7 Sundance Snapshot: Your Sister's Sister Puts the Fun in Family Dysfunction
Director Lynn Shelton made her Sundance premiere with Humpday, and she returned to the festival this year with Your Sister's Sister. The film has a tiny cast — in fact, most of the scenes are between just three actors — but this little indie is one of the most memorable films I caught at the festival. Here's why: Who's behind it? Emily Blunt, Rosemarie DeWitt, and Mark Duplass make up the Read more
Jim Halpert is lining up his next vacation from The Office: John Krasinski is in talks to star in Nobody Walks, an indie drama written by Lena Dunham. The film focuses on a family and young artist who disrupts their lives after her weekend stay turns permanent. Rosemarie DeWitt and Olivia Thirlby are also on board; though, there's no confirmation on who's playing whom, my guess is Krasinski and Read more
One of the films I was most interested in checking out at Sundance was The Company Men. The timely tale, which focuses on three high-paid corporate executives slapped with downsizing at their company, boasts a stellar cast and is already drawing comparisons to Up in the Air. But does it have the potential to enjoy the same success? Who's behind it? Like I said, there are some heavy hitters Read more
Depending on your attitude, Rosemarie DeWitt either has great luck or terrible luck with on-screen sisters. She recently starred as Rachel opposite Anne Hathaway's Kym in Rachel Getting Married, and now she's the foil to Toni Collette's Tara in United States of Tara, which just premiered to strong ratings. At TCA, I chatted with DeWitt about her film families, how she got the Tara gig, and how Read more
United States of Tara is one of the most unusual shows to hit TV in a while — even for Showtime, home of drug-dealing moms and sympathetic serial killers. First imagined by Steven Spielberg, created by Diablo Cody, and brought to life by a cast led by Toni Collette and John Corbett, the show centers on a suburban housewife named Tara who is living with Dissociative Identity Disorder, which Read more
I normally cry at weddings (and wedding scenes), so spending a whole wedding weekend with Rachel and her family in Rachel Getting Married was quite the teary experience. It’s not all weeping and sighing (though there's a lot of that, in both the joyful and the heart-wrenching scenes) — there is also silliness and humor. It's a movie about forgiveness, heartache and the tenderness of human Read more
Yes, that is Anne Hathaway with a choppy little haircut standing next to Rosemarie DeWitt, who played one of my favorite characters on Mad Men, Don's mistress Midge. The two women play sisters in Rachel Getting Married, a family drama focusing on Hathaway's character, Kym returning home for her sister Rachel's (DeWitt) wedding. I like Hathaway a lot and I love watching DeWitt, but I kinda think Read more
John Krasinski and Emily Blunt came to the Sundance Film Festival with different movies, but the happily married twosome met up yesterday to support each other's projects. John is in Park City to debut Nobody Walks, and Emily snuck into the theater to watch the premiere with him on Sunday. John missed Emily's Your Sister's Sister since he was back in LA doing promotional work for Big Miracle. Read more
Even before Drake hit the stage last night, the Bing Bar was playing host to some of the hottest events of the Sundance Film Festival. The cast of Lay the Favorite, including the always adorable Joshua Jackson, chatted about their film on Saturday afternoon, while upstairs everyone from Elizabeth Olsen to Emily Blunt hit the lounge for interviews. Elizabeth was a breakout star of last year's Read more
Jennifer Garner ran errands and stopped for lunch at Lemonade in LA yesterday. She's been sticking to an active schedule, including a meal with pals Rosemarie DeWitt and Gina Torres Wednesday, since announcing the news of her third pregnancy in August. Jennifer may soon take her bump on the road for an Oct. 20 screening of her upcoming movie Butter in Austin, TX. The film won't be released until Read more
