Everything Is Connected

There are at least nine other pictures I could have picked to illustrate this post about John August’s The Nines – but that wouldn’t have been that much fun (Ryan Reynolds, how I love you).

August, the screenwriter of Go, the Charlie’s Angels movies, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, makes his directorial debut with this indie consisting of three short stories following a troubled actor, a television showrunner, and an acclaimed videogame designer who find their lives intertwining in mysterious and unsettling ways.

The Nines also features Hope Davis and Melissa McCarthy (TV’s Gilmore Girls). It is out on limited release now. Look for it.
