#88. Restless
Director: Gus Van Sant
Writer(s): Jason Lew
Producers: Brian Grazer, Bryce Dallas Howard, Ron Howard
Distributor: Columbia Pictures.

Cast: Mia Wasikowska, Henry Hopper and Schuyler Fisk.
Why is it on the list?: It may be a studio project, but my feeling is this may be closer to his indie work, than Finding Forrester.
