Beaver Duo Take on Drake Doremus’ ‘Crazy’ Indie Drama

Date:

Having recently just worked together on the high anticipated Jodie Foster’s The Beaver, the Blacklist favorite starring Mel Gibson, baby faced thesps Anton Yelchin and Jennifer Lawrence might have instant chemistry making it a hell of a lot easier for Drake Doremus’ first “big league” indie project – a significant step up from the film he presented in Park City just four months back. Production Weekly’s Twitter feed mentions that Doremus will team with Sundance alumni actors on an independent project called Like Crazy. I expect more details to trickle in, but for the time being, we know that filming will begin next month, giving the production enough time to be completed and ready for a second-straight year Sundance stint for the filmmaker. I’m also expecting Crispy Films’ Jonathan Schwartz (who teamed with Doremus on Spooner (a Slamdance entry) and Park City laugher Douchebag. If anyone has further details, please throw me a bone below.
