Despite the fact that his best works always had that tinge of independence that distanced him from the big studios, Gus Van Sant insists on bringing his stories to the heart of mainstream cinema. This is demonstrated by his new project, restless, that will have the support of Columbia Pictures
After the excellent Paranoid Park and the interesting and political Milk; the American filmmaker, producer, screenwriter and writer will shoot this youth film with script by Jason Lew and produced by Imagine Entertainment.
The history of Restless will be set today and will tell the life of a young couple who fall in love in the city. Although there is nothing confirmed, it is talking about Bryce howard dallas as a likely female lead.
The idea is to start filming soon, in Oregon, with a somewhat limited budget for Hollywood royalties: about $ 15 million (which somehow guarantee some creative freedom).
we hope that van sant May you keep your freshness and originality on this project, and add another great movie to your career.
