"Grace is Gone" first film sold at this year's Sundance

[Flaxbee]

Produced by John Cusack (who hasn't done much of anything intersting in ages -- hopefully this will change things!) and his "New Crime Productions" company. Cusack also stars in the movie.

Park City, Utah. On the day after the war in Iraq claimed the lives of another 20 American servicemen, it seems fitting that John Cusack's story of the husband of a US Marine killed in Iraq should prove to be the first film sold at this year's Sundance Film Festival.... <snip>

Grace is Gone was created by Cusack and writer/director James Strouse to use dramatic form to show the American people a reality that the Bush administration has kept off our television screens - the image of coffins returning from Iraq. <snip>



Sounds good.

1. And that's one of the lighter films at the festival

I've read there are some really dark films - one with Samuel L. Jackson chaining Christina Ricci to a radiator, and one where Dakota Fanning gets raped.

2. No I'm not. I'm right here. Did John Cusack even *look* for me?

Sheesh.
