New Thandie film
Intandem has 'Blown' funds for Fiennes
By Stuart Kemp
Filmmaker Martha Fiennes has enlisted U.K.-based sales and finance house Intandem Films to put together the financing on her $15 million-budgeted espionage thriller "Blown."
Fiennes, who directed "Chromophobia" and "Onegin," is gearing up to helm "Blown," which details the story of a ruthless MI5 agent working in the world of espionage.
Thandie Newton is attached to play a high-class call girl in the film, and Intandem is in talks with agencies to attract other talent.
Fiennes is working with producer Shani Hinton, who has worked on several Woody Allen movies.
Production is scheduled for second-quarter 2008.
Intandem CEO Gary Smith said packaging "Blown" elevates his company's ambition to grow into being "a major supplier of quality, commercial films."
Added Smith: "We are thrilled to be working with Martha, who is a really creative talent, and the cast that this project is attacting.

Thandie on Rocknrolla from MTV.com
With his first feature, Guy Ritchie
made one heck of a name for himself amongst moviegoers itching for crime, action, and lots of testosterone. In the late ’90s, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels was the quintessential guy movie — every man I knew raved about it with the passion usually saved for religious zealots. Many of those same moviegoers followed along with Snatch, but then slammed into the cinematic wall with his Swept Away. One might think this had something to do with Ritchie’s attempt to have a female lead, and that he wouldn’t dare enter those waters again. Nevertheless, he has with RocknRolla, which found its deal in May, and was cast in June. If co-star Thandie Newton is to be believed, we shouldn’t worry about her presence in the crime feature. She recently talked to MTV and said: “I was the only girl for miles around. I thought I’d have to struggle to be a woman in that scenario. [But] Guy was so open to me having ideas.” Perhaps because of his inexperience writing ones that live up to the male characters he creates? Her character, Stella, is an “accountant who becomes more and more cooked as the story goes on. I think [Guy] was surprised at how dirty I played this character. I just kept pushing it and he loved it. He loves surprises.” Maybe this will be the big breakthough for Ritchie — female characters that don’t have sap that dies on the big screen, but rather, sass that rivals his memorable male characters. What do you think? Will RocknRolla re-inspire the admiration of his old fanbase with a lead like Newton and much less romance?
