Vancouver - Michael Madsen and Daryl Hannah - two of the assassins from Quentin Tarantino's popular Kill Bill films - have reunited for the crime drama Vice, shooting until May 4.

Vice, from producer Matthew Robert Kelly (Little Boy Blues) and writer/director Raul Sanchez Inglis (The Falling), is about a group of cops blamed for missing narcotics, and is crewed by another Tarantino film veteran, DOP Andrzej Sekula of Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs fame.

Vice is the first project from Kelly's upstart entertainment financing group Arcview Entertainment, with offices in Vancouver and Nevada. He says after noticing that horror movies and romantic comedies seem to be saturating the market, Inglis' Vice was the right project to move forward.

"I wanted to do something a little different," says Kelly. "Vice is an edgy, psychological cop drama that's really in your face, dirty and gritty. I think it will appeal to moviegoers because no one is doing this kind of picture right now."

Kelly is a partner in Arcview with Vice executive producers Graham Taylor and Michael Tan. Madsen and Hannah also exec produce. Ian R. Smith (Ladies Night) of Vancouver's Excelerated Entertainment, the service shop on the film, is coproducer.

The project - also starring rapper Kurupt and John Cassini (Robson Arms) - is completely financed by Arcview, however, Kelly would not disclose the budget. The company will look for a distributor on the festival circuit this fall, starting, Kelly hopes, with the Toronto International Film Festival.
