Wait, so, there are plot details to Malick\’s new film other than it being \”more experimental and non-narrative\”?

Can we possibly get some more info on that, or where we could read up on it?

Thanks!

Yeah, that $100 protein bar thing was clearly a crock of shit. I don\’t believe such things even exist, unless they\’re wrapped in pure gold or something.

Reading that Wrap story back, I wonder if the crazy experimental stuff Lubeszki hinted at will come from Affleck\’s character seeing visions of a ghost. In many ways the story looks by far his most plot/character-driven since Days of Heaven, but it sounds like he is going to mash things up in the editing suite as usual.

Top marks for your Tree of Life coverage recently, dudes. Been by far the best place to come for info/opinion.

Oh yeah, we\’ve addressed that piece a loooong time ago (it was from last fall). We didn\’t take it seriously then because a) it made Rachel Weisz\’s choice of protein bars a vital part of the story and b) because as we all know, Malick isn\’t one to stick rigidly to his scripts. And considering that the film is now said to even more non-narrative than \”The Tree Of Life\” we\’re presuming Malick is going in new directions.

Jessica Chastain\’s part was added in the midst of production and for all we know both she and Baker could wind up being cut.

And yeah, we clearly missed Baker at the time, his name hasn\’t really cropped up since, so it\’s just a fresh reminder for folks out there.

Sorry Kev, but this was revealed in the Wrap\’s story that contained a lot of the plot details a few months ago. I think Baker\’s character is a love rival for Affleck or something like that.
