When Joel Schumacher made Tigerland in 1990, he plotted a future that would include a film such as Twelve – an indie-priced film funded by French money (Gaumont). The pic which resembles The Rules of Attraction and Alpha Dog on the surface, will close this coming edition of Sundance. Based on the novel by teenage scribe Nick McDonell, its depiction of the freewheeling, decadent lifestyle of Manhattan’s young and rich and tells the story of a young drug dealer who watches as his high-rolling life is dismantled in the wake of his cousin’s murder, which sees his best friend arrested for the crime.
Chace Crawford (see above) seen in The Haunting of Molly Hartley and next year’s Footloose is paired with Emma Roberts who is growing out of child and teen roles such as Lymelife and will along with this picture get into more adult fair such as What’s Wrong with Virginia.
Sprinkled among young cast (see Nico Tortorella below), we find Kiefer Sutherland, Rory Culkin and Ellen Barkin.
