Featuring extended underwater sequences and a look into the affairs of treasure hunting. Head over to NYT to check out the rest of the profile, which also touches on the competing Lovelace biopic Inferno. A pair of young vacationers are involved in a dangerous conflict with treasure hunters when they discover a way into a deadly wreck in Bermuda waters. More often than not, this will be a thumbnail on imdb, a Fandango listing, a festival program or a blurb online for a press release. A new trailer and poster have been released for the romantic drama, A Week in Paradise, starring Malin Akerman, Connie Nielsen, Philip Winchester, and Jack Donnelly.The film is directed by the French filmmaker Philippe Martinez (Citizen Verdict, Mister Mayfair, A Song to Kill For), from the screenplay written by Kate Wood.

‘They read it,’ said Heidi Jo Markel, a Lovelace producer, ‘and they said, ‘I wouldn’t give it to our actor, because he’d do it, and we’re scared.’ ” “Casting proved an overall challenge for Lovelace: women were concerned about the nudity and the brutality, while the agents of male performers withheld the script, written by Andy Bellin, from their clients.
The biopic is described in the New York Times piece as “a blend of the studied naïveté of Paul Thomas Anderson’s Boogie Nights with the gravity of a real-life story.” The story will reportedly evolve in tone as it covers Lovelace’s “ascent, decline and ’80s-era redemption.” The tone appears to be quite dark, as is evident by this bit on the difficulty of casting the pic: While we know the film chronicles Lovelace’s life, details as to what the film would entail have been murky.
