Y’dig?

from Ask Travers – the Rolling Stone film critic

I can’t wait to see what Johnny Depp and director Michael Mann do with the John Dillinger gangster saga Public Enemies. But there’s lots more: Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island, Joel and Ethan Coen’s A Serious Man, Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones, Ang Lee’s Taking Woodstock, Steven Soderbergh’s The Informant, Paul Greengrass’s The Green Zone, Clint Eastwood’s Playing The Enemy, Terrence Malick’s Tree of Life, Rob Marshall’s Nine, Judd Apatow’s Funny People, Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Homes (with Robert Downey, Jr.), Pedro Almodovar’s Broken Embraces, Jim Jarmusch’s The Limits of Control, Mira Nair’s Amelia, Lone Scherfig’s An Education, Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are, Todd Solondz’s Forgiveness, Woody Allen’s Whatever Works, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s Biutiful, Wes Anderson’s animated The Fantasic Mr. Fox, and James Cameron’s decade-in-the-making Avatar. It’s looking like a hell of a year (at least on paper). As for book question, I agree about Shantaram—Johnny Depp has been trying for years to get it made (so far no luck). As for me, I’ve been waiting to see what kind of trip director John Hillcoat takes with Cormac McCarthy’s masterful novel The Road. I’ll finally get my wish this year.
