After Robin Williams’ untimely death, it looked for a while like we might not see his final movie beyond festival and other limited screenings. Despite starring the much-loved actor, distributors seemed to be shying away from it. However now the movie has arrived and you can see why in the immediate aftermath of Williams’ demise distributors might have had pause, as in it Robin plays a quiet and melancholic character in a movie that has an air of sadness running right through it.

However, Williams is extremely good in the movie as Nolan, a middle-aged, married man living a dull, grey life with little joy and little to keep him going into his fast encroaching later life. Then he literally bumps into Leo (Roberto Aguire), a young rent boy working on the streets. While Nolan doesn’t want sex, something about the man lights something inside him and he starts to seek out Leo’s company and attempts to help him. [Read more…]

It looks like Robin Williams is going serious again as Variety reports that he is set to star alongside Roberto Aguire in Dito Montiel’s (A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints) planned new movie Boulevard.

The movie is described as an intimate drama about marriage and lies, Williams will play Nolan Mack, a devoted husband in a marriage of convenience until a run-in with a guarded young man forces Nolan to come to terms with his own secrets. Quite what those secrets are haven’t been revealed (the plot description does give off a potentially gay vibe, but it could easily be about something else). Roberto Aguire will play Leo, the young man.

Montiel will direct from a screenplay by Douglas Soesbe. It’s not clear when it might shoot.
