Andrey Zvyagintsev, the two-time Oscar-nominated Russian filmmaker of “Loveless” and “Leviathan,” will next direct “Jupiter,” a politically-minded movie set to shoot in Spain and France next spring.
The movie will tell the story of a Russian oligarch’s reckoning with the harsh reality of his family’s future.
Anonymous Content and Lorem Ipsum Entertainment (“War on Everyone”) are producing “Jupiter” alongside Les Films du Losange (“A Silence”) in France and Elastica Films (“Anatomy of a Fall”) in Spain. Zvyagintsev will reteam with his regular crew, including cinemtographer Mikhail Krichman and production designer Andrey Ponkratov, who worked “Loveless” and “Leviathan.”
“Jupiter” is set in the seemingly impenetrable world of the ultra-wealthy and is being described by the producers as an “unrelenting exploration of power and corruption.”
Zvyagintsev said “Jupiter” will be a “very modern story” which “goes beyond today’s political context.” “The nature of absolute power is a universal theme,...

The Pride distributor is now entirely owned by Lorem Ipsum. Carol will be its next release in the territory.
New York-based media company Lorem Ipsum Corp has acquired 100% of Russian distributor Arthouse.
The Us outfit, which previously held 50% of the distributor, has purchased the remaining 50% from Arthouse co-founder Sam Klebanov, who will leave the company.
Arthouse specialises in distributing foreign and independent films, and released British Lgbt title Pride last year.
The company’s next film will be Oscar-nominated lesbian drama Carol, which it will release despite Russia’s apparent laws against “gay propaganda”.
Arthouse has also made two new hires: Evgeny Pivovarov, co-founder of Russian distributor All Media, joins as managing director, while Elena Mironchik, previously of Bazelevs Distribution and Caravella, joins as head of theatrical distribution.
Co-founder Yan Vizinberg will remain Arthouse’s CEO.

Distributor says release of the gay drama will prove “a huge challenge”.
Russian distributor Arthouse has picked up Todd Haynes’ Carol but anticipates challenges over its release due to the film’s central relationship between two women.
”Carol is no doubt the main film event of this year, and definitely the most exciting love story to hit the screen recently,” said Yan Vizinberg, co-founder and CEO of Arthouse and its Us-based parent company Lorem Ipsum Corp.
“It’s a dream for everyone at Arthouse to be releasing this film in Russia. It’s also a huge challenge because of the federal ‘gay propaganda’ law that victimizes the Russian Lgbt community.
“Carol is rated R in the Us, but in Russia the film will certainly be assigned an 18+ age rating due to these laws.”
The film, which debuted at Cannes, stars Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara, and leads the upcoming Golden Globes with five nominations.

Screen spoke to Russian distributor Arthouse, which has pushed through Pride’s release despite marketing challenges.
Following this week’s Russian premiere of Pride, the British film that tells the story of Lgbt support for the 1984 miners’ strike, the film’s local distributor Arthouse has warned ScreenDaily that the country’s anti-gay propaganda law is “rolling Russia back to the dark ages”.
In 2013, the Russian legislature outlawed “propaganda” promoting “non-traditional sexual relations” and in the process restricted any films containing same-sex content to audiences over the age of 18.
Pride received an 18+ certificate in Russia, the equivalent to an Nc-17 in the USA, meaning that no one under the age of 18 can attend a screening of the film.
Arthouse CEO Yan Vizinberg told ScreenDaily that there exists a “conspiracy of silence” among federal channels, and that there is “currently huge interest in the gay rights issue in Russia” and that the film needed releasing because it “resonates with the...

Whoa! This movie has completely caught me off guard and I'm usually up on my movies. Cargo comes from Persona Films and is directed by Yan Vizinberg. The foreign film's cast includes Natasha Rinis, Sayed Badreya and Philip Willingham and tells the story about a "young Russian woman, smuggled into America by human traffickers, and a notorious Egyptian transporter, hired to drive her from the Mexican border to New York City, form an unlikely bond that threatens to derail the traffickers’ plans".
This looks good simply judging by the plot and the cool-ass poster and images they have, looks like this poor girl goes through a lot. Be sure to visit Cargo on Facebook.
