In another complex family drama, after his internationally acclaimed Sense and Sensibility success, director Ang Lee takes his moving and comic sensibility to the American suburbs of the 1970s in this story about the emotional upheavals that overcome two families during a Thanksgiving weekend in New Canaan, Connecticut. Written by Lee's longtime collaborator James Schamus, adapted from the novel by Rick Moody, the film stars Kevin Kline (The Emperor's Club), Sigourney Weaver (Tadpole, The Guys), Joan Allen (Off the Map), Tobey Maguire (Spider-Man, Seabiscuit), Elijah Wood (Lord of the Rings), Christina Ricci (Prozac Nation), Adam Hann-Byrd (Storytelling), and Katie Holmes (Pieces of April, Abandon). The Newmarket Shooting Script includes the complete shooting script, exclusive notes on the film's production and history by James Schamus and Ang Lee, 20 black and white stills, and full cast and crew credits. |
