#06. The Details – Jacob Aaron Estes
After no mention of the film during the 2010 film festival calendar year, my hunch is Jacob Aaron Estes might unveil The Details as a highly sought-after acquisitions title for back to back festivals located in Park City and Berlin. It would be a return to the place that helped launched his career – Estes premiered Mean Creek in Sundance back in ’04. In his long awaited and highly anticipated sophomore feature we find Sundance alumni in Elizabeth Banks, Tobey Maguire and Laura Linney.
This shot in Seattle comedy, begins with raccoons. The very morning after Jeff (Maguire) completed his perfect garden with newly laid turf, he wakes up to find it in total disarray, with each strip of grass flipped over as if he had been singled out by some kind of lawn terrorist… And things are not going great with his wife Nealy (Banks) either. They’ve been married 10 years, and have a beautiful 2 year old son, but their marriage is going through a rough patch, and the cracks are starting to show…
* Producers: Mark Gordon, Bryan Zuriff and Hagai Shaham (Mean Creek)
