Fast Food Nation: full of stars, and sold to Fox
Filed under: Drama, Independent, Casting, Distribution, Cinematical Indie
The IMDB profile for the highly under-wraps Fast Food
Nation is still suspiciously sparse, but there's a press
release going around today that's leaking a wealth of information. Is it still called Coyote? That's
unclear, but production has apparently been completed on the Richard Linklater drama inspired by Eric Schlosser's
non-fiction expose, and here are two things about it that we didn't previously know: the film will be distributed by
Fox Searchlight, and it costars both grizzled veteran Kris Kristofferson, and young fauxpunk Avril Lavigne. Will the
two of them join forces with producer Malcom McLaren to form some
kind of supergroup? We're keeping our fingers crossed.
