Harring, Scott versed on indie Poet
by Chris Gardner

Laura Elena Harring and Dougray Scott are teaming to star in the independent suspense thriller "The Poet" for British director Paul Hills. The $9 million-budgeted project is set to start shooting Aug. 17 in Munich. The story follows an international assassin (Scott) who misses his target and accidentally kills the wrong man. In trying to rectify his wrong, he attempts to learn more about the life of his innocent victim only to meet and fall in love with the man's sister (Harring). German producer Arno Ortmair is producing through his production company Film/Line. Harring received much attention and a 2002 ALMA Award for her starring turn in David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive." She is repped by ICM, Untitled Entertainment and attorney Steven Brookman at Bloom, Hergott, Diemer & Cook. Scott, whose credits include "Enigma," "Ever After" and "Mission: Impossible 2," next stars in "Ripley's Game." He is repped by WMA in Los Angeles and in the United Kingdom by agent Lindy King. Hills wrote and directed the films "Boston Kickout" and "The Frontline."
