2012 Sundance Predictions: M.Blash’s The Wait

Date:

#73. The Wait – M. Blash

Another title that I pegged as a prediction for last year’s fest, but not only did this not show up in Park City but M. Blash’s sophomore pic wasn’t shown anywhere else including perhaps the more probable lieu of Cannes (where his debut film. Lying was shown back in 2006). Photographed by the excellent Kasper Tuxen (3 Backyards, Beginners), I hope to see this second effort will debut at the beginning of the year. The Wait stars Jena Malone, Chloë Sevigny and Luke Grimes.

Gist: The film follows two sisters (Jena Malone and Chloë Sevigny) who decide to keep their deceased mother in the house after receiving a call that she will come back to life. Grimes will portray a philosophical and enigmatic man who becomes smitten with Malone’s character.

Producers: Ryan Crisman, Neil Kopp (Meek’s Cutoff) and David Guy Levy (Lying)
