Alex de la Iglesia will direct tragicomedy "Balada triste de trompeta," which is set up as a co-production between Spain's Tornasol Films and France's La Fabrique du Film.
The same two companies were behind De la Iglesia's 2008 hit "The Oxford Murders," which starred Elijah Wood. Distribbed by Warner Bros., "Murders" took Euros8.2 million ($11.7 million) in Spain, making it the highest-grossing Spanish film of last year.

Thanks to the questionable state of "Oxford"'s one-time American distributor ThinkFilm, the screening was one of few opportunities to see the Elijah Wood-John Hurt thriller on a U.S. big screen -- according to de la Iglesia, the film will be going direct to DVD. And while reaction from parts of the world where the film did get a theatrical release was mixed, "The Oxford Murders" is an undeniable reaffirmation of de la Iglesia's status as one of the world's most inventive filmmakers, both visually (exemplified by a particularly breathtaking tracking shot of the streets of London) and as a storyteller (demonstrated by his application of philosophy to Guillermo Martínez's literally by-the-numbers tale of a professor and a student who go after a serial killer guided by mathematics).

Like I said back in July when I first learned of this project, I'm incredibly proud of Kristoffer Aaron Morgan (aka "Kraken") and Eric Vespe (aka "Quint") for getting their nursing home horror flick, THE HOME, on the path to production.
