Spain's
Filmax starts shooting The Machinist
Jennifer Green in Madrid, May 30,
2003
Filmax
began principal photography Monday on Brad Andersons The
Machinist, a 100% Spanish production shooting for eight weeks
in Barcelona.
The English-language
film stars Christian Bale (American Psycho), Jennifer Jason
Leigh (ExistenZ), Aitana Sanchez-Gijon (I Am Not Scared),
John Sharian (Saving Private Ryan) and the young Matthew Romero.
The story turns
on a factory worker whose acute insomnia leads him to suffer
disturbing hallucinations. When he is involved in an accident
in which another employee loses an arm, he insists fellow
worker Ivan is guilty. The trouble is, nobody else can see
Ivan.
Filmax
closed a series of pre-sales on the title at Cannes alongside
other titles in its forthcoming slate of genre films including
Jaume Balaguero's Fragile, Brian Yuznas Rottweiler, Beneath
Still Waters, The Nun and Paco Plazas Romasanta.
