Stone (2010)

About the film . . .

• Release date: Fall 2010

• Official synopsis: A ruthless convict (Edward Norton) engages in a series of disturbing mental games with his corrections officer (Robert De Niro) in an attempt to gain parole. When the officer begins an affair with the convict's wife (Milla), it soon becomes clear that both the convict and officer's motivations are suspect, provoking a dangerous ordeal.

• About getting her role in Stone (Maxim (US) September 2009): "Yes, I just finished filming that. It was such an incredible project, and I was so happy to get it. I worked really hard for the part. I had to do some really intense auditioning with Edward and Bob. Then when I got the part, I literally started crying. People ask, 'What are some of the high points of your life?' Number one would have to be the birth of my daughter, but number two would be this movie."

• From Milla's interview with ShockTillYouDrop.com (August 6, 2009): "It's a psychological drama. I think they're trying to sell it as a thriller 'cause it's easier to sell, but it's not much of like a mystery or whodunit or a chase sequence or anything like that. It's pretty much a story about people that in a sense are living their lives and how truthfully can you live your life? In a sense, that if you live a life, you could live a life for many years, but at some point your world is going to explode around you so it's pretty intense."

• From Screen (May 17, 2009): Milla Jovovich has joined Robert De Niro and Edward Norton on the cast of Mimran Schur Pictures' thriller Stone. Nu Image has started pre-selling the film, which is due to start shooting tomorrow (May 18), in Cannes. It is being shot in Michigan.

  Jovovich will play the wife of a convicted arsonist (Norton) who is deployed in a psychological game of cat-and-mouse with his parole officer (De Niro).

  John Curran, who previously directed Norton in The Painted Veil, is directing from Angus Maclachlan's script. Jovovich will next be seen in A Perfect Getaway (August 7, 2009) and The 4th Kind (2009).
