First photos from some of the upcoming period set movies this Monday, starting with Stanley Tucci's FINAL PORTRAIT, a drama which he wrote and also directed, out in cinemas this August in UK and Germany. Geoffrey Rush plays Swiss painter and sculptor Alberto Giacometti who, back in Paris, 1964, bumps into his old friend, the American critic, James Lord (Armie Hammer), and begs that he sits for a portrait because he has an interesting face. It'll just take a couple of days in his studio. Lord is flattered by the request and as the days go by and turn into weeks and weeks seemingly with no end in sight he realises his entire life has been hijacked by this erratic genius. The portrait continues to ebb and flow. Veering between frustration and joy, Lord ultimately sees logic in the artist's chaotic mind and together we witness a genius complete one of his last masterpieces.

greet them. The winch is broken. A call. Nothing. Experienced keepers

refilled; the table is laid for dinner. There is an upturned chair. Two
sets of yellow oilskins are missing. The men were never found. Peter
Mullan also stars.

'BLACK BUTTERFLY' TRAILER
JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS VS ANTONIO BANDERAS
Only a week ago I showed you a poster for the remake of French
thriller Papillon Noir by Herve Korian now titled BLACK BUTTERFLY and now we have the first, very thrilling, trailer as well.
Antonio Banderas plays Paul, a down on his luck screenwriter who picks
up a drifter (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and offers him a place to stay.
However, when the deranged stranger takes Paul hostage and forces him to
write, their unhinged relationship brings buried secrets to light.
Piper Perabo and Abel Ferrara also star in the movie which is out
sometime later this year.
