the "Capri, Hollywood 2008 - Honda International Film Festival" will open on december with the European premiere of Rian Johnson's "The Brothers Bloom".
The Brothers Bloom is a 2009 caper film written and directed by Rian Johnson and stars Mark Ruffalo, Adrien Brody, Rachel Weisz, Zachary Gordon, Nora Zehetner and Rinko Kikuchi. Shooting began in Belgrade, Serbia on March 19, 2007 and ended recently. The film is budgeted at $20 million. It will have a limited release on May 15, 2009, and expand into wide release two weeks later on May 29.
The world's greatest con men, the Brothers Bloom, have made a living off of swindling millionaires with complex scenarios of lust and intrigue. Stephen (Ruffalo) and Bloom (Brody), and their silent partner and sidekick Bang-Bang (Kikuchi) team up for one last job, conning beautiful heiress Penelope (Weisz) by taking her on a tour of the world and relieving her of US$2.5 million. On the way, Bloom (who has no first name in the entire movie) falls for Penelope, which complicates the con severely.
