English screenwriter, film director, and novelist, Terence Davies is said to be developing a new feature film, which will be shot in Jamaica.
No details have been provided about the new project but the 77 filmmaker behind ‘Distant Voices, Still Lives‘ and ‘The Day Closes‘ is working with EMU Films on new script, which he admitted may take the crew to Jamaica for filming.
Davies has said that the first draft of the new script has been completed and the team is now starting to make approaches to lead cast. No other details were given.
Davies’ last few films, some of which were rejected by Venice and Cannes, but wholly embraced by New York Film Festival include ‘A Quiet Passion‘, ‘Benediction‘ and ‘The Deep Blue Sea‘.
Commenting on the news on World of Reel blog, which gives news on existing and upcoming films, one commentator Techngro wrote, “I hope it’s a sequel to ‘Marked for Death‘. Where we find out that Screwface was actually triplets. ‘Mark for Death‘ (sic) is a box office film starring Steven Seagal, which is based on a DEA agent pursing a Jamaican gang from Illinois trailing them back to the streets of Kingston, Jamaica.”
The movie also features soundtracks from Jamaica’s reggae music legend, Jimmy Cliff. Another commentator, Horseman at Dawn, wrote, “curious to see what he will make on Jamaica. His work is wonderful.”
