Shopping time in Cannes! This time we're here to have a little chat about the upcoming TF1 International's project, (they are currently shopping it around at Cannes) that will be titled
The Bras Teapot.
But that's not the only thing we know at this moment! We just learned that lovely
Juno Temple and
Michael Angarano are attached to star in it! Check out the rest of this report to find out more details about this indie-comedy.
Thanks to guys from
Playlist, we know that this movie will be an expansion of a 2007 short, written by
Tim Macy, based on his short story, and directed by commercial and music video helmer
Ramaa Mosley. Both of them are again on board for the feature version, which will be produced by Atlantic Pictures.
Here's a little description that comes from
TF1‘s website:
“A small town in New York State. John and Alice are in their 20s, married, very much in love, and broke. In high school, gorgeous Alice was voted “most likely to succeed” but now she's just trying to make ends meet while her friends are enjoying the good life. Her husband John, neurotic and riddled with phobias, just wants to get the bills paid.
But after they get into an accident and end up at a roadside antique shop, Alice is spontaneously drawn to and shoplifts a brass teapot. It isn't long before they realize that this is no ordinary teapot. It has the power to produce cash, but only when someone feels pain…
Thrilled by this extraordinary source of free money, John and Alice start to figure out ways to hurt themselves, each other and eventually others. But as the pain, both physical and emotional, escalates, John and Alice begin to realize they are on a slippery slope… A magical and offbeat dark comedy, “The Brass Teapot” is also a hilarious fable about temptation and the lengths to which people will go for money.”
The film will be delivered in the first semester of 2012 and as usual, we'll keep an eye on it.
Michael Angarano
