Production has begun on ANOTHER BULLSHIT NIGHT IN SUCK CITY. It’s more than just a clever title, it’s a film starring Robert De Niro and Paul Dano.
Paul Weitz is directing the script he adapted from Nick Flynn’s 2004 memoir. The story centers on, “a young writer, Nick (portrayed by Mr. Dano), who takes a job at a homeless shelter – where one night he discovers his long-absent father Jonathan (Mr. De Niro) seeking a bed. Ms. Moore portrays the writer’s mother Jody; and Ms. Thirlby portrays Denise, a worker at the shelter.”
Weitz has been working on this project for awhile, “I’ve been working on this script for seven years, gone through 30 drafts, and I feel extremely lucky to be making this draft, with this cast, at this studio.” Also included in the cast is Dale Dickey (WINTER’S BONE), Lili Taylor (SIX FEET UNDER), Olivia Thirlby (JUNO), and Julianne Moore.
While De Niro was the subject of our “Dear So-and-So” column today, I’d still watch him in anything–except LITTLE FOCKERS.
