FilmFour has this to say about Ripley's Game 
Sharp, dark, violent and sickeningly funny, Liliana Cavani's film is a worthy addition to the Ripley film series, anchored by a tremendous performance from John Malkovich in the title role, akin to his acerbic turn in Dangerous Liaisons.

The Map of Love 
BBC News ran a nice article about casting for the film.  Click here to read it.

Ripley's Game

Also added 2 more photos from the photo-call.

Variety has this to say about Ripley's Game
If anyone was born to play Tom Ripley, it's John Malkovich; the aloofness, erudite manner, cool charisma and chilly superciliousness of his screen persona make the actor a perfect fit for the cultured killer. Malkovich's elegantly malicious performance gives "Ripley's Game" a magnetic center, complemented by Liliana Cavani's efficient direction and an enjoyable retro feel that recalls the British Cold War thrillers of the 1960s. Despite some pedestrian plotting and a final act that could be tighter, this is suspenseful adult entertainment that should find a receptive audience. Fine Line has scheduled domestic release for April.

The Poet 
According to Amaranth Film Partners website, "principle photography began in Vienna by the banks of the Danube on August 17th, with all Austrian locations concluded by August 29th.  Filming now continues in Bavaria Studios, Munich. The shoot is scheduled to finish on October 10th.

The Map of Love 
According to a Welsh news-site, apparently casting is not yet a done-deal for the film.
