Noe Finally Set to Enter the Void?

The German-French Film Funding Commission has granted a nice chunk of change to Irreversible director Gaspar Noe for his long-awaited feature Enter the Void; $700K according to Variety.

Is it horror? Well what’s known about it is that it’s loosely on the Tibetan Book of the Dead, so perhaps there is a glimmer of hope there. A blog posting from Jason Gray, a guy living in Japan who does a lot of movie news, got word that Noe is filming Enter the Void in Tokyo as we speak, and that it’s about drug trafficking. What does that have to do with the Tibetan Book of the Dead? Good freaking question.

But that’s what we know about it now, so we’ll have to just deal with it and hope for more soon.
