#68. Jack and Diane

Director/Writer: Bradley Rust Gray
Producers: Gray, Karin Chien (Circumstance), Jen Gatien (Holy Rollers), So Yong Kim
Distributor: Magnolia Pictures

The Gist: This revolves around the two women who meet in New York City and spend the night kissing ferociously. Diane’s charming innocence quickly begins to open Jack’s tough skinned heart. But when Jack (Keough) discovers that Diane (Juno Temple) is moving she pushes her away. Unable to grasp her new feelings, Diane’s emotions begin to cause unexplainable violent changes to her body...(more)

Cast: Jena Malone, Juno Temple, Kylie Minogue (see tattooed character above) and Riley Keough

List Worthy Reasons…: Miffed that this didn’t crack the Park City line-up, The Exploding Girl helmer Bradley Rust Gray had the internets abuzz for the right reasons: a teen lesbian werewolf premise and all female cast lead by Jena Malone, Juno Temple, Kylie Minogue and rising starlet, Riley Keough. But there is more to expect out of this and for Magnolia to swoop in and pick up the rights early suggests we might be talking favorable about this indie film late next year.

Release Date/Status?: Magnolia will be releasing this on June 1st – Bradley Rust Gray is a festival favorite so we expect an international premiere showing right before.
