- Remember this name: Luiso Berdejo. Add the name to your mental rolodex. Chances are he is the best next thing in terms of Spanish filmmakers who've got a taste for the darker material and an eye for great designs - his "La Guerra" and "Limoncello" are proof of that. Churning out screeplays and short films (he won the prestigious Silver Méliès in 02' for best fantastic short) since the beginning of this decade, Berdejo who was last prepping the Cannes Atelier project (The Quagmire) has been tapped to direct New Daughter a project to be fully financed by Gold Circle, with international sales handled by Mandate Pictures. The Hollywood Reporter reports that Paul Brooks will produce, and Scott Niemeyer and Norm Waitt will executive produce. Also on board is Kevin Costner - he is paired with Ivana Baquero (the little girl from The Pan's Labyrinth). Adapted by John Travis
