After starting out as a renowned indie auteur, David Gordon Green veered waaaayyyy over the mainstream cliff with movies like Pineapple Express and Your Highness. But lately it seems like he's drifting back into the other direction. He's got the long awaited Suspiria remake still gearing up at some point, and he also recently shot an low-budget flick with Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch.
Production on Joe is set to begin in November, which could spell doom for the Suspiria remake as it was set to begin at roughly the same time. So we'll just have to wait and see what happened there or if Green can somehow manage both. Seems doubtful, though. Joe seems like a film worth getting excited over. I have a hard time imagining Cage in one of Green's more reflective pieces like George Washington or All the Real Girls, so I'm curious to see exactly what the tone is going to be like.
