We reported all the way back in July that Jennifer Lynch - daughter of David and director of Boxing Helena and Surveillance - was headed to India for her next film, a musical mystery story titled Hisss with a strong fantasy / horror element revolving around mythical Indian snake women known as nagin. Lynch recruited legendary effects man Robert Kurtzman to create the effects that would transform Mallika Sherawat - very much a woman, and not an ugly one - into the snake creature and the first shots of the finished effect have just appeared online. Very tasty. Very tasty, indeed. I still find it very odd that Lynch is doing a Hindi-language musical but my anticipation for this has just risen considerably.

There was good word surrounding Surveillance at FF and I'm sad I missed both screenings.
This project will be very interesting though. It will be fun to see an outsiders view of Hindi cinema.
Woah. That's some pretty disturbing make-up work. In a good way.
