One of the surprisingly good viewings (so far) among my Park City selections has been picked up Fox Searchlight Pictures. Featured in the Dramatic Competition, this film is part of the ‘bad seed’ genre of psychological thrillers – but unlike the dreadful stuff we are so used to seeing, Joshua delivers in more than one area.
Written by David Gilbert and George Ratliff, JOSHUA is the tale of Brad (Rockwell) and Abby (Farmiga) Cairn, perfect Manhattan parents in a perfect Manhattan apartment whose perfect life begins to crack after the birth of their second child Lily. Shortly after Lily arrives home, a dark side of prodigy son Joshua slowly begins to reveal itself.
The film was produced by ATO Pictures’ Johnathan Dorfman serving as producer and Temple Fennell as executive producer. Dan O’Meara also served as executive producer and George Paaswell co-produced. It is scheduled to be released in summer 2007.

The thrill of meeting Marjane Satrapi reminded me of being 6 years old at Disney Land when I met the living, breathing Cinderella. Except Cinderella was an actress with a blond wig and Marjane is the real woman behind her autobiographical graphic novel, turned movie, “Persepolis”. The distinctive mole on her nose and her dark sultry eyes rose off the page and appeared in front of me, smoking and speaking with a French accent.
