Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2012: #61. Roman Coppola’s A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III
He might have gone a good decade between films, but The Directors Bureau label creator, American Zoetrope co-owner and scribe Roman Coppola has remained acutely integrated in both the writing (Wes Anderson) and filming process (video work and helping out his sis).

Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2012: #65. Julie Delpy’s 2 Days in New York
The notion of sequels are made more magical whenever Julie Delpy is involved. Her writing and character development in Linklater's Before Sunrise/Sunset makes us especially hopeful for her 2 Days transatlantic gigs. We expect nutty cast of characters and a nuttier premise this time out.
