Posted: 7/15/10 at 11:37amI can only hope we'll have freed the surviving Manson family by then- those poor poor people, still being persecuted for something that happened SO long ago!

Posted: 7/15/10 at 11:46amPolanski is a brilliant filmmaker, I can't wait to see this. Haven't read the actual article, not sure if it mentions anything about casting but I wonder if the original cast is being considered or is likely to be part of the film or if other actors (who are bigger names) are being pursued. I'd love nothing more than to see Marcia Gay Harden and Hope Davis reprise their roles, but I'd also be open to the likes of Julianne Moore, Annette Bening, Toni Collette, et al playing the two women (I thought the men in the play had the most one-dimensional roles).
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"

I'd add Laura Linney to that list, ray.
Oh! Kate Winslet and Laura Linney. I'd KILL to see that.

I wonder what kind of "all"-kind of casting they'll use.
I'm excited for this movie. I wonder what would be added. Maybe they'll start the movie with the actual fight betweeen the children.

Posted: 7/15/10 at 12:26pmI'm assuming that, seeing Polanski is a master at conveying claustrophobia, it's going to be a filmed play rather like his DEATH AND THE MAIDEN. I wonder if it wouldn't be better being filmed in its original French.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 7/15/10 at 12:52pmIt will be Meryl and Glenn shot through gauze and vaseline. It will be bigger than Davis/Crawford.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Well, it IS Roman Polanski we're talking about.
Then let's leave it at Polanski and not bring in the murderers who took the lives of innocent people. It's not funny, nor witty or clever. It's no laughing matter.

Heh.
I'll leave JoeKv to explain his own work, but methinks Carlos missed something there.
#20Polanski to Bring GOD OF CARNAGE to the Big Screen in '11
Posted: 7/15/10 at 1:30pmYes I did. My afternoon cafe con leche hadn't kicked in and the intention when straight OVER MY HEAD. I just re-read it with from a clearer perspective. So yes, I do apologize to JoeKV because I own up to it when I'm wrong. The misinterpretation was mine.

Posted: 7/15/10 at 1:32pmNot that he shouldn't be in jail wasting all of his time anyway, but this movie is really a waste of his time. The script is soooo friggin' thin. Sort-of fun showcase for a few great actors to have a good time with onstage, I guess. It really does not need a movie, especially one directed by the guy who made easily the best movie for adults of 2010 so far.

Posted: 7/15/10 at 1:33pmINcidentally, Leslie Van Houten was up for parole this week. Anyone know what happened with that?

Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

When one uses satire on a message board, one always runs the risk of being misinterpreted.
I do hope when Roman talks to the press next someone asks him if Charles Manson and family shouldn't be granted the understanding and mercy that he himself was the beneficiary of.
