Billy Crudup to ‘Eat’ in for Columbia
Actor joins Julia Roberts starrer ‘Love’
By MICHAEL FLEMING
Billy Crudup has joined “Eat, Pray, Love,” the Columbia Pictures adaptation of Elizabeth Gilbert’s bestselling memoir that stars Julia Roberts, Javier Bardem and Richard Jenkins. Ryan Murphy is directing a script he wrote with Jennifer Salt. Crudup will play Steven, who is married to Gilbert (Roberts). His hopes to have children are dashed when her quest to get pregnant leaves her feeling she is not living the life she wants. She embarks on a journey of self-discovery around the world. Brad Pitt and Dede Gardner are producing through Plan B. Pic begins shooting next week. Credit: Variety
Cinematical Seven: Non-Chick-Flicks by Women Directors
7. Jesus’ Son (1999, Alison MacLean)
Here I considered American Psycho (2000, Mary Harron), but I decided to go with the lesser-known Jesus’ Son, even though I liked it slightly less than I liked American Psycho (horror films were already well-represented on this list). Based on Denis Johnson’s masterful short story collection, it’s a dreamily disconnected series of misadventures featuring a junkie called FH (short for f–khead) played by Billy Crudup. Directed by Alison MacLean, it’s surprisingly emotionally assured and not as gory or preachy our outrageous as you might expect a drug movie to be. Its only flaw is the semi-circular structure that keeps going past its sell-by date and into a dreary, less fun rehab sequence. Despite this, the film is filled with fine performances (including Samantha Morton and Jack Black), a sure touch and many memorable moments.
