Noah Baumbach was already somebody when The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (which he co-wrote) opened, because his Kicking and Screaming was quite a good flick. With the Wes Anderson collaboration, he became part of something unique in Hollywood. A truly fresh and fun creative arsenal, one which will surely yield more fruit, especially if his The Squid and the Whale is as good as people are saying.
It won the Screenwriter’s Award at Sundance. It won the Director’s Award at Sundance. It features a fun cast including the always reliable Laura Linney, Jeff Daniels, Roger Dodger‘s (and Cursed!) Jesse Eisenberg, and…
WILLIAM BALDWIN!
The slightly autobiographical tale about Baumbach’s own childhood, the film opens in October but CHUD.com has the world exclusive of the one-sheet, a nifty little number featuring the leads and a cat who is staring directly into our souls. Neat stuff.
And Wes Anderson lovers, he produced the film so you might as well keep October 7th clear on your Team Zissou day planner.
