As powerful and meaningful now as it was when it debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in 1986, River’s Edge is a dark and disturbing film (and based on actual events) about youth alienation directed by Tim Hunter (The Far Side of Jericho, TV’s “Deadwood”), and staring Keanu Reeves (A Scanner Darkly, The Lake House), Crispin Glover (Willard, Wild at Heart), and Dennis Hopper (Easy Rider, Land of the Dead). Though obviously not screening in competition in 2007, River’s Edge is being screened as part of the Sundance Collection, and also in an effort to promote film preservation – appropriate, because few film age this well.
Keri Russell, Alessandro Nivola and Elias Koteas have reportedly signed on to join Sigourney Weaver and Kate Bosworth in playwright David Auburn’s psychological thriller The Girl In The Park. Auburn, who penned the script, is best known for his 2000 play “Proof” which garnered the Tony Award for Best Play as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Best Drama, both in 2001. Most recently the playwright penned the Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock flick “The Lake House”.
