Southland Tales This November!
July 26, 2007Writer/Director Richard Kelly (Donnie Darko) finished the first cut of his sophomore effort, Southland Tales, quite a while ago. He even screened it at Cannes. It did not get a good reception.
After recutting the movie, he’d been shopping it around for distribution and we began to wonder if we’d ever get to see this sucker in theatres.
November 9th that question will finally be answered with a resounding “Yes.” That’s when Southland Tales hits theatres. Officially.
Here’s the synopsis courtesy of the IMDb:
Southland Tales is an ensemble piece set in the futuristic landscape of Los Angeles on July 4, 2008, as it stands on the brink of social, economic and environmental disaster. Boxer Santaros (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) is an action star who’s stricken with amnesia. His life intertwines with Krysta Now (Sarah Michelle Gellar), an adult film star developing her own reality television project, and Ronald Taverner (Seann William Scott), a Hermosa Beach police officer who holds the key to a vast conspiracy.
For those that don’t know, Kelly released a series of three graphic novels to serve as a prequel to the film. You can purchase them online:
