Director Rawson Marshall Thurber acknowledges the weird arc of his career, which started with the very commercial "Dodgeball" and has brought him to Sundance with his second picture, "The Mysteries of Pittsburgh."

The movie is an adaptation of Michael Chabon's coming-of-age novel about a recent college grad (Jon Foster) who enters into an unusual relationship with a hard-partying couple (Sienna Miller and Peter Sarsgaard).

So when an audience member at Monday morning's "Pittsburgh" screening asked Thurber what's next, he said, "My next movie is 'Magnum, P.I.,' so it's a clear follow-up."
