Malick Movie Confirmed for Oklahoma, Shooting Begins

ROCKVILLE EXCLUSIVE
Terrence Malick's Newest Production Begins Filming in Bartlesville, Oklahoma.
by jhs

Terrence Malick's newest, and still untitled production, long rumored to be shooting in Malick's home town of Bartlesville, Oklahoma has indeed began production.

Malick arrived with a small film crew and actress Olga Kurylenko around 7 p.m. at the Bartlesville Community Center which was hosting Oklahoma's Indian Summer Festival.

Indian Summer is a Bartlesville tradition going on its 23rd year of celebrating Native American heritage. The three day festival focuses on Native American culture and has strong roots in the Bartlesville community.

Festival goers took note of the Redbud Pictures LLC signs throughout the grounds alerting the public of filming. Redbud Pictures was incorporated in Oklahoma and Texas in the spring of 2010. A representative in the Texas Secretary of State's office confirmed Terrence Malick is the manager of Redbud Pictures.

Actress Olga Kurylenko was filmed interlacing with the Indian Summer crowd and was also filmed twirling with a local girl, who's parents were taken aside to sign a release.

Organizers of Indian Summer were overwhelmed Malick chose their yearly festival to be included in his untitled project.

Locals were content to watch Hollywood unfold before them and remained respectful of Malick's film crew while they moved freely, without security, throughout the Indian Summer crowd.

Malick's newest project is rumored to continue filming in Bartlesville, Oklahoma (and the surrounding community) throughout late November.

Malick's project, listed on IMDB.com, is reported to star Rachel McAdams, Ben Affleck, Javier Bardem, Rachel Weisz, and Olga Kurylenko.

Malick has made no formal announcement about his new project and Oklahoma Film and Music cannot confirm the production being filmed in Oklahoma.

Production On Terrence Malick's Untitled Oklahoma-Set Romantic Drama Begins; Set Photos Featuring Olga Kurylenko, includes video from facebook

Video here

With a distribution deal finalised last week for his 'cinema-changing' epic "Tree Of Life," Terrence Malick has started production on his next directorial effort, a romantic drama set in his home state of Oklahoma.

The project already has the likes of Rachel McAdams, Ben Affleck, Javier Bardem, Rachel Weisz and Olga Kurylenko attached to star and recently shot at Oklahoma's recent 23rd annual Indian Summer Festival — a celebration of Native American culture and the Bartlesville community. Attendees this year were greeted with a warning noting that Redbud Pictures, LLC "will be filming at these premises today" with the company, of course, being the same one registered earlier this year with Malick as manager.

Malick and a small crew were spotted filming Kurylenko as she floated around the festival's attractions. One notable moment definitely captured involved the actress interacting with and twirling a young local girl around in dance; all likely to be improvisation as the girl's parents signed release forms after the fact.

When approached, Oklahoma Film and Music continued to deny the production's existence but, with things scheduled to kick into full gear early October and run through November in Bartlesville and Oklahoma City, surely they won't be able to hide it much longer. Glen Basner's Film Nation is financing the pic with Bill Pohlad producing.

Sweeet.  I linked The Playlist to the Facebook video a few days ago, which I found quite by accident when I searched for Terrence Malick on Facebook and up popped this thing from a non-profit organization that promotes spaying and neutering your pets (they happened to be at the Oklahoma Indian Festival at the same time as Malick).

I'm sorry I forgot to also post the videos here.

is also interesting.  It shows a bunch of stuff from the festival, but 48 seconds in, you see Malick actually shooting a scene, and he's operating the camera himself.

Is this the greatest discovery in the history of XIXAX?

[Pubrick]

considering he didn't even show his face in the damn MAKING OF THE NEW WORLD documentary i would say yes, both of these clips are quite a find.

[Pubrick]

actually, it's the greatest xixax discovery since the time john told us about the time eli roth told him about the time eli thought cmbb was all about him..

(i just made it a separate thread.)

i think a top 5 is in order..

Should I stare at Olga Kurylenko or the rarely-seen Terrence Malick?

[squints]

A friend of mine teaches at a grade school in bartlesville, OK...yesterday she saw olga, ben affleck and malick all milling about and shooting scenes. She said they'll be there for two months and they've been shooting for the past three days.
i asked her if she was in the movie and she said:

no. i could have been yesterday but I was wearing a bright colored skirt and they want no bright colors. they asked me to audition for a speaking part...which i did but i didn't get it and I'm glad because its all improv

So affleck's in this and its all improv? and there are scenes at a school and an indian festival? hmm....

