Top 100 Most Anticipated American Independent Films of 2019: #7. Untitled Miranda July Project

Date:

February 8, 2019

Director, screenwriter, singer, actress, author, complete artist, app creator and probably a cat-sitter Miranda July hadn’t made a feature since 2011’s The Future, but I’d bet a dollar that the experience of Madelaine’s Madeline thrusted her back into a filmmaking mindset. Currently untitled, Evan Rachel Wood, Gina Rodriguez, Debra Winger and Richard Jenkins joined the Annuapurna production back in June in Los Angeles. Me and You and Everyone We Know was selected for Sundance and Cannes in 2005.

Gist: Old Dolio (Wood) has her life turned upside-down when her parents (Jenkins and Winger) invite an outsider (Rodriguez) to join their biggest heist yet.

Release Date/Prediction: If Thierry Fremaux is still in adding new folks phase of 2018, it would be nice to see a genre item from a Camera d’Or winner (for Me and You and Everyone We Know) make it in comp. Annapurna and Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment are surely aiming for this.
