Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2012: #42. Nick Cassavetes’ Yellow
Going on year two, we've been anticipating the project when it was first announced (#61 in 2011) and oddly, somewhere along the way Ben Foster dropped out of this indie addiction drama (perhaps Rampart took its place?) which is a shame because he and Cassavetes worked out so well with his Alpha Dog character. On paper this is up our alley and we think this dark comedy might pan out to be an edgier, more worthwhile career choice for this Cassavetes.
Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2012: #43. Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers
After his most recent creative misfires in Trash Humpers and Mister Lonely, I figured that I wouldn't be too pumped for Harmony Korine's future output...well I think I might be wrong with that assertion. With a premise that sounds Gregg Araki-like, with Steven Spielberg's right-hand man DP Janusz Kaminski on board and risk-taker James Franco being cast alongside tween icons (Selena Gomez, Emma Roberts, Vanessa Hudgens) we might just be in for an avant-garde caper film.
Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2012: #44. François Ozon’s Dans la Maison
With back to back films Le Refuge and Potiche constituting as an upward swing in his career, Francois Ozon's In the House is according to the producers of the film closer to the atmosphere found in Swimming Pool with a more comedic tone.
Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2012: #45. Raymond Depardon’s Journal de France
So if Raymond Depardon filmed the French countryside with such care and attentiveness in 2008's La Vie Moderne, I imagine we'll be getting some of the same and then more -- apart from the road docu movie, Depardon will be including a treasure trove of items from a career spanning almost half a century.
Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2012: #46. Jesper Ganslandt’s Blondie
In 2009 the Swedish helmer factory gave us a new name to watch out for. It's The Ape that put the filmmaker on our map but we won't be expecting further medicine-ball pounding from this Swede. Apparently moving closer to the tone of Farewell Falkenberg, Jesper Ganslandt is delving into family and female dynamics via situational humor. We look forward in reading these subtitles.
