Heres another mention in CNN coverage of Sundance.
The LGF films are 2nd and 3rd in the highlights.
Im amazed so far at the coverage this small co. is getting:
Crime, women and Kevin Spacey
During the event, an estimated 20,000 people will attend the films -- most of them wearing black, the standard Sundance uniform.
Some scheduled highlights:
"Committed," starring Heather Graham, Casey Affleck, Luke Wilson, Goran Visnjic, Patricia Velasquez and Alfonso Arau, and "Crime and Punishment in Suburbia," starring Ellen Barkin, Monica Keena, Vincent Kartheiser, Jeffrey Wright and James DeBello, will face off against 14 other independent films vying for the festival's Grand Jury Prize in the dramatic competition; 16 documentaries will compete for a separate Grand Jury Prize.
Kevin Spacey will enjoy VIP treatment as he receives the Piper-Heidsieck Tribute to Independent Vision. He'll also premiere his latest film, "The Big Kahuna," and more than likely answer questions about his Oscar chances this year for "American Beauty."
"American Psycho," an adaptation of the controversial Bret Easton Ellis novel about a rapacious killer in 1980s New York, will make its debut under the direction of Mary Harron.
Sofia Coppola, daughter of heralded filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, will screen her directorial debut, "The Virgin Suicides." Festival organizers say women like Coppola and Harron are making their mark at Sundance -- 26 percent of the films come from women filmmakers, a higher percentage than any other year.
"Beat," starring Kiefer Sutherland and Courtney Love, tells the story of Joan Burroughs, who died of a gunshot wound from her husband, beatnik William Burroughs.
Brothers Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen team up in the biopic "Rated X," a film about two savvy businessmen who succeeded in the world of porn. The film is directed by Estevez. |
