Hopkins' pet project set for October release
Enlarge imageNEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - Anthony Hopkins’ third directing effort, the experimental art film "Slipstream," will begin a limited domestic release on October 26,
The movie, which debuted at the Sundance Film festival in January, centres on a murder-mystery screenwriter (Hopkins) whose characters begin coming to life as his life blurs with his screenplay. His brain begins to implode, captured in the film through a nonlinear, hallucinogenic narrative.
Also on board are Christian Slater, John Turturro, Michael Clarke Duncan and Camryn Manheim.
"Slipstream," which reportedly cost nearly $10 million (5.05 million pounds) to make, marks Hopkins’ screenwriting debut, and he also composed the music.
It will be distributed by Strand Releasing, an indie studio that specializes in gay and lesbian product. Sony Pictures will distribute the DVD next year.
Reviewing "Slipstream" at Sundance, the Hollywood Reporter opined that the film was "amusing cinematic buffoonery" and would have little commercial appeal.
