Opening Ceremony Goes To Japan: Jason Schwartzman

Thanks to Tara from Dazed Digital for the heads up about this!

From Dazed Digital:

In the second film commissioned by Opening Ceremony for the launch of their Tokyo store; director Matt Wolf shows actor and musician, Jason Schwartzman experiencing the solitary thrills of kite flying, soundtracked by a wistful indie-beat. “Humberto Leon and I have been friends for a long time. And Humberto and Jason are also good friends and had recently seen my film Wild Combination: A Portrait of Arthur Russell. So Humberto thought to connect Jason and myself to work together on this project.”

Paramount Dumping Todd Louiso’s Marc Pease Experience

From First Showing:

Never heard of The Marc Pease Experience? Exactly. The Playlist caught up with director Todd Louiso recently and got an altogether discouraging update about the expected release of his latest film. The Marc Pease Experience is an indie comedy that stars Jason Schwartzman, Ben Stiller, and Anna Kendrick. It was produced by Paramount Vantage and was ready to be released in 2008. Unfortunately that studio was shut down and merged into Paramount proper last year, leaving the film gasping for air. And now after a year of waiting, it’s being dumped into 10 cities in late August, not including New York or Los Angeles.

Schwartzman plays Marc Pease, a man 10 years out of high school and still living in the past when he was the star in his high school’s musicals. During the course of one day, as Pease’s former teacher/mentor Mr. Gribble (Stiller) oversees the opening night of another show, Pease finally exorcises his demons and realizes there’s more to life than Broadway artistry. Sounds a bit like a mix of Rushmore and Hamlet 2, but not necessarily in a good way. Schwartzman is good, but he’s no Steve Coogan. I’d love to see it, but apparently it’s just “too expensive” to promote this in NY and LA and they don’t want to spend any money on it.

“It’s been really hard to accept that role [of just waiting helplessly for the thing to come out]. To have complete control over it and then to have no control, and give it over, it’s been tough,” Louiso said. The small handful cities in which The Marc Pease Experience will debut in on August 21st are: San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia, Miami, Dallas, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Seattle, Sacramento, and “maybe” Boston. Paramount hasn’t released any photos, posters, or even a trailer (besides a few on The Playlist). It’s baffling that they can release a film with almost no marketing at all, but that’s the exact definition of “dumping.”

It also never made it into any film festivals (although I’m not sure if they even tried to get in anyway). For all we know, it could be terrible and not even worth seeing. But considering I like to give every film the benefit of the doubt, especially an indie comedy like this, I’m remaining optimistic until I hear otherwise.

Interview: Jason Schwartzman on Pilgrim and Fox

With this week’s release of Funny People, the Fall HBO series Bored to Death, The Fantastic Mr. Fox due out on November 13th and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World currently in production, Jason Schwartzman is currently one very busy actor.

Talking via satellite from the Toronto, Canada set of Scott Pilgrim, during the Television Critics Association Press Tour, Jason Schwartzman gave an update on filming, as well as hinted at what to expect from the animated adaptation of the Roald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) novel, The Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Q: Can you give an update on Scott Pilgrim vs. The World? Is it nearing completion?

Jason: Scott Pilgrim is going along very well. They have been shooting since March, and they have maybe about a month to go. I have been up in Toronto, since finishing Bored to Death in June, and I’m having a great time.

Michael Cera is incredible. And, Edgar Wright, who is directing it, is incredible. There is a very good feeling up here, and I think it’s going great.

Q: What can you say about The Fantastic Mr. Fox?

Jason: The Fantastic Mr. Fox is coming this Fall. It was another great adventure with Wes Anderson, and I am just happy to have worked on that. I’m very happy to have these great things in my life. I feel very, very lucky.

Q: Have you seen that yet? Does it look like you imagined?

Jason: I have seen The Fantastic Mr. Fox, and it’s even more fantastical than I could have imagined. It’s so beautiful, and I’ve just never seen anything like it. I feel like it’s for everyone, of all ages. It’s for children and adults.
