Production is under way in Vancouver.
Script was written by Buck and John Freitas and centers on a young woman, played by Doillon, who leads a disturbingly sheltered existence at the hand of her controlling psychiatrist (Rea). A nosey reporter (Sevigny), suspicious of the doctor's motives, gets involved, leading to her witnessing a homicide.
No Remorse's Edward R. Pressman and Alessandro Camon are producing. Lee Solomon of Grosvenor Park and Kirk Shaw of Insight exec produce. Suraj Gohill and Stephen Belafonte co-produce.
Voltage Pictures reps international rights to the pic.
Buck is a former electrical engineer who before turning to film had a job overseeing the electrical systems at New York's John F. Kennedy and La Guardia airports. He then enrolled in film classes at the New School, where he attended a lecture on "Sisters" by Freitas. Soon the two were writing a script together.
Of his take on "Sisters," Buck says: "In the original film, which I love, DePalma chose style over substance. I'm interested in exploring all the other stuff that's there -- the perversity, the tragedy, the sadness. All those character traits make it, to me, more interesting. I want to make the characters more alive."
Buck has won acclaim on the international fest circuit with his shorts "Cutting Moments," "Home" and "Prologue."
No Remorse is a partnership between the Edward R. Pressman Film Corp. and Image Entertainment. "Sisters" is their first pic to go into production.
