Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2010: Jodie Foster’s The Beaver

Date:

IONCINEMA.com Top 100 Films

#24. The Beaver

Director: Jodie Foster
Writer(s): Kyle Killen
Producers: Steve Golin and Keith Redmon
Distributor: Summit Entertainment.

The Gist: Gibson will play a depressed man who finds solace in wearing a beaver hand-puppet. On top of helming, Foster will play the role of the man’s wife.….(more)

Cast: Mel Gibson, Anton Yelchin, Jodie Foster and Jennifer Lawrence.

Why is it on the list?: My enthusiasm is pretty much based on the material – Kyle Killen’s screenplay was the top vote-getter in 2008’s Black List of unproduced screenplays.

Release Date/Status?: No release date has been set yet, but expect Summit to open wide and perhaps as early as the summer.
