A great cast is coming together for the indie flick The Driftless Area, with Anton Yelchin, Zooey Deschanel, John Hawkes, Ciarán Hinds and Alia Shawkat, with Zachary Sluser set to direct.

The dark comedy is adapted from Tom Drury’s novel of the same name. Sluser wrote the screenplay adaptation alongside Drury.

The film is described as ‘an atmospheric dark comedy that centers on the enigmatic Stella (Zooey Deschanel) and Pierre (Anton Yelchin), a quietly resourceful bartender who returns to his hometown after the death of his parents. When Pierre falls in love with Stella, he is unwittingly drawn into a circle of fate pitting him against the volatile criminal Shane (John Hawkes).’

Zachary Sluser commented, “It is a great joy to be able to bring Tom Drury’s hauntingly beautiful story to life with such profoundly talented actors, all of whom have inspired me for years.”

Shooting is set to begin on May 14th in Vancouver.

Our Idiot Brother (Blu-ray)

September 16, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Paul Rudd, Emily Mortimer, Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel, Steve Coogan
Director: Jesse Peretz
Running Time: 90 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: September 16th 2013

It’s taken a long time for Our Idiot Brother to reach the UK. It was released in the US just over two years ago, but it’s only now making it onto DVD and Blu-ray. Considering the awesome cast, it might seem surprising it’s taken so long, but after watching the slightly underwhelming film I can understand why nobody felt in too much of a rush.

Paul Rudd plays the titular idiot, Ned, who lives on an organic farm with his girlfriend, but gets busted and locked up for selling pot to a uniformed police officer. After being let out of prison, he discovers his girlfriend has taken up with another man and won’t allow him back on the farm. Ned’s not even allowed to take his beloved dog, Willie Nelson.

It’s About Time For Zooey Deschanel In Richard Curtis’ Film

March 28, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Richard Curtis is busy putting together his third directorial comedy, a slightly mysterious time-travel comedy callled About Time. Things are certainly coming together though, as Variety reports that Zooey Dechanel and Domnhall Gleeson (Deathly Hallows) are in talks to star in the movie.

It’s been a bit unclear what the film is all about, other than time travel, although the latest reports help clear things up, saying, ‘Gleeson has an offer to play Tim, a young man who comes from a family of time-travelers. When Tim learns of his unique gift from his father, he uses his newfound abilities to change situations for the better. Deschanel is making a deal to play his love interest, Mary.’

Neither actor is locked in yet, and Deschanel has a rival offer for Fox 2000’s He’s Fucking Perfect, but is apparently leaning towards the Richard Curtis movie. Whichever she goes for will shoot during the break between seasons of her hit sitcom New Girl.
