It sounds like what hardcore bodybuilders like to do the most, but it’s actually a competition that would be of great preparation for some of the challenges on television’s Survivor. The Hands on a Hard Body was the focal point of a 98’ documentary film and now it might become a full length feature. What is surprising is the helmer who has wanted to direct the project as The Hollywood Reporter states “for years”.
After health complications, A Prairie Home Companion’s Robert Altman is looking to team up again with again with Picturehouse Films on this next project. Inspired by the events depicted in S.R. Bindler’s 1997 documentary Hands on a Hard Body: The Documentary: basically fans should think Gosford Park + a large pick-up truck. Altman and co-writer Stephen Harrigan will recount a Texas endurance contest that offered a new Nissan Hardbody truck as the prize. The last person left standing with a hand on the truck got to take it home. Can you imagine the number of overlapping voices during a cool 30 minutes?
Here at ioncinema.com, we have a list of other project of Altman’s in development and not sure what the status are on them. Commencing with the Picturehouse famed fable project of The Tortoise and the Hare, we also the exotic and notorious real-life World War I spy project Mata Hari with Cate Blancette attached, and finally Paint (formerly known as Ultraviolet), is set among the denizens of the New York art scene, centers on a murdered painter and his younger fellow-artist brother, played by Franco. Hayek will play a documentary filmmaker drawn into the brothers’ private world while working on a project about the late painter.
