2014 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: Untitled Noah Baumbach’s Public School Project

Date:

His only ever appearance at the festival was with 2005’s The Squid and the Whale. Be a nice, unexpected “surprise” if Noah Baumbach returns with a project, which has been very tight-lipped to say the least. Production began in December of 2012 in NYC at Barnard College, and much like Frances Ha, once again employs cinematographer Sam Levy and Greta Gerwig in the acting capacity. ThePlaylist folks were expert sleuths on this one –  supplying much of the info below.

Gist: Baumbach calls this is cross between “The Great Gatsby” and “Something Wild”. Lola Kirke plays a Barnard undergraduate who aspires to be just like Gerwig’s character.

Production Co./Producers: Unknown

Prediction: Premieres category. Or Cannes. Or TIFF.

U.S. Distributor: Rights Available
