Directly after the Sundance labs in June, Durkin got ready on his feature length film debut titled, Martha Marcy May Marlene. The make-up of the cast has been revealed, with Borderline entrusting the film's lead to Elizabeth Olsen and filling out the cast we find: indie vet John Hawkes (who shifts to Soderbergh's Contagion next), Sarah Paulson (mostly television work but also in The Spirit), Hugh Dancy (most recently from My Idiot Brother - which we'll see next year) and Brady Corbet.

Cool It is heading to TIFF next week, and the producers behind Ondi Timoner's latest documentary film won't have to sign a deal in the wee small hours in the morning, as Roadside Attractions have preemptively grabbed the rights to the "eco-docu" and are setting it with an eventual Fall release.

For the remainder of the 2010 film year, you might have a trio of possibilities to see actress Jessica Chastain in action. There's the Terrence Malick film that the the whole world is waiting for, there's John Madden's The Debt (a late December release) and finally, eOne has saved Dan Ireland’s Jolene from obscurity.

Currently promoting Centurion, which receives it theatrical release in the U.S today, Neil Marshall isn't wasting much time "cooking" up his next project. Titled Underground, no this is not a remake of Emir Kusturica's 1995 film, this is based on a David Cohen script that would probably make chef Anthony Bourdain feel queasy.

Chris Rock, who already has a penchant for Euro cinema (he adapted the Rohmer film which gave us I Think I Love My Wife) will get to ask his director and co-lead Julie Delpy about working with the likes of Leos Carax, Schlöndorff and Krzysztof Kieslowski. Rock has been cast to play the American boyfriend role in the sequel to Delpy's 2 Days in Paris.

Thanks to an IONCINEMA.com reader, we've got your first glimpse into the look and feel for Stuck Between Stations - a low budget romantic drama by Brady Kiernan (see below), a first time helmer we featured in our American New Wave 25 series.

Andrew Jarecki's All Good Things - a dramatic murder mystery that was supposed to be released by the Weinsteins and finally boomeranged back to into the filmmaker's hands, will be distributed by Magnolia Pictures.

Mentioned very briefly only two weeks back, we have some major casting news that was announced late yesterday. Nick Cassavetes' will be counting on some familiar faces, casting his mother (Gena Rowlands) and Ben Foster and will most likely throw this trio (Sienna Miller, Lucy Punch, Melanie Griffith) under the bus in Yellow.

What's cool about Pitchfork's best 50 videos countdown from the 90's are seeing how some of the least obvious names cut their teeth on music videos -- some became full fledged members of the filmmaking community, while some are still in the cross over stages.

Richard Linklater filmed in the U.K. Jim Jarmusch made his last in Spain. And John Sayles, we'll he went completely off-course, heading of all places to Manilla. As I was putting this piece together collection of stills, I came across this post, which uncovered the production's blog, trailer and what not. I'll admit to having skipped on Honeydripper - which was also a TIFF presentation, I had no idea that since then, he was working on Amigo, which was first announced as a San Sebastian Film Festival selection, prior to being called out last Tuesday for TIFF.

The New York-based duo behind Visit Films -- the International Sales Agents responsible for such films The Myth of the American Sleepover, The Taqwacores, Trash Humpers, The Freebie and Aaron Katz's Cold Weather, are getting into the distribution game with the newly launched division called Baxter Brothers Film Releasing.

Couple of days ago we showed you this still of Shannyn Sossamon, and now we've got the full synopsis and a batch of new images for Monte Hellman's Road to Nowhere (Venice Film Festival Main Competition). Shot in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, the West End of London, Lago di Garda in Northern Italy, the ancient parts of Rome and Hellman's own living room, reading from the film's press kit, this promises to be a twisty, turny item with Sossamon's character borrowing certain doppelganger-like features.

Here's a collection of paparazzi, normal folk shot and press conference photo odds & ends on projects that we're already keeping close tabs on. Not sure if I'm going to make this a regular feature on the site, perhaps an infrequent Friday visual update. In descending order we have Sarah Polley giving direction to Sarah Silverman who plays Geraldine -- a probable BFF to Michelle Williams romantically involved character in Talk this Waltz.

Indie helmer Alex Steyermark is setting Kyle Gallner (upcoming Elgin James' Little Birds) with an electric guitar in Loser Take All, a postcard to an era where grassroots promoting of garage bands didn't come about with a myspace page, and when the indie rock landscape was bands such as Sonic Youth, Black Flag and Minor Threat.

We've got your first look at Juno Temple, Milla Jovovich, Mary Steenburgen and Willam H. Macy in Abe Sylvia's Dirty Girl. If it hasn't been so far named for TIFF, then we can assume that this FTW road trip comedy is headed to Sundance, basically setting up cinephiles for a full year of Juno Temple.

In Venice this year, there's the more "known" tale of rivalry between young females in Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan and then we have an additional, lesser-known girls "backstabbing one another" with Monte Hellman's Road to Nowhere.

It's difficult to contain my excitement for the loads of must see titles in this fall festival movie-going season and perched high above the titles without domestic distribution deals already in place, we have Kelly Reichardt's Meek's Cutoff.

Not sure what the status is on A Single Shot -- an ensemble crime set to star Michael Fassbender, Forest Whitaker, William H. Macy and Thomas Haden Church and set to film in Ontario sometime this summer, but it looks like helmer Jacob Davidson (best known for Down in the Valley) can count on his producer who produce his debut film Dahmer to possibly fit him with his next project -- which by all accounts appears to be a verbally interesting shouting match.

Dana Adam Shapiro blasted onto the scene with Murderball, a Sundance doc about fear-less wheelchair warriors consumed by a modified full-contact sport of rugby. His first narrative feature film Monogamy, which just got picked up by Oscilloscope Laboratories, is described as a cautionary tale about sex, photography, and fear of marriage.

Daryl Wein and Zoe Lister-Jones who just sold Lola Versus with Anne Hathaway attached, then successfully pitched another rom com going by what will be a fun title to market in Motherf***er.
