Well, it seems Roger's call has been heard, although rather than speaking out against the murder of one of their colleagues the focus will be on producing three remakes of Theo van Gogh originals:

The films of the murdered Dutch film director Theo van Gogh are to be re-made in America, with several Hollywood actors already lined up for starring roles.

Independent film production companies in New York and the Netherlands have announced they will remake three of the films by the director, whose controversial works led him to be targeted and murdered by a Muslim fanatic late last year.

The veteran Hollywood actor Steve Buscemi, the darling of Quinten Tarantino and the Coen brothers, and whose previous credits include Reservoir Dogs, has already been signed up to the project.

Other actors who have committed themselves include Stanley Tucci and Bob Balaban, who starred in several high-profile films in the 1970s, including Midnight Cowboy and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and has been in a string of independent films since.

The news emerged at the Toronto Film Festival, where van Gogh's work, which spans almost three decades, was honoured with a selection of screenings and a panel discussion about the mistreatment of Muslim women.

Van Gogh's movies were not exactly material for the masses and it will be interesting to see what Buscemi and friends will make of some of the material. The proof will be in the pudding: how will the publicity be handled once these productions are released? How much of it will be spent on the moviemaker's life and in particular, his death?
