First Look Photos From WHERE THE ROAD RUNS OUT; Isaach De Bankole, Juliet Landau, Stelio Savante Star

In June we brought you casting news on WHERE THE ROAD RUNS OUT. Today we have these first look photos from the film along with a behind the scenes featurette.

Directed by Rudolf Buitendach (Dark Hearts), WHERE THE ROAD RUNS OUT has been shooting on location in The Netherlands (Rotterdam), South Africa (Durban), and has also become the first feature film to shoot in Equatorial Guinea (Malabo). The film stars Ivorian born actor & Cesar award winner Isaach De Bankole (Casino Royale, The Diving Bell & The Butterfly), Saturn award nominee Juliet Landau (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Ed Wood) & South African actor & SAG nominee Stelio Savante (A Million Colours, Ugly Betty). The drama is brought to the screen by Dutch production company Firenze Film, & is line produced by Karin S De Boer (Black Book). The script is written by David Hughes (A Night At The Museum With McFly) with story by Robert Mann & Krystle Stok. Emmy nominee, Kees Van Oostrum (Dark Hearts, Gods & Generals) is the director of photography.

The feature has also partnered with special social partner SOS Children’s Villages, the world’s largest charity dedicated to orphaned and abandoned children.

In WHERE THE ROAD RUNS OUT (Field Station Africa), A Rotterdam based respected scientist and lecturer (Isaach De Bankole) has grown weary of the world of academia. The sudden death of an old friend who has been running a field research station in Africa gives him the incentive he needs to turn his back on his academia and return to his African roots. Arriving in Equatorial Guinea he finds the field station in a state of disrepair.

Through a local boy Jimi, his jaded eyes are opened to the possibilities of life in this rich and colorful place. Jimi also introduces him to Corina (Juliet Landau) who runs the local orphanage and a tentative but heartfelt romance begins. With the unexpected arrival of George’s old friend Martin (Stelio Savante), George discovers there are many obstacles on the road to redemption…and many more where the road runs out.

‘Take Flight’ documents Oldman’s Creative Process

Oh, man… I am so dying to see this. I came across a very brief entry about this on JoBlo.com and had to find more about it. Gary Oldman apparently shot a music video for the Jewish hip hop band Chutzpah… and he shot it entirely on Nokia cell phones (plug!).

Anyway, actress Juliet Landau originally was shooting this little behind-the-scenes bit, but it ended up becoming a 25-minute digital cinematic glimpse into the creative process of Gary Oldman. I’ll let the website explain further, which gives lots of good details regarding the various aspects of what went into this unexpected gem.

As for seeing the film… yeah, I can only hope and pray I somehow get to eventually see this in its entirety either on DVD or online. For those of you in Hollywood, enjoy your “convenient” screenings… I’m jealous!
