#61. A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III
Director/Writer: Roman Coppola

Distributor: Rights Available
The Gist: A graphic designer’s enviable life slides into despair when his girlfriend breaks up with him…(more)
Cast: Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Bill Murray, Charlie Sheen, Aubrey Plaza, Jason Schwartzman, Patricia Arquette and Katheryn Winnick
List Worthy Reasons…: He might have gone a good decade between films, but The Directors Bureau label creator, American Zoetrope co-owner and scribe Roman Coppola has remained acutely integrated in both the writing (Wes Anderson) and filming process (video work and helping out his sis). Charlie Sheen can kiss the shoes that Coppola walks in for the role of Charlie Swan, and we can kiss our future ticket stub for what should pan out to be a delicious comedy noir number. Winning!
Release Date/Status?: Producers of the the film will want to showcase this at a major film festival and since CQ was first launched in Cannes back in 2001, my thinking is France first, North American rights pick-up and then theatrical release all within a six month stretch.
