Brian De Palma’s ‘Sweet Vengeance’ Will Soon Start Production

October 5, 2022 Jordan Ruimy

I’m hearing Brian De Palma is FINALLY ready to shoot “Sweet Vengeance.” The crime drama will shoot in and around Montevideo, Uruguay and will be “inspired by two true stories of murders” which took place in the United States.

De Palma is said to have been inspired by watching true-life crime programs on television the past three-to-four decades. He also has a Weinstein-inspired film that is currently in pre-production limbo.

De Palma is coming off a badly-reviewed release, the 2019 b-movie titled “Domino.” He’s been working on “Sweet Veangance” for three years now. The film is said to NOT be in English, which is a first for the filmmaker.

When asked last year to name his peak career period, De Palma didn’t choose any peak from the ‘70s or 80, but, rather, a one-two punch he had in the early ‘90s.

“In my mid 50s [actually his early to mid 50s], doing Carlito’s Way and then Mission: Impossible. It doesn’t get much better than that. You have all the power and tools at your disposal. When you have the Hollywood system working for you, you can do some remarkable things.”

What would I have chosen as De Palma’s peak? That 9-year streak between 1980-1989 was his peak: Dressed to Kill, Blow Out, Scarface, Body Double, The Untouchables,l. (Let's forget Wise Guys ever existed). However, I do agree with him about “Carlito's Way”, it's pretty close to a masterpiece and has aged very well. As for his '70s stuff, It's hit and miss, but Carrie, Greetings, and Phantom of Paradise are the standouts.
