My Blueberry Nights: In (Limited) Theaters - February 13, 2008
Wong Kar-wai's English language debut has gotten mixed reviews so far, but David's gotten praise all around for his small role. Having been quoted as saying it was one of the hardest parts he's ever taken has kept my interest afloat. Too bad it's a limited release.
The Spiderwick Chronicles - meet Mr. Spiderwick
The Spiderwick Chronicles: In Theaters - February 15, 2008
I was initially very excited at the idea of David in a fantasy picture, then when I saw the first trailer my excitement deminished. Now, I'm excited again. This looks great (and I'm sure the film has benefitted from having John Sayles on as one of the adaptive writers!) Can't wait to see David in this.
Conversations in Tusculum: Running Dates - February 19 - March 23, 2008
Psyched!
A Tale of Two Sisters: In Theaters - March 14, 2008(?)
I'm not sure how I feel about yet another Asian remake...but I should not judge before I see it. I finally saw the original about a month ago. Terrifying, and the father (whom David plays) doesn't have much of a role at all, so *fingers crossed* that David will have some decent screen time.
Trumbo: The Art of the Fight: In Theaters - Spring 2008
This documentary has been receiving rave reviews thus far, so I'm certainly curious...
Them That Work: TBA 2008
A tribute and I'm sure-to-be interesting behind the scenes documentary on Matewan (1987). I'm excited for this; one of Sayles's finest films and a real cinema treat.
The People Speak: TBA 2008
A four-hour miniseries. (Yikes!) But the material is interesting, and I've only recently stumbled upon Howard Zinn's work, so we shall see. I wish I could be in Boston next week to see all the great (FREE!) live performances they're doing for the documentary.
Challenger - still a go?
Hereafter, Challenger: TBA 2008
I'm listing these together because, well, it's unknown at the present whether these films are still happening at all. :( It will be a real pity if they are not, because both sound like terrific stories, as well as high-profile roles for David. Let's hope they're still "happening"!
