2012 Sundance Predictions: Marc Turtletaub’s Gods Behaving Badly

A major supplier of Sundance films (Little Miss Sunshine, SherryBaby, Sunshine Cleaning and Our Idiot Brother) over the years as a producer at Big Beach, if there is a venue where Marc Turtletaub should show off his filmmaker it would be in the condo hills of Park City. Problem isn’t the heavy star-studded cast or the comedy’s logline but the actual timing — they’d have to work overtime to have Gods Behaving Badly ready for the fest as shooting appears to have just wrapped.
