Sometimes, movies can spend years being put together (ahem, Terrence Malick), while on the other hand, they can occasionally be knocked out in no time flat. Welcome, to "Writers," the indie flick which shot back in the spring, and is gearing up for a World Premiere at TIFF in the fall.
Starring Greg Kinnear, Jennifer Connelly, Kristen Bell, Logan Lerman and Lily Collins, the indie dramedy centers around an author, his ex-wife and their kids. Here's the synopsis: An acclaimed writer, his ex-wife and their teenaged children come to terms with the complexities of love in all its forms over the course of one tumultuous year in Writers, the clever, funny, and touching tale of a fractured family trying to rediscover one another.
The film currently has Canadian distribution via Entertainment One, but has no stateside company just yet.
Shot and assembled in 6 months. . . 20 years preparing for the opportunity!
Connelly and Collins are perfect casting as mother and daughter. Look at those eyebrows.
debut directorial effort from Josh Boone – hope this is picked up by a US distributor. the cast is great and Judy Cairo who produced this has impeccable taste (see Crazy Heart). Could be one of the sleeper hits of TIFF. Bright Eyes is supposed to have done some songs for the film-excellent choice
Wow he put that together fast-less than 6 months! It looks good and there are some great actors in there especially the underappreciated Jennifer Connelly.
