Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. This movie, TENDERNESS, sounds cool as hell and I'm really looking forward to seeing Russell Crowe in a down and dirty thriller. Crowe plays a Detective who has been following a serial killer (Sophie Taub) for a while and young actor Jon Foster is a teen obsessed with her. Lionsgate now has the North American, UK, South African and Australian distribution rights for the flick.

The only thing that makes me a little cautious about this is that John Polson directed it... The man also directed SWIMFAN... yikes... But this is an indie flick, based on a well-liked book and with some serious good talent... He also has Laura Dern in the flick. Let's hope this is his "Sorry about SWIMFAN" movie.
