FILIP JAN RYMSZA is in preproduction on his third feature, the L.A.-set neo-noir “A Girl and a Gun” with producer Liz Federowicz of Kiss Kiss Productions.
Named for Jean Luc Godard’s comment “All you need for a movie is a girl and a gun,” the film “centers on a down-on-his-luck runner who poses as a Hollywood producer when he meets an aspiring actress fresh off the bus from Kansas,” Rymsza says.
Sound designer Leslie Schatz (“Twilight”) is attached. Casting directors Janet Hirshenson, Jane Jenkins and Michelle Lewitt of The Casting Company are in talks with several name actors, Rymsza said. Production is scheduled to begin in March. A University of Chicago alumnus, Rymsza made the Chicago-set existential dramas “Sandcastles” and “Dustclouds.”
