New film and clips from tonight’s Raising Hope
So yeah, if you’re on Twitter, this won’t be news. Garret is shooting a Lifetime film called Talhotblond. Courteney Cox is directing and Laura San Giacomo is in it, too. You can find a couple of BTS pics on Twitter (pic 1, pic 2). This is how Cox described the film to USA Today last month:
The film, “is a true story about two people falling in love on the Internet, but no one’s who they’re supposed to be,” she says, visibly excited describing the project at her Coquette Productions office in West Hollywood. “There’s a murder out of jealousy. It’s a really interesting documentary. It’s a great role for a guy – and it’s not your typical battered woman.”
Note: the title is a screen name, it’s spelled TallHotBlonde in the script, and that’s how the casting director calls it, but I’m going with the director’s version for now. From her description, it sounds like the film is based on the 2009 documentary Talhotblond, which was based on a true story (wild guess, Garret plays the guy with the moustache):
Elsewhere, Raising Hope 2×18 “Poking Holes in the Story” airs tonight at 8 pm. Sneak peeks:
Any Day Now & Revenge for Jolly! at Tribeca
The official lineup for the Tribeca Film Festival has been announced today. Any Day Now will be screened in the Spotlight section and Revenge for Jolly! in the Cinemania section.
Tribeca’s 2012 Film Guide won’t go live until mid-March so no screening dates yet, but you can find general ticket information here.

Revenge for Jolly!
Directed by Chadd Harbold, written by Brian Petsos
(USA) – World Premiere, Narrative
Harry (Brian Petsos) will stop at nothing to avenge the death of his beloved dog, Jolly. He and his demented cousin Cecil (Oscar Isaac) follow a series of clues in a frenzied attempt to track down the dog’s murderer, leaving a path of destruction in their wake. Elijah Wood, Kristen Wiig, Adam Brody, Ryan Phillippe, Gillian Jacobs, Bobby Moynihan, Kevin Corrigan, David Rasche, Amy Siemetz, and Garret Dillahunt all stand between Harry and revenge for Jolly.
Any Day Now
Directed by Travis Fine, written by Travis Fine and George Arthur Bloom
(USA) – World Premiere, Narrative
In the late 1970s, when a mentally handicapped teenager is abandoned, a gay couple takes him in and becomes the family he’s never had. But once the unconventional living arrangement is discovered by authorities, the men must fight a biased legal system to adopt the child they have come to love as their own. Alan Cumming and Garret Dillahunt star in TFF alum Travis Fine’s (The Space Between) touching and occasionally incendiary drama.
New interview and some film updates
Raising Hope moves to the 8 pm slot this Tuesday and Garret said he’ll be promoting it left and right this week. So far, only one interview showed up, at Raising-Hope.us, and it’s the one he did for What’s Worth Watching a few days ago (see pic).
Katy Perry guests in this week’s episode. You can find an interview with her and Shannon Woodward at Hope for Fans. Promotional pics are here: “Single White Female Role Model.” I’ve also added pages for the next two episodes — “Spanks Butt, No Spanks” (March 13), “Poking Holes in the Story” (March 20) — and for the three films that have been missing from the site: Headhunter, Any Day Now and Revenge for Jolly!
The full lineup for this year’s Tribeca Film Festival hasn’t been announced yet, but Garret says that both Revenge for Jolly! and Any Day Now will be screened there next month. The festival runs from April 18 to April 29 this, so if you’re in New York around that time, you’d better catch them both.
Elsewhere on the film front, the first footage from Looper will be shown at Sony’s panel at WonderCon in Anaheim in a couple of weeks. From Comic-Con.org: Continue reading
Release date for Cogan’s Trade
Collider and several other sites report that Cogan’s Trade will be released in theatres on September 21, 2012. From the looks of it, it will also be screened at the Toronto Film Festival earlier that month:
This would put the film slightly after the Toronto International Film Festival, and so the flick could make a showing at TIFF to build some buzz and maybe start an awards run. The film stars Brad Pitt as a mob enforcer who’s tasked with investigating the robbery of a high-stakes poker game. The film also stars Ray Liotta, James Gandolfini, Richard Jenkins, Richard Jenkins, Ben Mendelsohn, Scoot McNairy, Bella Heathcote, and Sam Shepard. The September 21st date will set the movie against the Judge Dredd reboot, Dredd, the animated family comedy Hotel Transylvania, and the thriller The House at the End of the Street. — Collider
