REMAKE OF CORNEAU'S CRIME D'AMOUR WILL BE SET IN THE U.K., START SHOOT IN AUGUST

"MOVIES OF THIS KIND ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO MAKE TODAY IN THE U.S."
Hopewell's article continues:
"Passion" adds to the U.S. talent that is currently signing on to film or TV projects financed and often produced out of Europe.
Ben Said said he was willing to discuss financing with a Hollywood studio, but thought it more likely he would produce English-language European movies with top-notch American directors without recourse to U.S. finance.
"As with Roman Polanski's 'God of Carnage,' we can use a European film model and all its support systems, set up co-productions and find the money to make it," said Ben Said. "Movies of this kind are very difficult to make today in the U.S. because the U.S. doesn't have co-productions and the studios are not interested in making them."
"Carnage" has sold worldwide except for the U.S. and Japan.
Crime d'amour has been described by some American critics as Dangerous Liaisons meets Working Girl.
