Whose heard of the Duplass Brothers, Jay and Mark?! I'm not surprised if you haven't, but if you live in Austin and/or love indie films you need to check out their work. Most notably, they have made The Puffy Chair and Baghead. They operate in a genre of indie films called mumblecore, which is highlighted by the frequent use of digital video cameras. Anyways, in their next film they team up with Jason Reitman, who has brought you most recently Up In The Air, as the producer of this project.
The film is called Jeff Who Lives At Home, a stoner quest-comedy. According to an interview the brothers did with movieweb.com, the movie features "a stoner who is looking for wood glue." They go on to say, "This was the movie we were made to make." Sounds awesome. These guys are like midas, whatever they touch turns to indieGOLD.
If your looking for a little Duplass action before Jeff Who Lives At Home comes out in early 2011, be on the look out for Cyrus which should be hitting theaters sometime late this year. The movie's cast includes Marisa Tomei, Jonah Hill, John C. Riley, and Catherine Keener, it's centered around a recently divorced man who meet's the woman of his dreams, then meets her son. Sounds pretty interesting, but if you don't want to wait add The Puffy Chair and Baghead to your Netflix queue or head down to your local movie-renting place and pick up these classics.
