Request for Question Clarification by juggler-ga on 02 Dec 2004 10:38 PST

Hi,
The film seems to be untitled at this point, but I have found some
tidbits of information (e.g., very brief plot descriptions).  Would
you be interested in that information?

Clarification of Question by suzyk4321-ga on 02 Dec 2004 11:16 PST

I will take the tidbits, thanks....can I keep my question on
for further info when it becomes available?  Or would that
be considered another question?

Hello.

The movie is a "sad comedy" about "an over-the-hill playboy who goes
back to visit his early loves and is forced to reassess his life." 
The film is "set in suburban or smalltown America."

As you probably saw in the IMDB.com entry, the film is directed by Jim
Jarmusch and features Murray, Stone, Jessica Lange, Tilda Swinton and
Chloë Sevigny.

From a November 13th article in the Guardian:

'Jarmusch tells me about the film he's currently working on, which he
wrote for Bill Murray and is kinda funny and kinda sad. Only he can't
quite bring himself to tell me about it, because he's superstitious
and thinks that will jinx it.
...
Elmes is currently working with Jarmusch on his new film: "Bill Murray
plays an over-the-hill playboy who goes back to visit his early loves
and is forced to reassess his life." That's more than Jarmusch would
tell me.'

From the White Plains Journal News:
"Murray... began working on the new Jim Jarmusch-directed film about a
guy who tracks down his old girlfriends."

From a Timeout interview with Jim Jarmusch:

"And the new movie? ?I don?t like to say too much while making a film,
but it?s a sad comedy written for Bill Murray and set in suburban or
smalltown America. It has Jessica Lange, Tilda Swinton, Jeffrey Wright
and, believe it or not, Sharon Stone. It?s a really great experience,
but I?m already exhausted. I remember Dennis Hopper saying: ?You know,
it?s as hard to make a bad film as a good one. Making films is just
hard.? And each time I forget how it?s going to be.? "

There are a few photos of Murray and other cast members under the
heading, "October 27: Fessenden wraps untitled Jim Jarmusch project,"

I hope this helps.  Although the question is now "answered," it will
still be open to comments, so as new details emerge, they can be added
here. Thanks.

I only gave a 3. Not because the researcher didn't try, just because
there wasn't much available information. I appreciate the try. 
Thanks!

hint: imdb

thank you for that...very little details written there.
seems very mysterious!

my cousin actually worked on this film. He was up in  Yonkers, NY. I'm
 sure he's got some info.

Cool....I'd appreciate it if you asked him.
I'm mostly interested in why they had an Animal Communicator in the movie.
It's an interest of mine, as I am one myself!  Thank you!
