ECKHART, COLLETTE, BELLO IN BALL PIC
Posted: 2006-08-10 |
Alan Ball has set the cast and financing for his long-awaited feature directing debut, reports Variety. The untitled drama will star Aaron Eckhart, Toni Collette and Maria Bello. Steven M. Rales will finance.
Ball is using as inspiration the Alicia Erian novel "Towelhead," which he optioned in galley form in 2004 with his own cash. Ball wrote the script while presiding over his HBO series "Six Feet Under," of which he helmed six episodes.
Ted Hope is producing with Rales and Ball. Scott Rudin, Peggy Rajski and Hope's This Is That partner Anne Carey are executive producers.
The film tells the story of Jasira, who struggles with identity and sexual issues as the daughter of a Lebanese-American father and an American mother in Texas during the Gulf War.
Newcomer Summer Bishil has been cast to play the young girl and "Six Feet Under" regular Peter Macdissi will play a father trying to instill traditional Middle Eastern values in his daughter.
Shooting begins mid-September in L.A.

THE TRUE STORY BEHIND "THE NIGHT LISTENER"
Posted: 2006-08-01 |
Robin Williams may be starring in Miramax's drama-thriller The Night Listener, but the
unpredictable comedian just can't help being funny even when it comes to his suspenseful and
uncanny new role. Before the interview even started with Williams, he was already rather
jovial when he came into the room unannounced as we were still talking to writer Armistead
Maupin and said in one of his signature wacky voices, "Armistead pizza delivery." This caught
the author off-guard and he starting laughing saying, "Jeez you're good. You can see what a
gloomy set we had." Read the complete interview with Robin Williams, Toni Collette and Amistad
Maupin at ComingSoon.net |
