I can't find anything about DGD and Gregg Araki working on a script, but it looks like the Suspiria remake is off.

He's talking about Scott Heim, the author of the original novel, not Araki.

Ah.

How in the world is this a summer movie? Btw, Green's adaptation of Goat was garbage. And dare I say it: Seth Rogen in Kevin Smith's film will be a huge step forward for the Clerks director, and I'm sure it will be ten to 12 times funnier than this shit...

Hopefully Rogan will get some input on the script, Smith badly needs a collaborator at this point in the game.

Did the screenplay circulate at some point?

I read it - or half of it, at least, before I quit my job. I thought the pages I read were excellent, but I can't say how the whole thing turned out.

Hmm... while the writing in that scene is painful, other than the M.M. O'Shaughnessy line which I liked. (hopefully the scene is edited down, and lets be honest, as a Malick disciple, Green's forte is in the editing process), I feel James Franco is at least doing a good job with what he's been given. Hopefully this and Harvey Milk means he finally through doing shit.

The trailer has been posted here. It may be pulled soon, so see it while you can.

Now that looks like a David Gordon Green film.

Yeah, that looks great. I'm pretty psyched.

Still looks far more like a Seth Rogen/Judd Apatow film. But the trailer is at least funny.

Looks just as unbearable as the preview scene, and cribbing a joke the Office did way way better doesn't help anything

Looks ridiculously over the top, just as it should be. Cautiously optimistic, but after Walk Hard anything is possible.

Yeah, it looks good to me too. Let's just hope that all of what we like isn't only in the trailer.

BTW, does anybody know whatever happened to DGG's adaptation of Goat? I assume it was just never picked up to be produced? Exte seems to have read the script as well....

As far as I know, Killer Films pretty much passed. I don't know if it's moving forward somewhere else or not.

I interned at Killer Films last spring/summer and read the script. It sucked. I even asked why they were making it, and got that look like, what is this intern asking? Anyway, I think they're going with someone else already... Wasn't this news a while back?

I don't think a script sucking has ever stopped Killer Films in the past.

It actually looks significantly worse than I imagined after suffering through thirty seconds of the clip posted on page one. I have an extremely difficult time believing anybody here is legitimately excited about this. Snow Angels doesn't look bad, though.

Here's a working Red Band trailer, I assume it's the same as the one posted earlier but now removed.

Now that's a trailer. And I laughed pretty hard. And I'm gonna see it too...

Could be great, could be terrible. That trailer still doesn't shake off bad memories of the original clip.

I really like that trailer, and I think that the use of Paper Planes by M.I.A. is perfect. It looks completely absurd, but there are also several shots that look as if they could have come out of any DGG film (I'm glad to see Tim Orr is the Cinematographer).

I say this with complete sincerity, but I think it's an intriguing idea mixing rather brutal violence (with what the trailer has shown so far) and the kind of humor from "the guys who brought us Superbad".

I totally agree. It sort of looks like Up In Smoke for the post-Die-Hard/Michael Bay generation.
