McAvoy, Banks, Linney join 'Details'
James McAvoy, Elizabeth Banks, Laura Linney and Anna Friel are set to star in “The Details,” a black comedy scripted and directed by Jacob Estes.
Story concerns a couple, to be played by McAvoy and Banks, who discover an infestation of raccoons in their back yard. Disagreements over how to deal with the animals lead to an escalating series of events.
Lensing is set to begin this summer in Seattle.
Mark Gordon is producing alongside Bryan Zuriff and Hagai Shaham.
The film is the first for Estes since his 2004 thriller “Mean Creek.”
Estes was hired to rewrite another script for Gordon, who read “The Details” and boarded the project.
Gordon’s producing the upcoming Roland Emmerich-directed “2012” for Sony and a Fox 2000 drama based on Patricia Cornwell’s series of Dr. Kay Scarpetta novels.
Gotham-based shingle Ergo Films is financing the project. ContentFilm is handling worldwide sales.
McAvoy, Banks, Linney and Friel Head to Seattle for ‘The Details’
Variety reports James McAvoy, Elizabeth Banks, Laura Linney and Anna Friel have joined the cast of The Details with Jacob Estes set to direct. Estes hasn’t directed a film since the 2004 thriller Mean Creek, a film that gained some traction in a few corners, but didn’t really light my fire.
Details is a black comedy penned by Estes centered on a couple (McAvoy and Banks) who discover an infestation of raccoons in their back yard. Disagreements over how to deal with the animals lead to an escalating series of events.
The film is actually going to be lensing in my sunny city of Seattle this summer. Might have to try and track down producer Mark Gordon and tell him to save me a seat and a cameo. I’m 6′ 6″ but I think I can pull off playing a raccoon… or maybe one of the trees they are climbing in.
