Igby Goes Down

MGM

CAST & CREW:

Starring:
Kieran Culkin
Bill Pullman
Susan Sarandon
Ryan Phillippe
Amanda Peet
Claire Danes
Jeff Goldblum

SYNOPSIS:

Meet IGBY SLOCUMB (Kieran Culkin), an iconoclastic young teenager and hapless product of a deplorable upbringing. Igby is the youngest member of the Slocumb family which, in reality, is four individuals reluctantly sharing familial blood ties, existing under one roof. The father, JASON SLOCUMB (Bill Pullman), is in the midst of a sojourn not just from work but from life in general. Igby's mother, MIMI SLOCUMB (Susan Sarandon), is a battle-hardened, icy-cold matriarch with a long-term dependency on friendly sedatives-her "little peppies." Igby's older brother, OLIVER SLOCUMB (Ryan Phillippe), has set his cruise control for Columbia University and is eager to embrace young Republicanism. Oliver personifies everything that Igby is not; and, though the two brothers are separated by three years, Igby has struggled since day one to emerge from Oliver's persistent shadow.

Cast: Fairuza Balk, Matt Dillon, Stephen Dorff, James Franco, Balthazar Getty, Deborah Harry, Johnny Knoxville, Joshua Leonard, Frankie Muniz, Vincent Pastore, Norman Reedus, Brad Renfro, Maurice Compte, Ronnie Marmo, Drea de Matteo, Melvin Rodriguez

Director: Scott Kalvert (The Basketball Diaries)

Screenwriters: Paul Kimatian (feature debut), Christopher Gambale (debut)

SYNOPSIS:

Different subgenres are "revived" all the time... this movie looks like it might be hoping to revive the "teenage gang movie" of the 1950's? Maybe the time is right... the underlying psychology behind many of those movies was that Americans were increasingly afraid of their teenagers at some unconscious level (or at least, this is what they teach you in American Studies 101); and one of the top issues since Columbine and the other teen massacres is that Americans don't understand their teenagers (have we ever?).

CAST & CREW:

Cast: Nicolas Cage, Adam Beach (Carl Yahzee), Christian Slater, Noah Emmerich, Emily Mortimer, Frances O'Connor, Mark Ruffalo, Peter Stormare, Martin Henderson, Josh Hopkins, Brian Van Holt, Roger Willie

Screenwriters: Joe Batteer, John Rice (cowriters of Chasers, Blown Away)

SYNOPSIS:

This project has been on director John Woo's plate for quite a while now, or at least it feels that way mostly because his latest film, Mission: Impossible 2 took so long to finish. Now that Woo is free, this project has gotten a start date in August which will give Nicolas Cage time to finish Captain Corelli's Mandolin. This will be a big action movie in that Hong Kong style Woo is known for, so expect a good deal of fan anticipation in the months to come.
