Top 200 Most Anticipated Films for 2014: #165. Cameron Crowe’s Deep Tiki

Published on February 6, 2014

Deep Tiki

Director: Cameron Crowe
Writer: Cameron Crowe
Producers: Scott Rudin and Crowe
U.S. Distributor: Columbia Pictures
Cast: Bradley Cooper, Rachel McAdams, Emma Stone, Alec Baldwin, Danny McBride

Excluding his docu-items, Cameron Crowe’s 8th feature — the currently untitled/formerly titled Deep Tiki has the sort of a-lister acting dream team that David O. Russell has become accustomed to. Managing to land cinematographer Eric Gauthier (Into the Wild), we’re curious if this will fall somewhere along the lines of We Bought a Zoo or (we’re doing some free association with The Descendants) might be the second Hawaii-based narrative in line for critical salutations.

Gist: A celebrated military contractor returns to the site of his greatest career triumphs and re-connects with a long-ago love while unexpectedly falling for the hard-charging Air Force watchdog assigned to him.

Release Date: This adventure comedy might be Columbia Pictures’ dark horse Oscar item and it might prepped for the late stages of the ’14 calender and the fall festival schedule preems.
