New Movie: Nine Lives

After watching and thoroughly enjoying Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her at the 2002 Darren Keeny Film Festival, I am rather looking forward to this just announced follow-up: Nine Lives.

From Hollywood Reporter:
"Helmer Rodrigo Garcia has his hands full with a big-name cast for his latest effort, the indie drama "Nine Lives." The project, produced by Julie Lynn through her Mockingbird Pictures, is shooting in Los Angeles. The story is a series of vignettes, offering glimpses into the lives of nine women, played by Kathy Baker, Amy Brenneman, Elpidia Carrillo, Glenn Close, Lisa Gay Hamilton, Holly Hunter, Amanda Seyfriend, Sissy Spacek and Robin Wright Penn. Their stories are rounded out thanks to additional cast members including Stephen Dillane, Dakota Fanning, William Fichtner, Jason Isaacs, Joe Mantegna, Ian McShane, Molly Parker, Mary Kay Place, Sydney Tamiia Poitier, Miguel Sandoval and Aidan Quinn."

Baker, Brenneman, Close, Hunter and Place all appeared in Things You Can Tell. It seems only Calista Flockhart and Cameron Diaz are not returning for Nine Lives. Interesting to note several new cast members: Robin Wright Penn and Sissy Spacek are both currently appearing in A Home at the End of the World and Amanda Seyfriend was the girl with the psychic boobs in Mean Girls. Things You Can Tell was a festival favorite that debuted on Showtime, but has had an enduring cable life, but hopefully Nine Lives gets the theatrical release it deserves. The new film is being co-produced by Alejandro González Iñaritu, the director of 21 Grams.
