Production Begins on Jim Jarmusch's The Limits of Control

For those of you who cant get enough of Jim Jarmusch's deadpan indie aesthetic, you're in luck. Variety reports the lo-fi auteurs latest, tentatively titled The Limits of Control, is underway, and features Jarmusch regulars Isaach De Bankole (from Night on Earth and Ghost Dog) and Bill Murray.

 

Focus describes the movie as "the story of a mysterious loner (to be played by Mr. De Bankolé), a stranger, whose activities remain meticulously outside the law. He is in the process of completing a job, yet he trusts no one, and his objectives are not initially divulged." The film is currently in production in Madrid, and also stars Tilda Swinton (hot off her Best Actress Oscar win), Gael Garcia Bernal, and John Hurt. It's the story of a mysterious man in the midst of a criminal plot. Produced by Focus Features, The Limits of Control will be Jarmusch's first film since 2005s Broken Flowers also starring Murray and Swinton.

that'd be coffee and cigarettes. Romance and cigarettes is a musical with Susan Suranden in it.

Either way, this sounds great. I'm looking forward to hearing more about this.
