The one-sheet for Jodie Markell’s “The Loss Of A Teardrop Diamond” is out and it’s stylish, gorgeous and perfectly captures the aesthetics of the film, which are quite beautiful, including look, costumes, cinematography and music.
Now the film itself, uhhh, that’s another story. It’s not due in theaters until December 30, 2009, so we should probably lay off on a review or badmouthing it, really, but… let’s just say Bryce Dallas Howard is not all she’s cracked up to be (if she’s cracked up to be at all).
Chris Evans is surprisingly not bad and Ellen Burstyn is always great (and it’s a small role, but character actor Will Patton is always reliable too).
Oh, right, what’s it about? It’s a based on a Tennessee Williams play.
THE LOSS OF A TEARDROP DIAMOND is a new drama based on a recently rediscovered original screenplay by legendary writer Tennessee Williams. Starring Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Evans, the Paladin release will open in New York and Los Angeles in late December, with expansion to major markets following in early 2010. Academy Award-winner Ellen Burstyn, Academy Award-nominee Ann-Margret, Mamie Gummer, and Will Patton co-star in the film which was directed by award-winning short filmmaker and stage and screen actress Jodie Markell, in her feature debut.
Here’s the trailer.
