#34. For Ellen
Director/Writer: So Yong Kim
Producers: Kim, Bradley Rust Gray and Jen Gatien
Distributor: Rights Available
The Gist: When an aspiring young rock musician (Paul Dano) agrees to sign divorce papers with his estranged wife, he discovers he is not ready to forfeit all custody of his six-year-old daughter…(more)
Cast: Paul Dano, Jon Heder, Jena Malone, Margarita Levieva and Dakota Johnson.
List Worthy Reasons…: 2012 is the year of Paul Dano who reminds us why he is a sought after indie film lead. He has got Looper, He Loves Me, Being Flynn and this single parent drama in the can and he is working on Night Moves and gets to play Karl Rove in the blacklist favorite, College Republicans. Fans of Kim can breathe a collective sigh of relief — after back to back consecutive years on our Top Most Anticipated List (#53 in 2010, #18 in 2011).
Release Date/Status?: This is finally getting a festival premiere at Sundance with a possible showing in Berlin as well. Will be picked up for distribution and set up for a 2012 release.
