Spend ‘A Night With Adam Green’
If you’re an Adam Green fan living in the Los Angeles area, prepare for an early Christmas. On March 18th, at the New Beverly Cinema, Green will take a break from editing the long awaited Hatchet 2 and join cast members (including Kane Hodder) to introduce a screening of their latest film Frozen and talk about its production. But wait – there’s more! Not only will Green also be screening some of his hilarious shorts (the epic “Jack Chop”, perhaps?), but he will also show his first film Coffee & Donuts, which has not been shown publicly for over a decade! A comedy shot for 400 dollars, the film has never been released for distribution, and it’s a good chance that this may be the only time it ever shows in a movie theater, if at all. Tickets are on sale now HERE, get them ASAP as this show WILL sell out!
Described as “Ted meets ET,” David Mikalson’s raunchy comedy Goblin is being brought to life over at A24, and Will Forte (“The Four Seasons”) is now in talks to star.
Deadline first reported the news this afternoon.
Kenneth Branagh has been cast to voice the titular Goblin in the upcoming A24 movie, with the character said to be “green-colored” as well as “anatomically correct.”
Skyler Gisondo (Superman) is reportedly playing the Goblin’s human best friend.
The mysterious project sounds a bit like films including A Gnome Named Gnorm and more recently, Frankie Freako, though it’s important to note that it’s not billed as a horror movie.
Deadline details, “After [Mikalson] hatched the idea to make an outrageous buddy comedy about a goblin, using a practical puppet and operating outside the Hollywood system, his script quickly got him a rep team. While others might have eyed the raunchy comedy as a writing sample or planned to wait to see the micro-budget version Mikalson has been directing in Kentucky, A24 jumped all over it. The hot indie essentially has agreed to finance a full feature.”
“There was a lot of interest, but A24 came with what Mikalson really wanted, after spending all his money crafting the puppet title character: they acquired the movie and agreed to let him make it with a significantly increased budget than what he had left after creating the anatomically correct title character,” Deadline’s report goes on to explain.
What does the titular Goblin actually look like? Well, a cake that Mikalson had whipped up for his reps might give us our first look at what to expect. Deadline explains the photo you’ll see down below, “Take a look at the cake he commissioned with Marc Gravelle at Cake Art in West Hollywood, to present to his reps as thanks for making his dream come true.”
