Poster - Josh Hartnett's 'I Come With the Rain'

So what's the deal on I Come With the Rain? The Josh Hartnett action thrilla with a good international cast, solid backing by the likes of StudioCanal, and maybe even a score by Radiohead should be one of those movies we're talking more about. But either distributors in the U.S. aren't interested or the production companies are seeing how it fares overseas, where it probably has a better shot at commercial success. It begins as a fairly straightlaced detective movie, with retired cop Hartnett traveling to Hong Kong to search for a missing son of a billionaire. But he becomes haunted by memories from his own past and the case of a serial killer that forced Hartnett to leave the force in the first place. I hope we do get to see it sooner than later. It might pop up at Toronto in September, but the film is already going to be finishing its run in Japan and a few other international markets by then, so maybe it will get fast-tracked into the post-Labor Day U.S. bargain bin.

"retired cop?"
Maybe Josh Hartnett should pick some roles closer to his age. It was bad enough when he was supposed to be a sheriff in 30 Days of Night, but now a retired cop.

Well, he left the force because of the weight of that serial killer case. More a permanent leave of absence, I think.

Looks really cool... like you said, great cast and if Hartnett can pull off any roll its the noirish detective/private eye. He seems, like a fine wine, to only be getting better with age and his choice of projects (minus the aforementioned 30 Days) is also improving. For a guy who I couldn't stand when he debuted he has really started to grow on me, with strong work in this type of setting... Slevin and Dahlia (which was a crap flick, all style no substance - the definition of a de palma film - but his performance was spot on). I'm definitely going to seek this one out.

I can't wait. It looks good. Anything with Josh Hartnett is worth watching. He's a talented actor.

Thanks so much for the update Colin !
I can't wait to see that goddamn movie. I'm a big fan of Tran Anh Hung. I have friends in Japan who have seen it on my advice. They were shocked by the experiment BUT THEY JUST LOVED IT (they said Hartnett's acting is impressive ... and they're all straight males).
Btw Colin, the movie will be wide released in Russia in September.
