  • The World to Come
    THE WORLD TO COME Directed by Mona Fastvold *World Premiere - 2020 Venice International Film Festival - Competition* PRESS CONTACTS US Press: Emilie Spiegel, [email protected] Intl Press: Claudia Tomassini, [email protected] SYNOPSIS In this frontier romance framed by the four seasons and set against the backdrop of rugged terrain, Abigail (Katherine Waterston), a farmer’s wife, and her new neighbor Tallie (Vanessa Kirby) find themselves powerfully, irrevocably drawn to each other. As grieving Abigail tends to the needs of her taciturn husband Dyer (Casey Affleck) and Tallie bristles at the jealous control of her husband Finney (Christopher Abbot), both women are illuminated and liberated by their intense bond, filling a void in their lives they never knew existed. Director Mona Fastvold (The Sleepwalker, co-writer of CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER and VOX LUX) examines the interior lives of two women resisting constraints, giving voice to their experiences. Scripted by Jim Shepard and Ron Hansen (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford), THE WORLD TO COME explores how isolation is overcome by the power of imagination and human connection. Q&A with Director Mona Fastvold First of all, tell me how the material came your way. It’s an interesting pairing of a novelist adapting a short story — was this a script that came to you fully formed? The script came to me from one of our producers, Whitaker Lader, who had seen my previous film. She and Casey had been developing the script with the screenwriters, Ron Hansen and Jim Shepard, for some time. I was immediately struck by it.

    Publication Date: September 4, 2018 Media Contact: Diane Levinson, Publicity [email protected] 212.354.8840 x248 The Endings Photographic Stories of Love, Loss, Heartbreak, and Beginning Again By Caitlin Cronenberg and Jessica Ennis • Foreword by Mary Harron 11 x 8 in, 136pp, Hardcover, Photographs throughout ISBN 978‐1‐4521‐5568‐5, $29.95 Featuring some of today’s most celebrated actresses, including Julianne Moore, Alison Pill, and Imogen Poots, the photographic vignettes in The Endings capture female characters in the throes of emotional transformation. Photographer Caitlin Cronenberg and art director Jessica Ennis created stories of heartbreak, relationship endings, and new beginnings—fictional but often inspired by real life—and set out to convey the raw emotions that are exposed in these most vulnerable states. Cronenberg and Ennis collaborated with each actress to develop a character, build the world she inhabits, and then photograph her as she lived the role before the camera. Patricia Clarkson depicts a woman meeting her younger lover in the campus library—even though they both know the relationship has been over since before it even began. Juno Temple portrays a broken‐hearted woman who engages in reckless and self‐destructive behavior to numb the sadness she feels. Keira Knightley ritualistically cleanses herself and her home after the death of her great love. Also featured are Jennifer Jason Leigh, Danielle Brooks, Tessa Thompson, Noomi Rapace, and many more. These intimate images combine the lush beauty and rich details of fashion photographs with the drama and narrative energy of film stills. Telling stories of sadness, loneliness, anger, relief, rebirth, freedom, and happiness, they are about relationship endings, but they are also about beginnings.

  • When Jake Epping (James Franco) Steps Into a Closet and Travels Back to 1960—A Maine Diner’S Version of Narnia—He’S on a Mission to Stop the Assassination of JFK
    March 21, 2016 If you had the chance to change history, regardless of the consequences, would you? When Jake Epping (James Franco) steps into a closet and travels back to 1960—a Maine diner’s version of Narnia—he’s on a mission to stop the assassination of JFK. Armed with stacks of research from diner owner Al (Chris Cooper), who attempted this mission before, Jake makes a life for himself in the past while staking out Lee Harvey Oswald (Daniel Webber). The past pushes back, however, actively throwing chaos at Jake as he tugs at the threads of history. Developed by Bridget Carpenter (Friday Night Lights) for Bad Robot Productions and Hulu, 11.22.63 is ​ ​ ​ ​ an adaptation of Stephen King’s novel of the same name. Rather than the “binge watch” model of Netflix, Hulu went the more traditional route, releasing one episode of the eight­part series every Monday. Each episode also features an orchestral score by Alex Heffes, himself a fan of King’s novels. He approached composing the series as he would a film, but one that runs nine hours. With live musicians and the Newman Scoring Stage at his disposal, Heffes stirred up weekly drama with his sessions for Franco’s man out of time. Kristen Romanelli: I imagine that your connection with [director] Kevin Macdonald brought you to ​ 11.22.63. ​ Alex Heffes: That was the original connection, yeah. Bridget Carpenter, who is the showrunner, had seen ​ quite a few of the movies I’d done with Kevin and a few of the others.

President Nixon was in the White House and the U.S. was at war in Vietnam. The image of the picture‐perfect, stay‐at‐home housewife with the ideal husband and family was being threatened. Forces of change—a sexual revolution, the use of hallucinogenic drugs and a new founded challenge to authority—had crept into family rooms and dinning table conversations. Raised in a traditional Christian family, Perry leads a sheltered life, always doing what is expected of him. He has a wonderful virgin Christian girlfriend, Dorothy. He attends church with his family on Sundays and enjoys family dinners. He is following a career path that will prevent him from being drafted to fight in Vietnam. As a chemist he is book smart and company driven, but doesn’t know the harsh realities of the world. Everything he believes in is challenged the day he is chosen to be a jury member in a hippie death cult murder trial, where the defendant on trial is a strikingly beautiful woman named Leslie.

Epicedian Olin smarts his Portraits at Intercontinenal Hotel in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. More than a year before his MLB debut, Tatis signed away a portion of his career earnings. What an amazing actress; she brought a very physical and visceral quality to the role of Hayley. JSFatal bucket which will pollute it. Maybe because we come from the womb, in the water. Aja also acts as producer alongside longtime associate Gregory Levasseur. And then I realized that both movies were so different. That way of showing America was always very interesting to me and I always wanted to find a story that acted as a way of appropriating that for the big screen. Mom and Pop businesses. And then there can be the Alexandre trilogy of underwater films. The spectacle in one hand, the fear in the other hand that can only compete with the spectacle. And even though the hurricane becomes a bigger part of it, it is very much a one location kind of movie. Paris looking for people only he can see. Tender, emotional, queer, kinetic, and profound: Get lost in the rhythms. The script came with this very simple logline about this young woman who was trying to save her dad during a category five hurricane in Florida, in a flooded zone infested with alligators. But their idyllic getaway turns for the worst when a maniac attacks them. Vote for your favourite Clown Prince of Crime? You can choose what kind of effects you want.
