2012 Sundance Predictions: Marc Turtletaub’s Gods Behaving Badly

Date:

#25. Gods Behaving Badly – Marc Turtletaub

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.

Gist: The story follows Greek gods living in a brownstone in New York City, where their paths cross with a young couple (Alicia Silverstone and Ebon Moss-Bachrach). Christopher Walken plays Zeus, Sharon Stone plays Aphrodite (see street pic above), Edie Falco is Artemis, Oliver Platt is Apollo, John Turturro is Hades and Rosie Perez plays Persephone.

Producers: Turtletaub and Saraf
