the spring of next year in Montreal.’
Of his approach to remaking De Palmas movie, starring Margot Kidder as Siamese twinsone of whom is a murdererBuck says, ‘The original version was a very special film, and there are a lot of different ways you can go with it, which Im very exited about. I plan to be faithful to the original, while imbuing it with some of my own interests and concerns. Ed Pressman and ContentFilm, the producers, were very happy with the first draft, and the new draft will just involve a series of character revisions here and there.’ Pressman and ContentFilms last genre production, LOVE OBJECT, was shot on digital video, but Buck says of SISTERS, ‘Well be shooting on film, for sure. We discussed it, and I fought for film, and thats the way were going to go.’ New York-area fans can catch Bucks previous work, combined into the feature-length FAMILY PORTRAITS: A TRILOGY OF AMERICA, at the Two Boots Pioneer Theater (155 East 3rd Street at Avenue A) October 13-19.
