It’s been two decades since Pedro Almodovar and Antonio Banderas made Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down. They now reunite for a revenge thriller, La Piel que habito (The Skin I Live In), scheduled to shoot later this year. From Variety via the Guardian:
Variety reports that the movie is loosely based on Thierry Jonquet’s 1995 novel Mygale and will star Banderas as a plastic surgeon on the trail of the man who raped his daughter. “It’s the harshest film I’ve ever written,” Almodovar told El Pais this week. “And Banderas’s character is brutal.”
“[The Skin I Live In]” will be a terror film without screams or scares,” the director explained to El Pais. “It’s difficult to define and although it comes close to the terror genre, something that appeals to me [and] that I’ve never done, I won’t respect any of its rules.”
