Xixax Film Forum

Somebody posted this on imdb. Now i'm not gonna believe anything yet, but here's what this fella had to say:

i've heard that the new film is an adventure movie that runs something like this in at least these early stages: Prescot Smothers (Philip Seymour Hoffman) finds a dead body (Samantha Morton) in the middle of the street late one night. Her cell phone a few feet from her body is ringing. Smothers picks it up to hear her pimp (Orlando Jones) yelling obscenities. Smothers says he's found her dead body in the street and the pimp says he will pay him to take her to him. Smothers loads her in the car and she wakes back up. Trouble ensues from there. This may all be hearsay but the hear also says that it will feature PTA all-stars Julianne Moore and John C Reily. This sounds like PTA's boy Tarantino is influencing his stories as much as he is in turn influencing QT's camera movements (that over the wall long take with the 5678's or whatever is off the chain) What have you guys heard?

hmmmm......

Morton starts filming a movie in February, so she probably won't be available until this summer....

Prescot Smothers.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

pta has worked with orlando jones before on magnolia. but a chunk of his stuff was left on the cutting room floor. i guess if this is true then i think pta is just doing orlando a favor like he did mary lynn rajskub a favor in punch-drunk love.

It sounds...intriguing.

Then his next movie should have Paul F Tompkins

I think it sounds like crap.

i don't

I'd see it.

Me too

guys

It'll probably place on the next Xixax Dekapenticon.

yknow, the premise sounds a little loose and lousy and really, I can't believe it. Then again, that whole Pudding/Phone Sex rumor turned out to be real when it seemed pretty stupid!

sounds intriguing, promising even.

I love the idea of PSH in the lead. Don't like that character name, though...

I would hope it's more of a thriller/adventure, in the vein of a Fincher movie (The Game?), than a comedy/adventure in the vein of Lebowski or Punch-Drunk Love. ... I want to see PTA try something new.

of course he'll try sumthing new, even if this is the premise (he can do better), it says nothing of the bulk of the movie. has no one watched his previous films? this new one is the one where he is supposedly free, or at least at peace with the big demons. who the eff knows.. just don't expect a ______ 2.

replace piano with hooker. replace mattress man with pimp. replace silly name 1 with silly name 2. Replace Doe-eyed actress 1 with Doe-eyed actress 2. Keep the movie beginning with somebody finding something intriguing in the middle of the street.
So this seems like "the same thing over again". But yaknow.
If this IS the plot...it would be cool to see an artist put a spin on something they've already done, like a Parallel Universe story that is not announced or expected. Awesome.
That's just the wishful thinking of a fanboy!

yeah and magnolia is the parallel universe to punch drunk love because barry finds a harmonium at the beginning but his name isn't barry and he doesn't find a harmonium he gets executed

I say it's bullshit in the first place.

Here's what this guy said when asked where the hell did you get this from:

that's a fitful mixture of various sources. mainly, second hand (maybe third!) information from my friend who works for joanne sellar. she told him. he told me some of the casting choices and minor plot points. the rest you can find in the britsh mag empire magazine, the pt anderson vs. lars von trier interview in black book, and if you refer back a few years to around the time magnolia came out, mr anderson did and interview with rolling stone where he talks about how great he thinks adam sandler is and how he'd like to do a "missing persons" story of [correction: not pimp-hooker] a drug dealer's missing girlfriend. it's all there. you just have to see it. you just have to see it.

So i guess we just have to see it, eh?

We have to see it.
