Filmstalker: Anderson's Transsiberian pictures online

Brad Anderson is the Director of Session 9 and The Machinist and is currently in the midst of Transsiberian, a film about an American couple who are travelling on the Trans-Siberian railway from China to Moscow and become friendly with another travelling couple, and before long their journey becomes filled with deception and murder.

There's not much else on the story, but there have been some pictures released from the film online. It stars Emily Mortimer, Woody Harrelson, Ben Kingsley, Kate Mara and the superb Eduardo Noriega.

You can see the pictures over at Aullidos through Jo Blo.

Harrelson and Mortimer play the American couple, and Mara and Noriega the mysterious couple they become involved with on the journey.

Session 9 is a film I really did enjoy, although I did find issues with the story and some of the characters choices, the overall film was very strong and the direction excellent. I've yet to see The Machinist, but it's high on my LOVEFiLM rental queue.

Then there's the cool Harrelson and the excellent Noriega , just watch Abre los ojos and Tesis.

Richard. On Noriega, don't forget his wonderfully evil turn in Guellermo Del Toro's The Devils Backbone, or the criminally under seen (outside of Spanish speaking territories) El Metodo (aka The Gronholm Method).

Yes, the man is a damn fine actor and the whole project of Transiberian with its very international cast is one I've been looking forward to for a while now...

Oh and Rent The Machinist RIGHT AWAY, if nothing else than for Michael Ironsides supporting role and the horrific closeups of Christian Bale with all that weight off. Scary stuff.

Lots of faith in Anderson, he should be making films more often than he is instead of pimping himself out for the occasional HBO director-for-hire gig.

Thanks Triflic, I have seen Devil's Backbone, but I didn't love it as much as the other two...however I will up Machinist and track down Metodo.

I guess quality over quantity is a god send too though?

i second the machinist rent. One of my favourites for sure. And theres no denying Noriega's acting ability.

If you watch Abre los Ojos and then vanilla sky you will realise how useless cruise actually is. Well, in truth you could watch most of his movies to realise it.
