2011 Sundance Predictions: Tony Kaye’s Detachment

Date:

#05. Detachment – Tony Kaye

With Black Water Transit no longer tied up in a legal tussle, though we gladly take in a Tony Kaye double bill, if we had to choose, we’d go with Detachment – a film that could send buyers into one of those legendary Park City frenzies. Filmed over the summer, if ready in time, we could get a school drama from the POV of the teachers and principles: Adrien Brody, Christina Hendricks, James Caan, Lucy Liu, Marcia Gay Harden, Bryan Cranston, William Petersen, Blythe Danner and Tim Blake Nelson star.

Written by Carl Lund, Adrien Brody stars as Henry Barthes, a substitute teacher, who roams from school to school, imparting modes of knowledge, but never staying long enough to form any semblance of sentient attachment.

* Producers: Carl Lund and Paper Street Films’ Bingo Gubelmann, Benji Kohn, Chris Papavasiliou and Austin Stark
