Living In Cinema's Craig Kennedy speculates this evening that the digitally shot "My Son My Son, What Have Ye Done" may make an appearance at the Telluride fest. The film is produced by David Lynch and directed by Werner Herzog (who also co-wrote the script). Both of these film makers have a history with the festival...(Herzog and I rode the same yellow school bus to the Patron brunch two years ago...sort of freaked me out at the time).
The Film is said to be based on a true story about a murder that stems from a man's belief/obsession with Sophocles "Oedipus Rex."
The film stars: Willem Dafoe, Brad Dourif, best supporting actor Oscar nominee Michael Shannon and Oscar nominated Chloe Sivigny among others.
Very cool resource. Appreciating the pre-fest reporting. :-)
ReplyDeleteAgreed! And many thanks! ^_^
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered if it was worth shaking down someone in the local bookstore there since they obviously have to pre-order all the adaptations ahead of time.
Hope this year's festival is festive.
Forgot to add, that the trailer for this is out:
