What you may need to know:
1. An aging actor loses his skills and his desire to perform and attempts suicide. He later begins an affair with a much younger lesbian which sparks passion into his life once again.
2. The movie is adapted from Philip Roth’s steamy novel of the same name . Al Pacino bought the rights in 2009. The sly dog.
3. As a novel it didn’t garner great review with the Guardian reviewer saying busy Roth needed to “be slowing down a little. And perhaps should be getting out of the house a bit more.”
4. It was a very depressing book, the trailer seems to have a few laughs though.
5. The great Barry Levinson is directing. I suppose we can forgive him Sphere (1998) after all. Just.
6. Greta Gerwig is apparently producing and writing the How I met Your Mother spin-off. entitled How I Met Your Dad.
7. Broadsheet Prognosis: More humbling, less fumbling please.
Release Date: TBC
Does Greta’s character steal a married man in the film? I wonder if she is as dedicated as Daniel Day Lewis, that would explain why she did it in real life: preparation for the role.
“Steal a married man?” Isn’t that kidnapping?
an affair with a lesbian. who, from the trailer, is either a psychopath, or “turns” for his manly charms.
great. just……………..great.
ugh.
Just a quick question. I may have already missed it, but can I assume that these trailer park things are sponsored adverts?
DC, not sponsored.
Cool. Thanks for the response.
Loses his skills and then ………..”He later begins an affair with a much younger lesbian”, …. wow , must have got those “skills” back and then some !!!
“How I Met Your Dad” has already been rejected by US Network TV
Sphere! I really liked that Film, I had read the book too, and the film is faitful to the book, but I guess some people didnt like either…
I liked the book. Hated the film. He failed to match the suspense that Crichton generated with what was a very thin plot. IMO
an affair with a lesbian. who, from the trailer, is either a psychopath, or “turns” for his manly charms.
great. just……………..great.
ugh.
