New Project: Nobel Son

Keri · 07-10-2006, 09:01 AM

The old forum had a great thread packed with info, so check here first

This is what Eliza herself had to say about this new project at Wizard World in Oct 2005

Quote:

I'm working on a movie called "Nobel Son" about a dysfunctional family. The father, played by Alan Rickman, wins the Nobel Prize. I play City Hall, and insane asylum escapee. Bill Pullman, Danny Devito and Peter Boyle are also in it.

And according to this article Nobel Son will hopefully get a release at the Toronto Film Festival in September.

wow lol i can really really agree with you on that bill (edit...lol billy? :P sorry bout that). its like 94 here at night but it still feels like 100. the sooner the months pass, the better!!

Apparently the confirmed list of films for Toronto wont be made available until the end of August, but the good news is a friend of mine is going, and *if* Nobel Son is showing has promised to see it and bring me back a press pack

I'd love to find out a bit more about Eliza's role... City Hall is based on Jody Savin, which interests me... anyone have any tidbits?

lovely_disaster · 07-20-2006, 11:02 AM

sorry for always asking you what this means and that, but whats a press pack? does it come with...pictures and stuff?

Keri · 07-20-2006, 11:21 AM

Yes, lots of information about the film and pics too usually.

I've got ones for 'City by the Sea' and 'Bring it On', they are just quite nice collectibles I think.

eliza'snumber1fan · 07-20-2006, 11:35 AM

yes keri there really nice to collect, ive a wrong turn press kit

Phobos · 07-20-2006, 04:07 PM

So this isn't going to be on the big screen? But rather a play?

Keri · 08-07-2006, 05:49 AM

No, its a movie.

I forgot to post this the other day. There was an interview with Alan Rickman in The Scotsman newspaper last week and he mentioned Nobel Son.

Quote:

He has also made a low-budget American indie movie, Nobel Son, a darkly comic tale of a dysfunctional family in which he plays a Nobel prize-winning American physicist. "He's an egomaniac beyond belief. It was terribly enjoyable to play, like going back to panto. All I knew was I needed wonky teeth, so I got my dentist to make me a set. I got on the plane with no character and a set of overlapping teeth."

I think this is the first time I've seen the movie referred to as a a darkly comic tale... interesting. Maybe we'll get an OTT performance from Eliza?

thanks keri for the update

darkly comic tale, mmm sounds interesting. cant wait too see this film.

08-07-2006, 05:59 AM

Its been called a Drama/Comedy before, but the word darkly does make it sound a lot more appealing

. Actually, I think NS is the film I''m looking foward to the most...

Keri · 08-07-2006, 06:00 AM

I can't wait either Si, I missed Eliza in an insane asylum in Dog Sees God so I'm hoping this performance will make up for it!

Aphrodite · 08-07-2006, 02:10 PM

What does OTT mean, Keri? And crazy Eliza is always the best Eliza, IMO!

08-07-2006, 03:08 PM

OTT = Over the top

I think I remember Trevor from EDO once saying that Elizas dad described her as a 'ham'

lovely_disaster · 08-07-2006, 03:52 PM

lol a ham, im not quite sure if thats a good thing.

how do you get one of those press packages?

Keri · 08-07-2006, 07:41 PM

Either become or know a journalist or keep an eye out for them on ebay or in film memorabilia shops
