IONCINEMA.com Top 100 Films

#42. Yellow

Director: Nick Cassavetes
Writers: Cassavetes and Heather Wahlquist
Producers: Jordan Gertner, Chris Hanley, David Hillary, Timothy Wayne Peternel
Distributor: Seven Arts Entertainment and GFM Films LLC

The Gist: This is about a young woman whose drug habit isn’t the worst of her problems…(more)

Cast: Lucy Punch, Sienna Miller, David Morse, Daveigh Chase, Elizabeth Daily, Melanie Griffith, Gena Rowlands, Max Thieriot, Riley Keough and Wahlquist

List Worthy Reasons…: Going on year two, we’ve been anticipating the project when it was first announced (#61 in 2011) and oddly, somewhere along the way Ben Foster dropped out of this indie addiction drama (perhaps Rampart took its place?) which is a shame because he and Cassavetes worked out so well with his Alpha Dog character. On paper this is up our alley and we think this dark comedy might pan out to be an edgier, more worthwhile career choice for this Cassavetes.

Release Date/Status?: Picked up by a new distribution company, this could receive a world premiere at a fest as early as Berlin, or as late as Venice/TIFF/Telluride/London/AFI Fest.
