Больше подробностей о фильме:
Today, we’re here for a little update because director has just added Mark Duplass, Dianne Wiest, Ayelet Zurer and Sam Shepard to the cast.

So, we already had a litte chat about this story, but, thanks to the full press release, we have the official details:

“Darling Companion is the story of a woman who loves her dog more than her husband. And then her husband loses the dog. On a wintry day, Beth (Keaton) saves a bedraggled lost dog from the side of the freeway.

Struggling with her distracted, self-involved husband Joseph (Kline) and an empty nest at home, Beth forms a special bond with the rescued animal.

When Joseph loses the dog after a wedding at their vacation home in the Rockies, the distraught Beth enlists the help of the few remaining guests and a mysterious young woman (Zurer) in a frantic search. Each member of the search party is affected by the adventure, which takes them in unexpected directions – comic, harrowing, and sometimes deeply emotional.”

Director Kasdan explained: “It’s a struggle to reach this older audience. They’re out there dying to go to the movies but it’s harder to get them to come the first weekend. It’s harder to penetrate with advertising. Anything harder is not on anyone’s agenda anymore.”

The film will be produced by Anthony Bregman, Elizabeth Redleaf and Lawrence Kasdan, while Christine Walker, Meg Kasdan and John Kelly will serve as executive producers.

Darling Companion is scheduled to start shooting within the next week, in Utah.

A couple of interesting developments on the local film front.

Minneapolis-based Werc Werk Works, the indie production company headed by Elizabeth Redleaf, will co-produce “Darling Companion,” writer/ Lawrence Kasdan’s third film chronicling the Baby Boom generation, following "The Big Chill" and "Grand Canyon.”

Kevin Kline stars (for the sixth time in a Kasdan film) alongside Diane Keaton and Richard Jenkins in the comedic drama about a woman who loves her dog more than her husband. And then, as they visit their vacation home in the Rockies, her husband loses the dog. The ensuing search takes them in surprising directions - comic, upsetting, and sometimes deeply emotional.

Shooting commenced last week in Utah on the project, the fifth production for Werc Werk Works. The company's most recent title, the Allen Ginsberg biographical drama "Howl," opens locally on Oct. 15.

Meanwhile, word is filtering back from the recently completed Toronto Film Festival about Josh Hartnett’s latest, a seriously weird action/animation fantasy titled “Bunraku.”

It’s a futuristic tale of revenge, set in a world that has long outlawed guns, where scores are now settled by the fist and the sword. Hartnett plays a drifter who joins an uprising against an evil gang lord (Ron Perelman). Demi Moore, Woody Harrelson and Japanese pop superstar Gackt also appear, but the film’s real star is reportedly its candy-colored production design, which emulates paper cut-out stop motion, pop-up books and Japanese style Bunraku origami puppeteers.

Here's hoping the stunt crew were prepared for paper cuts.

Не за что))) Что будет делать в фильме Джош? Искать собаку? Или он будет тем счастливчиком, к которому собака прибежит сама?

К свадьбе готовится? 

Инди-проект - это наше ФСЁ... 

Куда-уж дальше? До финиша?   

Похоже, компания, снимающая фильм основана в родном Миннеаполисе.  Со стороны Джоша, участие ради участия - чистой воды альтруизм, имхо.
