Sundance '09: The rumor mill churns
The slate for the 2009 Sundance Film Festival won't be announced until next week, but already some titles are leaking out on the Internet.
The Hollywood Reporter is gushing about "Paper Hearts," an under-the-radar romantic comedy starring Michael Cera ("Superbad," "Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist") and his real girlfriend, comedienne Charlene Yi (who played the stoner girl in "Knocked Up"). The movie is described as "part-documentary, part-scripted comedy," and features several faces from Judd Apatow's troupe of actors (besides Cera and Yi).
The same Hollywood Reporter article lists some other titles that are generating buzz as possible Sundance entries:
Far away from Hollywood, a story in the Salina (Kan.) Journal may have given up another title. In a story about another movie starting shooting in Kansas, the story mentions that the film's director is also executive producer on "The Only Good Indian," a drama starring Wes Studi ("Geronimo: An American Legend") that "recently was accepted into the 2009 Sundance Film Festival."
