Page created. Shooting began on the movie back in November last year and wrapped on March 19th. It is a remake of the 1997 film Open Your Eyes which also starred Penelope Cruz. In this movie though, she does play a different role. Instead of playing the best friend's girlfriend, she plays the women who drives the car into tree. Now with Cameron Crowe's movies, they always have a kick-ass soundtrack. Just take a look (or indeed listen) to Almost Famous' soundtrack and you'll hear what I mean, but the exciting news about this project is that Pearl Jam lead guitarist Mike McCready is on board. Pretty cool, if fact if I remember rightly, Pearl Jam were featured heavily on the Singles soundtrack and that one rocked! Anyway, besides the fact that this movie is a remake of a pretty good forieign language flick, the promising soundtrack, the excellent cast line up etc, the film also re-unites Cruise with Crowe after the magnificent film that was Jerry Maguire. Lets hope that they can relight that fire.
