Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I'm thinking I'm going to get angry letters from fans of the "indie" Anthony Hopkins, the 22 year old just starting out... I mean, is this world really that cool that THE Anthony Hopkins has written and is going to direct a noir comedy? Can't be, can it?

But I'm going to assume is the Tony Hopkins we all know and love until I get those angry emails... with this "other Hopkins'" driver's license attached.

This flick is called SLIPSTREAM and the cast it has so far is fuckin' great. Here's the checklist: Anthony Hopkins (of course), John Turturro, Kevin McCarthy, Christian Slater, Jeffrey Tambor ("Hey now!"), Camryn Manheim, Michael Clarke Duncan, Gavin Grazer, Aaron Tucker, Lana Antonova, LIsa Pepper, Stella Arroyave, S. Epatha Merkerson, Fionnula Flanagan and Christopher Lawford. Phew... exercizin' the old fingers typing all those names.

Here's what the movie's about according to Hollywood Reporter:

'"Slipstream" is a noir comedy about an actor and would-be screenwriter who, at the very moment of his meeting with fate, comes to discover that life is random and fortune is sightless as he is thrown into a vortex where time, dreams and reality collide in an increasingly whirling slipstream. The story is described as a complex, surreal and dreamlike tale of one man's journey.'

Hopkins directing a movie like this makes my day. I don't know about you, but I want to see this one now!
