Martin Scorsese does a horror picture and it looks pretty good. No gangsters, but we still get a deep dish serving of Leonardo DiCaprio’s Boston accent and a creepy Sir Ben Kingsley. The trailer looks promising. The whole thing is based on a novel written by Dennis Lehane (Mystic River) and should be pretty good. (This is the point where I drop the fact that I’ve met the author.)
Also: a preview for The Burden is up and once we get word from the 48 Hour Film Project we’ll put the whole thing up. I’m excited about this, the entire project was like making a haunted house. There’s something very satisfying in playing with things we fear and trying to illicit a response from the audience. Hopefully we did well.
