Dime stanley cup nsion Films has acquired newcomer Mikey Wigart s thriller screenplayShiver, which is setto be directed and produced by Twelve And Holding director Michael Cuesta.Inspired by true events, the story follows a group of New Year sEve party-goers stranded in a snowstorm who stumble upon the home of a torture-obsesseddoctor. Shiver is a perfect match for Dimension and we could not be more excitedto collaborate with Michael Cuesta on bringing this terrifying script tolife, Dimension chief Bob Weinstein said. What I like about Shiver and the horror genre is that when it sdone honestly, with serious intent, it can tap into the social fears and anxietiesof our time, Cuesta said. I find that exploring the grotesque, the abhorrent, and whatdisturbs us, is a chance to convey some universal truths about us and our society.

Hallam Foe leads the nominations for the 2007 BAFTA Scotland Awards which will be presented in Glasgow on November 18. David Mackenzie s tale of a disturbed teenager coming to terms with the death of his mother has been nominated for Best Film, Best Screenplay, Best Actor for Jamie Bell and Best Actress for Sophia Myles. Myles is certain to win on the night as she is the sole nomination in her category, a damning reflection of the continuing paucity of roles for women in Scottish cinema. The remaining nominations in all categories are split between The Last King Of Scotland and Gaelic-language feature Seachd-The Inaccessible Pinnacle. The Last King Of Scotland is already a BAFTA and Oscar winner but the BAFTA Scotland eligibility period places it in contention for this year s awards. Seachd attracted some controversy recently when producer Chris Young resigned from BAFTA when it refused to submit a British entry for the Best Foreign stanley cup Language Film Oscar.
