Top 100 Most Anticipated American Indie Films of 2018: #86. Emma Forrest’s Untogether

Date:

Untogether

She started off as a journalist in her teens. She became a best-selling author in her young adulthood, moved into screenwriting and landed on the Black List with LIARS (A-E), and true to form and with gusto, the London born longtime Angeleno moved into filmmaking with her own screenplay. Emma Forrest‘s Untogether went into production in October of 2016 with a formable cast in tow.

Spotful & IONCINEMA.com

With a cast comprised of Jamie Dornan, Jemima Kirke and Lola Kirke, Ben Mendelsohn, Alice Eve, Jennifer Grey, Scott Caan and Billy Crystal, this follows the affair between Andrea (Jemima Kirke), a former teen prodigy turned heroin addict who is trying to be a writer now that she’s sober, and Nick (Dornan), a writer who’s found success with his memoir of war-time bravery, which sees him showered in wealth and women. With Cinematographer Autumn Durald onboard, if there is a frankness, a weight and an openness in her texts, we can expect something cinematically along the lines of say a 21 Grams.

Release Date/Prediction: Could shore up at the Tribeca Film Fest or TIFF.

Interview: Marjane Satrapi & Vincent Paronnaud – Persepolis

The thrill of meeting Marjane Satrapi reminded me of being 6 years old at Disney Land when I met the living, breathing Cinderella. Except Cinderella was an actress with a blond wig and Marjane is the real woman behind her autobiographical graphic novel, turned movie, “Persepolis”. The distinctive mole on her nose and her dark sultry eyes rose off the page and appeared in front of me, smoking and speaking with a French accent.
