News > Brody Replacing Gallo in Argento's "Giallo"?

A few months ago, it was announced that Dario Argento was planning to make a film called "Giallo," (Italian for "yellow," also meaning pulpy-erotic-horror literature) and that he had cast Vincent Gallo, Ray Liotta, and his daughter Asia Argento into the primary roles. But in a recent article from The Hollywood Reporter, none of those names are mentioned. Instead they report that Adrien Brody will be playing the lead along with actresses Emmanuelle Seigner and Elsa Pataky. Here is the plot description from a few months ago:

"Giallo" will revolve around serial slashings of some very attractive women being investigated by a solitary cop, which Liotta is likely to play, who engages in a cat-and-mouse game with the psychopathic perpetrator, to be played by Gallo.

And now:

"Giallo" revolves around an American flight attendant who teams with an Italian investigator to search for her missing sister who has been abducted by a serial killer known only as Yellow.

It sounds like there are similarities of course, but the central role seems to have shifted characters from the cop to the American flight attendant. We'll let you know if/when the original actors' roles become more certain. Jim Agnew and Sean Keller wrote the screenplay for the master of Italian horror who brought us "Suspiria" and produced George Romero's "Dawn of the Dead."
