ERIQ EBOUANEY & CARICE VAN HOUTEN
ARE BOTH CONFIRMED AS MEMBERS OF 'DOMINO' CAST


It has been confirmed that Carice van Houten has taken on the role in Brian De Palma's Domino that was previously to be played by Christina Hendricks. We've also been seeing pictures of Eriq Ebouaney (!) hanging around the Domino set, and he is confirmed as a co-star, as well. Deadline's Patrick Hipes posted the news today, with a quote from Van Houten included:
EXCLUSIVE: Carice van Houten is teaming with fellow Game Of Thrones regular Nikolaj Coster-Waldau to star in Domino, the suspense thriller from Brian De Palma penned by Kon-Tiki scribe Petter Skavlan. Production got underway this month and will travel to locations in Belgium, Spain, Denmark and The Netherlands befitting its international auspices.

Coster-Waldau and van Houten now star as police officers who go rogue while tracking down the killer of their police partner who was murdered in the line of duty. As they cross a Europe shaken by ongoing multiple terror attacks, the pair will discover troubling links between the man they are chasing and a CIA operative on the trail of the ISIS cell behind the attacks. Eriq Ebouaney co-stars. Christina Hendricks had been attached to van Houten’s role.

“I am delighted to join the cast of Domino; it’s a privilege to be working with such an iconic director,” the Dutch-born van Houten said. “And who knew that Jamie Lannister and Melisandre would meet outside Westeros?”


Other actors we know of who have parts in Domino: Ibrahim Ibnou Goush (who posted the selfie seen above, with Ebouaney and Mohammed Azaay), Thomas Gabrielsson, Bouzan Hadawi, Younes Bachir, Jan De Hul, Ella-June Henrard, Sachli Gholamalizad, and Adi Cojocaru (very small role as an assistant).

'DOMINO' FILMED AT OELEGEM WINDMILL MONDAY
AS CARICE VAN HOUTEN APPEARS TO HAVE REPLACED CHRISTINA HENDRICKS


Gazet Van Antwerpen published the above photo, along with five others, from Oelegem, where Brian De Palma and company shot scenes for Domino at the windmill there. The image shows De Palma directing Nikolaj Coster-Waldau on a park bench, but the woman Coster-Waldau is sitting next to does not seem to be Christina Hendricks. Ward Verrijcken, a movie reporter for Belgian public broadcaster VRT, tweeted early this morning that Hendricks has been replaced by Carice van Houten, who also appears on Game Of Thrones along with Coster-Waldau. Of course, Van Houten initially caught most of our attention as the lead in Paul Verhoeven's excellent Black Book in 2006, which is "the most commercially successful Dutch film to date," according to Wikipedia. A few years ago, De Palma had originally cast Van Houten as Isabelle in Passion, but she had to drop out as she was unavailable during the planned shooting schedule. Noomi Rapace then took on that role.

An Instagram post by Adi Cojocaru (below), showing an "it's a wrap" moment on a Domino police station set, appears to confirm Verrijcken's tweet with its hashtags:

Meanwhile, here is a Google-assisted English translation of most of the Gazet article by Kristin Matthyssen:

Ranst - Brian De Palma, the American director who worked with top actors like Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, filmed the windmill in Oelegem on Monday, June 26 for his new movie Domino.

Among other actors, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, known from Game of Thrones, was present. The crew had already brought its material itself, from bench to trash cans.

The owner of the mill, the municipality of Ranst, had been informed for a long time. Molenaar Luc Verachtert was also informed. He had been instructed to wind the windmill all the way up and adhere to strict confidentiality. He had to turn the wings Monday.

The volunteers from the historical association De Brakken in Oelegem, who manage the mill, are proud that Brian De Palma chose their mill. "We do not know why, but it would be cool if our Oelegem mill was to be seen in cinemas all over the world, even if it's only a few seconds."

De Palma drove down with small trucks, vans and a caravan. He stayed the whole afternoon and evening watching three scenes, the arrival of a car at the mill to a scene on a picnic bench in front of the mill. The area was shielded, although people could still sit on the terrace of the tavern near the mill. At 22:00 the area was restored. News of the high visit spread like a running fire. Some people came looking to catch a glimpse of the stars.

VIDEO LINK - 'DOMINO' TO FILM IN BAKER'S HOME
AFTER DE PALMA & CREW VISIT THE MAN'S BAKERY


A video report posted yesterday by ATV's Walter Schrooten interviews a baker from Borgenhout, who met Brian De Palma when the director and his crew visited the bakery. "A world-renowned American film director," states the article introducing the video, "who enters a Borgerhout bakery and decides to include a part of his movie in that man's living room. That was Brian De Palma, who is here for his new movie Domino. The film is based on the background of terror attacks in Europe. We went to take a look in the bakery's living room, which will be filmed tomorrow."

In the video, the baker explains, "Brian De Palma has been here with his people. They have seen that the house was big. And I agreed, I gave them the house to make the movie." When Schrooten asks whether he met De Palma, the baker replies, "Yeah ... Himself yes, they have been here. And now we have an appointment tomorrow. Then they are back here." The baker continues, "The store is open, but if they want me to close then that's not a problem. That's no problem for me."
