For those of you who cant get enough of
Jim Jarmusch‘s
deadpan indie aesthetic, you’re in luck. Variety reports the lo-fi
auteurs latest, tentatively titled
The Limits of Control
, is underway,
and features Jarmusch regulars
Isaach De Bankole
(from Night on Earth and
Ghost Dog) and
Bill Murray.

 

Focus describes the movie as "the story of a mysterious
loner (to be played by Mr. De Bankolé), a stranger, whose activities remain
meticulously outside the law. He is in the process of completing a job, yet he
trusts no one, and his objectives are not initially divulged." The film is currently in production in Madrid, and also
stars Tilda Swinton (hot off her Best Actress Oscar win),
Gael Garcia Bernal,
and John Hurt. It’s the story of a mysterious man in the midst of a criminal
plot. Produced by Focus Features, The Limits of Control will be
Jarmusch’s first film since 2005s
