Another New Project for Rob?
I’m so hoping this is true. Rob with Phillip Seymour Hoffman – seriously I might just pee my pants. Remember when Phillip thought he could get away with the beanie at the Oscars.  I absolutely loved him in 25th Hour with Ed Norton – no I love Phillip S-H in everything he does pretty much.  Jesus – please be true.
According to The Wrap:
“Benaroya, who co-produced “Margin Call†last year, is fully financing “Kill Your Darlings,†a $4 million thriller with Daniel Radcliffe and Michael C. Hall about young beat poets Allen Ginsburg and Jack Kerouac and a murder.
And he’s also financing the $11 million “Hate Mail,†with Scarlett Johansson, Robert Pattinson and Philip Seymour Hall [Maria: surely this is a typo and it’s Hoffman) . And he executive produced “The Paperboy,†also screening in competition in Cannes.
That’s a lot of money to be throwing down. Benaroya, apart from noting that he’s only lost money on one movie he’s made thus far, said he likes to gamble.
“I’m a serious poker player,” he said. “People like to underestimate me: ‘You look 25. You look like a nice guy. I’m gonna take you for everything you’ve got.’ They’re often surprised when they don’t.—
According to IMDBPro
And here’s an article from Variety in September 2011:
“Writing-directing team Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden, who became darlings of the indie scene following “Half Nelson” and “Sugar,” have set their next picture, a drama titled “Hate Mail.”
Project will be fully financed by Wayfare Entertainment, which previously produced Fleck and Boden’s adaptation of Ned Vizzini’s novel “It’s Kind of a Funny Story.”
“Hate Mail” will feature interweaving stories about several Manhattanites who encounter various iterations of hate mail and grapple with the subsequent fallout of their relationships.
…”
Will keep you informed.
PS. Rob we could give you some advice about receiving hate mail.
