I'm excited about The Homesman! It's based on Glen Swarthout's award winning western novel about Mary Bee Cuddy, a feisty spinster and former teacher who, along with a low life, George Briggs (Tommy Lee Jones). The cast is really enticing; Hailee Steinfeld, James Spader, John Lithgow, and Grace Gummer - she's inherited at least some of her mom's acting genes - is Arabella Sours, the best character name ever! Mom Meryl Streep also plays a role. Jones directs and had a hand in with the script. My son has turned me on to some classic westerns from the likes of Ford, Hawkes, Leone, Peckinpaw, and Eastwood so Jones has pretty big, make that HUGE, shoes to fill! Moreinfo as we move forward; The Homesman screens May 21 at Cannes, in August at Telluride with a limited release set for October 3rd.
Heres the films set for Un Certain Regard and the balance of the Cannes screenings - so excited for Lost River, Ryan Gosling's directorial debut!
