Because I’m a huge fan of Sophia Coppola (specifically The Virgin Suicides and Lost In Translation, not so much Marie Antoinette). The trailer doesn’t reveal much about what this is actually going to be about, but I’m still interested. Stephen Dorff deserves a cool leading role and Elle Fanning might be less annoying than her older sister.
127 Hours:
I’m curious to see what director Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire) is going to do next. He’s going to have to do something interesting to carry the narrative structure of a story about a hiker trapped under a boulder for five days. Oh, and I’ve heard James Franco is at his best.
Freakonomics:
I hear that, like the best-selling book, the film is successful in making rigorous data analysis fun and exciting. Each “chapter” is done by a different director, and it looks like its woven together with some eye-catching art direction.
True Grit:
The Coen Brothers. And an eye-patched Jeff Bridges redoing an apparently iconic John Wayne role.
Casino Jack:
While I need to first see Alex Gibney’s documentary Casino Jack and The United States of Money, it should be interesting to see Kevin Spacey in the title role. Interestingly enough, it looks like Abramoff himself is set to be released right before this film.
