I really like David Cronenberg. No, I wasn’t a fan at all of “A History of Violence”, but his other work more than makes up for that. I’ve expecially been quite interested in this new movie he has coming out called “Eastern Promises“. Much like other big directors, he seems to have found his favorite actor to work with in Viggo Mortensen, which isn’t a bad thing.
The synopsis for Easter Promises looks something like this:
“Nikolai (Viggo Mortensen), a man both ruthless and mysterious, has ties to one of London’s most dangerous crime families. Nikolai crosses paths with Anna (Naomi Watts), an innocent midwife, who accidentally uncovers potentially damaging evidence against the family, forcing him to set in motion a plan of murder, deceit and retribution.”
Nice… sounds good to me.
