Southland Tales

Cerpin Taxt · 09-27-2005, 01:57 AM

Richard Kelly, of "Donnie Darko" fame, is coming out with a movie next year called "Southland Tales". It has a huge star-studded cast (The Rock, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Seann William Scott, etc.), and is part of an odd storytelling project of Kelly's that involves releasing 6 graphic novels that detail the story, as well as a huge flash-based website.

Without giving too much away, the story takes place during the 4th of July weekend in LA in 2008, and is about a guy named Boxer (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) who can't remember the past 2 years of his life. He has a script with him that he's researching with an LA police officer (Seann William Scott) about the end of the world. His girlfriend, Krysta Now (Geller), a (former?) porn star, is trying to cash in on all of this somehow. It's way deeper than that, and involves many themes that deal with things such as the oil industry and the War on Terrorism, but I can't say any more without getting too much into deatil.

A friend of mine had a small walk-on role with about two lines in the movie, and he finished filming his scene about a week ago. He sent me a copy of the script, and I must say that it has to be the strangest thing I've ever read in my life. When this is made into a movie, it will be possilby the most bizzare yet awesome movie made in a long time. It combines action, comedy, sci fi, and even musicals, all in some interesting, cohesive yet bizzare way.

Has anyone else heard about it?

Yeah, I heard about it, when Kevin Smith and Kelly were doing the commentary for the Darko directors cut. Smith said something about helping, is there any truth to that?
