Olga Kurylenko in Chief Of Station
If you don’t know her name, you almost certainly know her face. Ever since 2008’s Quantum Of Solace, in which she managed to stand out alongside James Bond, Ukrainian-born Olga Kurylenko has been making a big impression. A former model, she has an instinctive approach to acting which has served her well in the likes of To The Wonder, The Water Diviner, Mara, The Translators and The Bay Of Silence. She’s also made a name for herself as an action performer – “A lot of people somehow call me back to do action. I wonder why,” she says, laughing – and now she’s hitting screens in her latest thriller, Chief Of Station, alongside Aaron Eckhart.
“I get lots of action propositions and I do say no to a lot, but certain things I do say yes, and for very different reasons,” she says.

Writer/director Jesse V. Johnson opens his latest film, Boudica, on an impressive note. Roman soldiers march through a dark, fog-enshrouded, forest. It’s creepy and ominous as if something unseen is waiting for them. And there is, a group of Druids who kneel, chanting in a clearing. The warrior goddess they hoped to summon doesn’t save them and the legion graphically slaughters them.
Meanwhile, in Britania’s Icini Province, Prasutagus rules alongside his queen, Boudica. Despite having to deal with the Roman occupiers life is good for them and their daughters Bre (Lilibet Butanaseva) and Aife (Litiana Butanaseva; On the Morning You Wake (to the End of the World), The Bay of Silence, The Wheel of Time, Kiddyzuzaa).

Claes Bang and Olga Kurylenko in The Bay Of Silence
A mysterious disappearance. A terrible loss. A secret buried somewhere deep in the past. The Bay Of Silence offers plenty to intrigue fans of psychological thrillers. It stars Olga Kurylenko as troubled mother Rosalind and Claes Bang as her devoted husband, Will, and was adapted from Lisa St Aubin de Terán’s novel by actress Caroline Goodall, who gave me a call from Croatia, where she’s currently filming, to talk about the story and her admiration for director Paula van der Oest.
“When I was writing, I didn't have any director in mind, particularly,” she begins.” I was just keen to write the story, and see if I can get to the end. And it made sense. But Paula came on board in April 2018, just as we were starting to find finance. I had met her a year before in Los Angeles,...

Ahead of the release of the UK release of the dark psychological thriller The Bay of Silence on September 28th, Caroline Goodall talks Hollywood influences and the mental health issues that drew her to write and produce her first feature film.
Why did you choose to become an actor?
Performing was my freedom. I had a childhood stutter but it disappeared when I pretended to be someone else, so acting freed me from the stutterer’s crippling shyness. I desperately wanted to be an actress, but I had no clue how to go about it as a career as my family weren’t in the business, though they loved the theatre. So, I thought if I took every opportunity maybe I’d find my way. I joined the National Youth Theatre and then in my last year of school, I was spotted in a school play. I spent the summer...

Exclusive: LA-based Film Bridge International has boarded international sales rights to crime series Big Dogs, which it will begin selling during the Toronto virtual market.
The eight-part series premiered domestically on Amazon Prime in July and stars Brett Cullen (Joker), Manny Perez (The Night Of), Michael Rabe (Homeland), and Lance Henriksen (Falling).
Filmed in New York, the series charts intersecting stories of organized crime, white collar felonies, and police corruption across the city. Creator Adam Dunn of Aurelian Productions based the series on his novels of the same name, writing the episodes in partnership with Tony Glazer of Choice Films.
“It’s time for Big Dogs to go global. I’m excited for this series to be seen by audiences throughout the world,” said Film Bridge’s Ellen Wander. “Fans of crime shows like Breaking Bad will find this well-crafted and meaningful series a more than worthy addition to the genre.

With theaters open in 44 of the 50 states, cinemas are finding something to show — although turnout is still so modest that distributors are still being hesitant about what to release. That means another week in what’s now going on five months of the industry’s pivot to streaming releases, with a fresh batch of respectable lower-profile offerings.
Netflix continues to lead the pack with options, releasing four new features (that we know of), including the superhero-esque movie “Project Power,” a sci-fi thriller about a drug that gives ordinary folks special abilities … for about five minutes. Apple TV Plus paid top dollar at Sundance for “Boys State,” and as soon as you see it, you’ll understand why: The documentary, about a Texas mock-government program for teens, captures all the rowdiness and idealism of the long-running event — offering a virtual glimpse into what can happen when young minds come together in person to share their ideas,...

You may have heard his name uttered by Kanye West or Migos in songs but Martin Margiela isn’t necessarily a household name when it comes to fashion — but it should be. One of the most elusive designers in the fashion industry, there are barely any photos of him on the internet, but his work speaks for itself. In the Oscilloscope documentary, Martin Margiela: In His Own Words, filmmaker Reiner Holzemer takes us behind the scenes of the career of the titular avant-garde.
With the docu, Margiela breaks his no-interview policy and aversion to being in the public eye as Holzemer puts the spotlight on the “Banksy of fashion”. He worked as Jean Paul Gaultier’s assistant and was the creative director at Hermès before he started his own fashion house. For the first time, Margiela reveals his drawings, notes, and personal items in this intimate profile of his vision...

Actor Claes Bang seems to be everywhere lately; the star of the BBC/Netflix Dracula miniseries is best known as Christian from The Square, as well as a turn as Jan Holtser from The Girl in the Spider's Web opposite Clair Foy as Lisbeth Salander. In the new film The Bay of Silence, adapted from the novel of the same name by Lisa St. Aubin de Teran, Bang stars as Will, a new dad, husband, and step-father. He's married to Rosaline, played by Olga Kurlyenko, and unfortunately, Rosalind has some serious issues that she choose not to disclose to her husband, namely schizophrenia, which can be a destructive mental illness if not treated properly. I'm not sure what happens in the novel (novels...

If Claes Bang didn’t exist so suavely before our eyes, you’d say they don’t make movie stars like him any more: debonair, mature but with sparky wit, and possessed of a flexible accent that is at once evasive and distinctly European. Since breaking out aged 50 in Rubin Östlund’s “The Square,” he could have exclusively cashed in his raised profile on the kind of generically “foreign” villain parts and Europudding filler that tend to await such actors these days, yet he seems to be finding throwback vehicles to match his elegantly out-of-time stardom. First came the slippery, well-dressed art-scene noir “The Burnt Orange Heresy” and World War 2 counterfeiting drama “The Last Vermeer”; now, in a comparably neo-Hitchcockian vein, comes “The Bay of Silence,” in which his coolly compelling man-adrift charisma — backed by sturdy support from Olga Kurylenko and Brian Cox — keeps a splintering mystery together.

Dutch director Paula van der Oest, whose 2001 rom-com Zus & Zo was nominated for what was then called the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, has gone on in the two decades since to carve out a respectable career with well-received thrillers and romantic dramas.

‘The Bay Of Silence’ Trailer: Claes Bang & Olga Kurylenko Go A Bit Mad In Their New Countryside Home
Does anything good happen when a seemingly happy couple moves into a beautiful home in the countryside? If films are anything to base your ideas off of, every time someone buys a new home, it’s either haunted and/or brings nothing but misery to its new occupants. And though “The Bay of Silence” isn’t a horror film, in the strictest sense of the word, the new thriller is pretty terrifying as it shows a couple’s fight with trauma, secrets, and lies.
