The A.V. Club did a monster interview with Garret a few weeks ago and it’s up on their site today. You can read it here.
Among other things, he mentions doing a cameo in Cogan’s Trade, the Jesse James reunion (Andrew Dominik, Brad Pitt, Sam Shepard) that wrapped filming the other day in New Orleans.

Looks like Oliver Sherman will be hitting the road again in the next couple of months. From Eye on Films:
Besides Hungary, we are pleased to announce that OLIVER SHERMAN will also participate in the US EoF festival:
Seattle International Film Festival (19 May – 12 June)
and will be released in France by Kanibal Films (Arnaud KERNEGUEZ) after an avant-premiere at Festival Paris Cinema (2-13 July 2011).
And it’s only the beginning!…
With more than 30 partners in 15 countries all around the world, the Eye on Films project is a guarantee of festival exposure and commercial exploitation, for OLIVER SHERMAN and other titles soon to be confirmed in the EoF selection.
Oliver Sherman will be shown at the Titanic Film Festival in Budapest this month (April 8 & 16). More details at TitanicFilmFest.hu.
The film also has a distribution deal in Hungary and France under the new Eye On Films initiative. Eye on Films is a “unique, global network of film professionals, which guarantees the circulation of a selection of first feature films in festivals partners in Europe and third countries, and the commercial exploitation of these films by distribution partners in Europe and third countries.”
Not sure if this means more festival screenings or theatrical release, or both, but for now there is a list of Eye on Films’ distribution and festival partners on the EoF site. They’re probably the ones who are the most likely to “circulate” and “commercially exploit” the film in Europe and elsewhere.
Oliver Sherman will be one of the narrative features shown at IFFBoston (Independent Film Festival of Boston, April 27 – May 4). Film Threat has the full line-up and you can keep checking the festival’s official site for the schedule and tickets.
There is a new interview with Garret at Poptimal.com today. Most of it is about Raising Hope, but he also sheds some light on his new project, among other things.
The new film, Looper, is a sci-fi thriller in which – wait for it – people from the future use time travel to terminate other people from the future by sending them back to the past where they are greeted by Loopers (killers hired by gangsters from the future) and their cool looking guns. Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt play the same guy at two different points in time and other familiar mugs include Paul Dano, Emily Blunt, Piper Perabo, and Jeff Daniels.
Here is what Garret says about the film:
Poptimal.com: You’re growing a beard?
Dillahunt: I am. I’m on my way to New Orleans to do this film called Looper with Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Emily Blunt. I’m very excited and nervous about that.Poptimal.com: Why nervous?
Dillahunt: Because I’m fans of those guys. It’s a really cool story; it’s a sci-fi thing so it’s kind of back in my normal wheel house.Poptimal.com: Can you tell us more about it?
Dillahunt: It’s set in the future. It involves a lot of time travel and I get to have a cool gun fight with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Emily Blunt. I’m looking forward to it. – Poptimal.com
