A few years ago I visited a temple near my home and a monk there gave me a little book called “A Man Who Can Recall His Past Lives.” In it, the monk wrote about Boonmee, who could recall his multiple lives in the cities of the northeast. In 2008, I wrote a screenplay inspired by the reincarnation of Boonmee, and started to travel in the region in search of his surviving offspring and relatives. I met his two sons who provided accounts of their father. 　　In Nabua in December 2008, I located several houses that I thought would be suitable as Uncle Boonmee’s house in the proposed feature film. This short film is a personal letter describing my Nabua to Uncle Boonmee. 　　The film is comprised of shots of the houses’ interiors in the evening. They are all deserted except one house with a group of young soldiers, played by some teens of Nabua. Two of them impersonate me by narrating the film. 　　- Apichatpong Weerasethakul 　　http://www.kickthemachine.com/works/Primitive%20sub_website/Primitive_Short_films/A_Letter_to_Uncle_Boonmee.html

《凝视》为一部心理惊悚片，薇诺娜·瑞德在片中饰演一名剧作家，在进行创作的过程中，她发现自己逐渐产生幻觉，并开始被这些幻觉和噩梦所干扰，让她无法分清哪些是真实、哪些是幻想。至于詹姆斯·弗兰科，将会饰演瑞德剧本中的一位演员。 　　 　　从剧情上看，这个恰好类似薇诺娜·瑞德刚刚出演过《黑天鹅》中波特曼的角色，不过这回主人公成了编剧，而且瑞德成为了主演。影片由Jay Anania执导，他与弗兰科关系很好，因为他是弗兰科在纽约大学导演专业的老师，这恐怕也是两人能够合作的重要原因。另外，Jay Anania执导的另一部作品《影子的赞歌》也宣布会由弗兰科担纲主演。 　　 　　Waterstone则是一个刚刚成立的电影公司，这也是该公司投资拍摄的第一部影片，他们还计划在即将举行的戛纳电影节上寻求新的合作伙伴。 　　 　　除了主演之外，弗兰科还会担任本片制片人。从当前的情况看，弗兰科可能会选择在拍摄山姆·雷米的新片《奥兹巫师》之前抓紧进行这部惊悚片的拍摄。至于薇诺娜·瑞德，她的另一个拍摄计划是重新联手蒂姆·波顿，拍摄新版《科学怪狗》。
