David Gordon Green gets the WIP!! Warners to put out the brilliant SNOW ANGELS and produce a new Grisham!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. This is great news. I had a handful of favorite films from my Sundance experience... ROCKET SCIENCE, THE SIGNAL and INTERVIEW to name a few. But I think the most involving and well made film I saw was David Gordon Green's SNOW ANGELS. Man, this is one depressing flick, but one of those depressing flicks you love to curl up with knowing you're going to be upset by the time the credits roll.
WIP (Warner Independent Pictures) has picked up SNOW ANGELS for almost exclusive distribution. They've also set Green up with a deal adapting the John Grisham book, THE INNOCENT MAN, a nonfiction book about a man who spent 10 years on death row for a crime he didn't commit.
Good on WIP! Can't wait to see SNOW ANGELS again!

Damn you Michael Bay

Read the Vanity Fair article on the Grisham book, and being from Oklahoma, I think Green is the one director around today who captures the south in the best way.

One of my favorites from Sundance. Sam Rockwell was even more brilliant than usual. Kate Beckinsale won me back after losing me with films like "Van Helsing," "Click," and "Laural Canyon." No matter what gets released this year, I'd be shocked if this didn't end up high on my best of list this year. PS: I loved "Rocket Science" too.

No frickin way. Snow Angels might have been my 2nd least favorite film that I saw at sundance... That's not saying it was bad, just slow and not particularly compelling.

What a great movie. "Undertow" is excellent as well, and was filmed on the outskirts of Savannah, Georgia (where I live).

is and while I enjoyed "Undertow," it was a mess. But man, a lot of it was great. I wish he had taken a crack of "Confederacy of Dunces," but as the years go on, I see that book as never making it to the screen. Can't say it enough. He's the future. When all's said and done, he will have a great career behind him. I just hope he hangs around. Fifty years ago, he'd be writing novels and hailed as the next Faulkner or Capote.
