#74. Low Life

Director: James Gray
Writer: Gray and Ric Menello
Producers: Anthony Katagas, Greg Shapiro and Christopher Woodrow
Distributor: Rights Available

The Gist: An innocent immigrant woman (Marion Cotillard) is tricked into a life of burlesque and vaudeville until a dazzling magician (Jeremy Renner) tries to save her and reunite her with her sister who is being held in the confines of Ellis Island…(more)

Cast: Marion Cotillard, Joaquin Phoenix and Jeremy Renner

List Worthy Reasons…: While the unveiled brief synopsis doesn’t sound alluring, James Gray can be affecting with his dramas and what could you ask for more when you have Jeremy Renner, Marion Cotillard and regular James Gray contributer Joaquin Phoenix under one billing?

Release Date/Status?: By the time this is finished this won’t be going by the provisionary title above, but so far they got the production money and cast to go so all this needs is an official start date. Late film festival 2012 showing not impossible.
