I hadn't heard much about SIDEWAYS before today. I knew Alexander Payne (ELECTION, ABOUT SCHMIDT) was working on a new project but for the life of me, I couldn't remember what it was. Then today I get this curious e-mail from a guy named "Darth Hasselhoff" who sent along a clip from the movie that was apparently shown at ShoWest. He didn't say how he came about it and frankly I didn't ask. But what we have here is a web exclusive first look at a scene from Alexander Payne's next film SIDEWAYS. For those who aren't aware (and don't feel bad cause neither was I) here's a brief synopsis from the JoBlo.com preview page for the film: "SIDEWAYS tells the story of Miles (Paul Giamatti), a failed novelist, and his soon-to-be married friend Jack (Thomas Haden Church), a washed-up actor. To salute the remains of their youth, the two men take one last road trip in the week before Jack’s wedding. A serious wine enthusiast, Miles is determined to educate his friend on the region’s beloved Pinot Noir wines before the week is out. Jack indulges his best friend’s passion for the grape but is mainly interested in living his last week of bachelorhood to the hilt. Trouble ensues with wine and women (played by Virginia Madsen and Sandra Oh) and the duo comes to some profound realizations as they come to terms with maturity." Now I must caution you on two things. One, it's kinda weird. But in a good way. Two...full-frontal male nudity. And whether that's in a good way is up to you.
