Most definitely SWIM. Great post to serve a heads-up for the ATCN massive, Biz. To anyone who's interested for the whole story on how 'The Soloist' came about, click the link for an interview below with Steve Lopez (the guy Downey Jr. plays) on Tavis Smiley's talk show.
Cast: Jamie Foxx, Robert Downey Jr., Catherine Keener, Tom Hollander, Lisa Gay Hamilton Directed by: Joe Wright Screenplay by: Susannah Grant Producers: Gary Foster, Russ Krasnoff Executive Producer: Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Jeff Skoll, Patricia Whitcher
Synopsis:
In “The Soloist,” an emotionally soaring drama about the redemptive power of music, journalist Steve Lopez (Oscar® nominee Robert Downey Jr.) discovers Nathaniel Anthony Ayers (Oscar® winner Jamie Foxx), a former classical music prodigy, playing his violin on the streets of L.A. As Lopez endeavors to help the homeless man find his way back, a unique friendship is formed, one that transforms both their lives. “The Soloist” is directed by Joe Wright (Golden Globe winner for Best Drama and Oscar® nominee for Best Picture “Atonement”).
DreamWorks Pictures and Universal Pictures In Association with StudioCanal and Participant Media A Krasnoff/Foster Entertainment Production A Working Title Production
The bad news: It doesn't come out in the UK until February 6, 2009, dammit! 5 months away (just in time to grab an Oscar nod though, methinks!)
