Antonia Bird (Priest, Face) is directing one of the features Kees Kasander -- Peter Greenaway's regular producer -- is making with London-based Film & Music Entertainment and post-production house Molinare. The 4-film slate will cost $17.5 million to produce. One of the films, The Domino Effect, is already in the can and editing in the Netherlands. “This isn’t one of those fantasy slates that you read about,” F&Me co-principal Mike Downey tells me. “All 4 films are pretty much financed.

Arthouse favourite Greenaway will shoot Goltzius and The Pelican Company, about a 16th century Dutch...
