Synecdoche, New York directed by Charlie Kaufman (Academy Award-winning writer of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), the film stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener, Michelle Williams, Samantha Morton and Hope Davis. Clever set of circumstances which is a little hard to follow in the trailer, but some great actors.
A hilarious clip from Hamlet 2 with Steve Coogan and Elizabeth Shue. Hamlet 2 also stars, Catherine Keener and David Arquette. I am looking forward to seeing this movie in theaters August, which was a smash hit at the Sundance Festival 2008. Enjoy this clip.
I am very excited for Nicole Holofcener because she’s going to be filming her next movie very soon with her muse, Catherine Keener, who starred in all of Holofcener films. Other actors casted in her latest movie venture include Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt and Rebecca Hall.
I have to brag and say I have interviewed Holofcener twice. I find her to be a very insightful and endearing director, someone you can trust.
The movie is untitled but focuses on a woman (Keener) and her husband (Platt) who live next door to an elderly woman whose New York apartment the couple owns. Keener and her husband essentially are waiting for the elderly woman to die so they can reclaim the apartment but run into interference from — and then form a relationship with — the woman’s granddaughters (Peet and Hall.)