More Details Emerge On Terrence Malick's Next Film, Javier Bardem & Barry Pepper Will Play Priests



Now that we know "The Tree Of Life" will finally hit theaters in 2011, we can start obsessing on the director's next project, the untitled feature that currently is shooting in Oklahoma.

Starring Rachel McAdams, Ben Affleck, Javier Bardem, Rachel Weisz and Olga Kurylenko plot details are as usual, completely under wraps, but all during the the film's production, numerous pics and video of Malick and his crew shooting the film have made their way online. Now, more pics emerged thanks to local Osage County newspaper The Bigheart Times, along with a couple intriguing bits of info.

First up, the solid and continually underrated Barry Pepper has joined the cast of the film and along with Javier Bardem, plays a priest in the pic. So what does this indicate about the plot? We have no idea except that perhaps there will be some thematic crossover from "The Tree Of Life." The article goes on to indicate that shooting wrapped in Osage County last week, but no word yet on how many work weeks are slotted for filming. And of course, after that, comes Malick's painstaking editing process so this is one is still a long time from being seen (hell, we're still waiting on something official from "The Tree Of Life"; a release date even, not to speak of an official still or trailer).

But, we're mostly just thrilled not to have a wait a decade for another Malick film. That said, we don't expect this one to be ready until 2012 at the earliest so we will have to be patient. But two Malick films within such proximity is something to be excited for.

Exclusive: Details from the Set of Terrence Malick's New Drama
Source: TheWrap

Terrence Malick is a notoriously secretive, fiercely press-shy filmmaker who has always kept a tight lid on his projects.

If you're a fan of the reclusive director of "The Thin Red Line" and don't want to be spoiled, read no further --  because we've got tons of details about Malick's follow-up to "The Tree of Life," which is rumored to be titled "The Burial."

The Oscar-nominated director recently wrapped principal photography on the "romantic drama" starring Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, Rachel Weisz and Olga  Kurylenko - the recent Bond girl - along with Javier Bardem and Barry Pepper.

An individual inside the production provided TheWrap with call sheets, the details of which Deal Central has pieced together to reveal much of the plot. And that nude scene? Read below.

Once again, be warned: SPOILERS FOLLOW

Partial plot summary:

Set over a period of years, the film stars Affleck as Neil, a failed writer stuck in a loveless marriage with Marina (Kurylenko), whose expiring visa put pressure on Neil to propose. Neil and Marina have a daughter (Tatiana Chilin) together, but both of them are looking outside the marriage. Neil is drawn to Jane (McAdams) and Marina betrays her husband by having an affair with Charlie (Charles Baker).

Both Neil and Marina seek guidance from Father Quintana (Bardem), a priest frustrated by his inability to live his own life because he's too busy advising his parishioners on theirs. The couple's dysfunctional relationship begins to take a toll on their daughter, who starts having problems in school.

Other news from the Bartlesville, Oklahoma set include:

• "Casino Royale" beauty Olga Kurylenko filmed a nude scene from the waist down at a local pool, as well as a steamy sex scene in a motel with Baker.

Rachel Weisz demanded $100 protein bars that craft services provided exclusively to the Oscar-winning actress during her four days on set.

More plot details:

Neil is investigating a treatment plant that may be distributing contaminated water. He's also still in love with a woman from his past and doesn't have the courage to let her go, imagining her as a blindfolded ghost throughout the film.

After Marina dents her car and burns dinner, she and Neil have a fight and discuss splitting up. Marina feels like she and Neil are brother and sister and Neil admits that he feels burdened by her. After Neil storms out, his daughter begins talking in her sleep.

Charlie takes an interest in Marina and begins to seduce her by giving her a wind harp.

wait what? so he shot it in less than 70 days? oh my..


maybe we can expect this to show in....two years? because 2011 at he's editing pace seems unlikely.

[Stefen]

It will come out before Tree of Life haha.

Sounds awesome. A real departure for Terry. I wonder if he woke up one day, looked in the mirror and asked himself what he's doing with his life. Then he cashed his chips in and sold out. Good for him. This sounds really different and I can't wait. I wonder what the narrative will be like.

Rachel Weisz demanded $100 protein bars that craft services provided exclusively to the Oscar-winning actress during her four days on set.

haha fer real? pretty high demands from an actress who's proven to be box office poison. I can see why she's married to a dude who wears a scarf in the summertime.
