Welcome to this week’s Nxt review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and I can say “macaroni” in Italian…M…a…c…a…r…o…n…i. On this week’s Nxt, we have some wrestling, which seems to be the opposite of Raw, so you should be happy. Also, do you wonder if Katy Perry has ever knocked anybody over with her massive breasts? Y’know, wham, bam, thank you, oooff! Any-way, while you think about that, let me tell you about this week’s Nxt.

New projects by Peter Greenaway, Pavel Lungin and Valeria Gai Germanika are among 18 feature films selected to be pitched at the fifth edition of Moscow Business Square’s Co-Production Forum.
This will be the second time that Greenaway is at the Forum after presenting his project Food Of Love, based on Thomas Mann’s novella Death In Venice, there last year. His pitch then won him the $40,000 (€30,000) Best Pitch award sponsored by the new Moscow production complex Glavkino.
This time the Welsh-born director will be introducing Eisenstein In Guanajuato, which recounts the time the 33-year-old Russian director fell briefly, but intensely in love in a small Mexican town while researching for the never completed picture Que viva México! in Mexico between 1929-1931.
At last year’s Odessa International Film Festival, Greenaway told ScreenDaily that “99% of the financing” was in place for this project and he hoped at the time to shoot in Mexico at the end of...
