Ironweed



Francis Phelan (Nicholson), a drunken former baseball player is running away from life and the painful, guilty memories that haunt him. Helen Archer (Streep), is Francis’s longtime girlfriend and partner in drink. Together they lament the misery of life and ponder their tragic pasts, hoping to find a way to free themselves from their troubled lives. Told in a series of drunken flashbacks, Ironweed is a dark portrait of depression-era hopelessness and a searing character-driven drama.

Happy go Lucky DVD COVER

DVD Bonus Features
• Audio Commentary by director Mike Leigh and actress Sally Hawkins
• Happy in Character – Director Mike Leigh and the cast of Happy-Go-Lucky discuss the characters, story, process and creation of the film.
• Behind the Wheel of Happy-Go-Lucky – A behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the film’s “studio on wheels,” and a conversation with cast and crew about what it was like to to shoot so many crucial scenes behind the wheel of a car in actual traffic.

Synopsis
School teacher Poppy (Sally Hawkins) approaches every day with an optimism and joy that is unshakable. When the bicycle she commutes to work on is stolen, Poppy simply signs up for driving lessons. Her teacher, Scott (Eddie Marsan), is a fuming, uptight cynic who channels his anger into hilariously inappropriate episodes of road rage. But neither Scott, her bitter pregnant sister, a fiery flamenco instructor or a class room bully can change the Happy-Go-Lucky girl’s “glass half full” world view in writer-director Mike Leigh’s funny, truthful and deeply life-affirming film.

From the director of LA MUJER DE MI HERMANO (MY BROTHER’S WIFE), and the writer of VOCES INOCENTES (INNOCENT VOICES) comes MÁNCORA, a tender and pulsating road-trip drama that delicately traces the shifting emotional boundaries between three disconnected souls.

MÁNCORA introduces us to Santiago, a 21-year old from Lima who is haunted by his father’s recent and unexpected suicide. Suffocating in the chill of a grey Lima winter, Santiago decides to take refuge in MÁNCORA, a beach town in the north of the country where summer never ends. Right before his departure, Santiago receives an unexpected visit from his stepsister Ximena, a vibrant, sexy Spanish photographer and her husband Iñigo, a brash art-collector from New York.

The tranquility of their getaway is quickly shattered by a powerful act of boundary-crossing and betrayal, which threatens to transform their relationship forever and turn Máncora into a paradise lost.

ROBERT RODRIGUEZ TO DIRECT AND WRITE NERVERACKER

Friday, February 20th, 2009

From the Press Release

Robert Rodriguez (Sin City, Spy Kids) is back in business with Dimension Films. Rodriguez’s next project will be the futuristic action thriller Nerveracker, which he is writing and directing. The announcement was made today by Bob Weinstein, co-chairman of The Weinstein Company.

Nerveracker is set in the year 2085 and centers on the character Joe Tezca, part of an elite unit who is sent in to stop a crime wave amongst a perfect futuristic society. In the process, he discovers that “Nerverackers” are on a rampage for control of the city. Tezca consequently sets forth on a mission to reveal the cover up by the ruling class and stop the “Nerverackers” before time runs out. Nerveracker is set for an April 16, 2010 release.

Bob Weinstein stated: “My relationship with Robert started over fourteen years ago with From Dusk Till Dawn, and since then we’ve worked on a dozen films together. Robert has been an integral part of Dimension’s growth and success and I’m looking forward to being back in business with him on Nerveracker. With movies like Desperado, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Spy Kids, and Sin City, Robert’s vision is always one step ahead and I think that is what Nerveracker will be.”

“This is one of those projects that we dreamed about making for years, and now the timing is right to finally do it,” stated Robert Rodriguez. “Bob has always been encouraging and shown genuine excitement for my ideas. That gets me pumped to make them realities.”
