Frank Langella gave a fantastic performance in ROBOT & FRANK and we also know he loves a good indie project. This time, he’s joined by Wes Bentley who’s seemingly gone back to his AMERICAN BEAUTY roots as they’ve given him a camcorder to film beautiful things once again.
His role in THE TIME BEING, however, is a little different as Bentley’s character Daniel is an artist looking to sell his work. The trailer shows us that his career is doing all right but when he meets wealthy Warner Dax (Langella), everything takes a turn for the mysterious and their relationship isn’t what it appears to be. This looks pretty dark, with comments on memory and Langella’s character getting ill and older but it’s great to see Bentley in the smaller films after bigger productions of late.
This Tribeca-produced film is by first time writer and director Nenad Cicin-Sain and also stars Sarah Paulson and Corey Stoll. I always look forward to a distinctive kind of film, so will definitely be keeping an eye out on the festival circuit. Here’s that trailer and scroll down for the poster:
THE TIME BEING is released in the USA on July 26th. There’s no other confirmed dates yet.
