Jack Black & Shirley MacLaine Cast In Richard Linklater’s ‘Bernie;’ Shooting In East Texas This Fall

Katie Walsh — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 20:26:00 +0000

As we reported back in early June, Richard Linklater was picking himself up and dusting himself off from the kick in the dirt that was the shelving of both his girls-on-a-road-trip Obama inauguration flick “Liars A-E” and “That’s What I’m Talking About,” the spiritual sequel to “Dazed and Confused.” He wrote his intended rebound project, “Bernie,” based on a true-crime story out of East Texas that Linklater wrote 10 years ago. And when we spoke to Linklater he described the project as, “my ‘Fargo’ in East Texas, where I grew up, so it’s crazy local with fifty characters.

Richard Linklater Says ‘Dazed & Confused’ Sequel “Just Sitting There”; Hopes To Do ‘Fargo’-Esque True Crime Story Next

Edward Davis — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 15:04:00 +0000

If there’s a ratio of affability to asshole on the karmic scale, something has really gone out of wack for filmmaker Richard Linklater in recent years, one of the most genial people in the industry who deserves some better luck.

In the last year, the filmmaker has had two projects go by the wayside (the spiritual sequel to “Dazed & Confused” which was shelved last summer, and the roadtrip buddy dramedy, “Liars A-E” that went under when Miramax collapsed) and one basically limp into theaters on a tiny and minuscule release (“Me & Orson Welles,” which only grossed $1.7 million despite a much bigger budget — though note the Box-Office Mojo estimated budget seems way overinflated).

Richard Linklater’s ‘Liars (A-E)’ Becomes Miramax Casualty

Rodrigo Perez — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:34:00 +0000

Oof. We were just thinking about this one last night. Richard Linklater is having a rough go of things. His spiritual sequel to “Dazed & Confused,” a college ’80s film titled, “That’s What I’m Talking About,” was shelved earlier this year and now another project, the political rom-com “Liars (A-E)” — that status of which we asked last night is at where exactly? — has been deep-sixed as well.

It was a rom-com project over at Miramax with Scott Rudin producing about a woman (Rebecca Hall) who retrieves lost items from her ex-boyfriends as she is on her way to President Obama’s inauguration.

Richard Linklater Says He’ll Try His ‘Dazed & Confused’ Spiritual Sequel Again One Day

Rodrigo Perez — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 07:07:00 +0000

Richard Linklater’s spiritual sequel to “Dazed & Confused,” a college film set in the ’80s called, “That’s What I’m Talking About” was going to be his next project earlier this year, but the Austin-based filmmaker soon realized the inhospitable film climate was not going to green light the project and the picture was shelved in the summer.

Collider got a chance to sit down with Linklater promoting his latest film, “Me & Orson Welles,” and the director said that he still hopes to get the film off the ground, but as previously noted, said it’s not a proper sequel and features all new characters (even though Matthew McConaughey was hoping to find a part in it; we’d sort of die for him to reprise his ‘Dazed’ role).

Richard Linklater’s “Spiritual Sequel” To ‘Dazed And Confused’ Shelved

Simon Dang — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 17:03:00 +0000

Richard Linklater’s proposed “spiritual sequel” to “Dazed And Confused” has reportedly been shelved, according to the Risky Biz Blog.

The buzzed-about-script titled “That’s What I’m Talking About” was reportedly facing financing problems but is now simply a victim of the current volatile times. Despite having interested financiers, none were prepared to board the project in this “rocky finished film market” until a distributor was signed. Adversely though, distributors are not prepared to back a project which is only in the script stage of development.
