Uh….

A Reuters/Holywood Reporter headline says, “Oteri switching teams for ‘Southland Tales’.
With due respect to a talented woman, shouldn’t the headline be “Oteri works!” or “The Rock and Seann William Scott Reunite” or even “We Really Have Nothing Else To Write… Sorry.”

    She plays a lesbian bodybuilder. That’s funny.

    I think it’s more interesting how Kelly is trying to create a built-in audience for the film — writing a series of graphic novels that will be published leading up to the film’s release, all tied into the website. Pretty ambitious for an indie.

    The more and more I hear about the casting of this film, the more and more I think SHIT. I hope I’m wrong.

    i’ll give a talented director the benefit of the doubt on casting until the movie opens. u never know what a diverse cast can do.

  5. Bruce says:

    This is a quasi sequel to The Rundown!

  6. cullen says:

    this movie is either going to be a masterpiece or a total piece of pretentious trash.

  7. BluStealer says:

    I’m a little worried with the cast being assembled for this. Anyone else?

  8. Wrecktum says:

    Is Charles Rocket in the movie? Don’t think it’ll be any good unless Charles Rocket’s in it.

  9. Josh says:

    He totally made Dumb and Dumber.

  10. White Label says:

    Reads like a press release from Oteri’s publicist/agent.

  11. MASON says:

    I don’t really get the Richard Kelly thing at all.

  12. Josh says:

    I thought Donnie Darko was a real good movie. Especially for a young first time director/writer. But heres the thing. The second movie always makes or breaks these guys.

  13. Terence D says:

    I keep waiting to hear that they signed Pauly Shore and Andy Dick for this one too.

  14. PandaBear says:

    Kelly seems to be really confident because not many directors would go into battle with this group.

  15. Wrecktum says:

    I hear Tim Kazurinsky’s been hired. Please confirm.

  16. Angelus21 says:

    Does that mean Bobcat Goldwait is in?

  17. knowitall says:

    Why is this even being discussed? I don’t get it… Is Dave drunk?

  18. Mark Ziegler says:

    It’s Labor Day Week and he’s had to sit thru a month of bad films. Cut him some slack.

“The true punk film of the festival.”
~ Romain Blondeau On Claire Denis’ Les Saluds in Les Inrocks

“It’s also defined commercially by the difference between a colorful, Hawaii-set comedy starring George Clooney and a black-and-white, prairie-based old-age odyssey featuring a straggly and unkempt Bruce Dern. All the same, Paramount Vantage should be able to ride accolades for this very fine Cannes competition entry to respectable specialized returns in fall release.”
~ McCarthy On Nebraska
