Martin Scorsese Joins ‘Evolution’ As Exec Producer

Martin Scorsese is joining Kornél Mundruczó’s Cannes title Evolution as an executive producer. This marks his second collaboration with the filmmaker and screenwriter Kata Wéber after Oscar nominee Pieces Of A Woman. “Every new movie by Mundruczó and Wéber comes as a welcome shock to the senses for the viewer and for the filmmaker – they never stop advancing into uncharted territory. With Evolution, they find a way to dramatize the movement of time itself, the ways that we remember and the ways that we forget,” said Scorsese. The pic, which explores a family’s experiences from World War II to present-day Berlin, had its world premiere at on the Croisette earlier this year. It stars Lili Monori (Delta), Annamária Láng (Nothing Really Happened), Goya Rego, Padmé Hamdemir and Jule Böwe (The Silence). The movie is produced by Viola Fügen, Michael Weber and Viktória Petrányi,...

On The Road...

We have an exclusive clip from The Silence, opening in theaters today. Baran bo Odar directs this new crime thriller about a missing young girl, whose bicycle is discovered in the exact same spot where another girl died 23 years earlier. Is it a coincidence? Peer Sommer (Ulrich Thomsen) certainly seems to think so in this scene where the body is discovered.

The Silence - Exclusive A Coincidence

The Silence was released March 8th, 2013 and stars Ulrich Thomsen, Wotan Wilke Möhring, Katrin Saß, Sebastian Blomberg, Burghart Klaußner, Karoline Eichhorn, Roeland Wiesnekker, Jule Böwe. The film is directed by Baran bo Odar.

A retired investigator is called back onto the job in director Baran bo Odar's thriller The Silence, which follows two cases that have eerily similar connections. The story centers on a 13-year-old girl who goes missing in the same spot where, 23 years prior, a young girl was savagely murdered, a case that still remains unsolved. Krischan (Burghart Klau&#223ner), the original investigator assigned to the case, comes out of retirement to try and unravel this bizarre mystery. Music Box Films has unveiled the first trailer and poster for this gripping nail-biter that will have you on the edge of your seat when it debuts in theaters March 8.
