This will be a tough sell.... by Aloy	Apr 14th, 2008 03:27:30 AM
..sounds like nomination quality for sure but like all the Irag flicks of late, molesting priests don't sell tickets.
Based on the play... by didsomeonesaytacos	Apr 14th, 2008 07:09:24 AM
This is based on his play, of the same title that won the Pulitzer in 2004 and a handful of Tony Awards in 2005.

Too soon! Sorry, I just had too. I hope Streap is bettter in this than she is in Mamma Mia.
I didn't know he was directing tis as well as writing it.... by JayWells87	Apr 14th, 2008 10:43:15 AM
And as far as the whole "no spoilers here" thing...SPOILER....in the play, they didn't deem whether he was guilty or not, it was up to the audience. Do they change that for the movie?
Two Hours? by The Alienist	Apr 14th, 2008 11:55:36 AM
The play itself was barely 90 minutes--no intermission. What could they have added to bog down this very tight drama?
I missed this AND Frost/Nixon! by Bungion Boy	Apr 14th, 2008 12:58:56 PM
I'm a big NY Theatre fan and living in the city I go to a lot of advance screenings. But when films like this and Frost/Nixon screen, I don't get a call. Sure, I get calls for Definitely, Maybe and My Blueberry Nights. What do I have to do to get to a great movie. The last great one I got to go to was No Country For Old Men last May. Anyways, this is a fantastic play and with that cast I'm sure the film will be great.
To answer your questtion as to: Why 1964? by Sequitur	Apr 14th, 2008 02:03:44 PM
It is set during the Vatican II council which rbought modern changes to the Catholic Church. Part of the play is the struggle between the Nun who believes in the old doctrine and the Priest who tries to connect more with his parrish. She sees his wanting to connect and relationships with students the mask for other motives.
