| Cera And Hawkes Lead Cast Of Charlie Kaufman's HOW & WHY Posted: 14 Jan 2014 11:30 AM PST  Charlie Kaufman's very particular brand of oddity is headed to the small screen, the Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind and Adaptation writer set to write and direct the pilot episode of his new half hour comedy How & Why for FX in the spring. And he's just landed some very, very interesting cast with word that Winter's Bone star John Hawkes and Arrested Development's Michael Cera will be playing the leads. Hawkes will play Goodman Hesselman, the host of a science show - source of this show's title - replaced by a younger star (Cera) who moves off to a smaller town to start a new, rival show.

| RHYMES FOR YOUNG GHOULS: Watch The Exclusive First Trailer For Jeff Barnaby's Harrowing Debut Posted: 14 Jan 2014 11:00 AM PST  We have been outspoken supporters of Jeff Barnaby in these parts for some time now, Barnaby's short film work convincing us that the aboriginal Canadian filmmaker is one of the most powerful and challenging voices of his generation. That support was borne out by his debut feature, Rhymes For Young Ghouls, a gritty and harrowing tale set against the backdrop of Canada's residential schools - a system created as a sort of intentional cultural genocide carried out by the Canadian government against its native population by forcibly removing children from their homes to be 'civilized' by the white man's education in highly restrictive and very often wildly abusive boarding schools. The residential schools were a very real issue here up until surprisingly recently and the... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
