2012 Sundance Predictions: Bradley Rust Gray’s Jack and Diane

#33. Jack and Diane – Bradley Rust Gray

If Bradley Rust Gray’s drama horror romance is going to be included at the fest this year, it all depends on the kind of strategy Magnolia Pictures decides to employ. The distributor already has a strong relationship with the fest (previously providing titles such as Timecrimes and Troll Hunters) — add that to the blogger buzz the pic has been receiving, the cast of young indie starlets in heat and the fact that Bradley’s wife should also be at the fest with her latest means we can reasonably expect a Park City at Midnight showing for Jack and Diane.

Gist: This revolves around the two women who meet in New York City and spend the night kissing ferociously. Diane’s charming innocence quickly begins to open Jack’s tough skinned heart. But when Jack (Keough) discovers that Diane (Juno Temple) is moving she pushes her away. Unable to grasp her new feelings, Diane’s emotions begin to cause unexplainable violent changes to her body. Through these awkward and insecure feelings, the two girls must struggle to turn their first love into an enduring one.

Producers: Gray, Karin Chien (Circumstance), Jen Gatien (Holy Rollers), So Yong Kim
