I read the book and it was not that great. Certainly not as touching as it could have been, given the death of his wife. There was no \”love interest\” following her death either. Scarlett Johanson and Matt Damon is yuck- inducing. Couldn\’t they find an actress in her mid-30s at least if they felt the need to make one up.

Scar Jo is striking in those shots.

At first I was worried about Crowe not writing this one, since he\’s always been sort of a writer who directs instead of a director, but I think he\’s actually come a long way as a visual filmmaker, and Elizabethtown found him indulging his worst tendencies as a writer…so maybe directing someone else\’s script isn\’t a bad thing (and naturally, I\’m sure he did rewrites, or at least made notes about which Who deep cut would play in which scene).

I haven\’t read the script, but Damon + Crowe + December + \’Devil Wears Prada\’ Writer certainly makes it something that the Academy folks will keep an eye out. If Damon gets folks to break out their hankies, he could be in the running. The Oscars love a good cry.

Contender may be too strong, but it\’s definitely a \”hopeful.\” Then again, I haven\’t read the script, and KJ probably has.

The premise sure sounds retarded. Not as much as the titular character\’s name though. Mee? WTF.

None of this is interesting in the least bit and I also doubt it will be contending many awards.

Calling this thing \”sure to be Oscar contending\” seems WAY hopeful given the unknowable depths of awfulness Elizabethtown achieved, the long layoff, the fact that Crowe really probably never was all that great in the first place, and the only one of the two 2k11 docs he\’s finished so far could only muster opening TriBeCa, not somewhere better.

I think this film is going to be garbage and I wouldn\’t expect it to come even close to contending for Oscars.
