#12. Rabbit Hole

Director: John Cameron Mitchell
Writer(s): David Lindsay-Abaire
Producers: Kidman, Gigi Pritzker, Per Saari, Leslie Urdang, Dean Vanech
Distributor: Fox Searchlight

The Gist: Based on David Lindsay-Abaire’s Broadway play, the story concerns a happily married couple, Becca (Kidman) and Howie (Eckhart), trying to cope with the death of their only child, a four-year-old who was killed in an auto accident….(more)

Cast: Nicole Kidman, Aaron Eckhart, Sandra Oh.

Why is it on the list?After exploring how sexuality and gender converge in Hedwig… and Shortbus, this will be a notable departure for l’enfant terrible not only in theme and budget size, but it’ll be a first for Cameron Mitchell as he is working from the contours of someone else’s screenplay.

Release Date/Status?: Searchlight will want to show off such dramatic on the film festival circuit and will likely show this during the autumn, Oscar-bait season.
