Thanks Candy

Only a very slightly more detailed synopsis but exciting just the same 🙂

From the film’s production company Elara Pictures. The writing is a little hard to read, so have highlighted the text in my screencap:

We have SO much to look forward to 🙂

Thanks to @ropcr for the heads up.

Lol I have to admit I didn’t notice that Good Time changed from “script” to “preproduction” because I was surprised by The Trap appearing on Rob’s page.  So thanks to @JustMaria for pointing it out.  But I did notice that Lost City of Z is also now listed as “Filming”.  Happy Days!

 

IMDbPro has updated to add Elara Pictures as the production company.  According to Deadline back in April 2014:

“Heaven Knows What is the first feature under the Safdies’ Elara Pictures production banner, which the duo launched with partners Sebastian Bear-McClard and Oscar Boyson. Elara is set to produce multiple indie features per year, committed to giving complete creative control to each project’s director”.

Info was also included in the latest issue of Production Weekly via:

“Prod Weekly (Issue 954 preview, July 16th) shows a Sept 2015 start of production, no location or other cast listed as of yet”

It’s nice to see this on IMDbPro regardless of what some think of its accuracy.

 

I’ll just go and add it to our “Good Time” Film page.

According to The Wrap:

“Robert Pattinson has been cast in “Good Time,” a new caper film from indie filmmakers Josh and Benny Safdie, an individual with knowledge of the casting told TheWrap Thursday.

Pattinson will play a bankrobber named Connie who is trying to evade the police as they close in on him. Sebastian Bear-McClard of Elara Pictures is producing, while Josh Safdie and Ronald Bronstein wrote the script.”

The Hollywood Reporter:

“Robert Pattinson will star in the neo-grindhouse caper Good Time, which will be directed by Josh and Benny Safdie.

The indie film centers on a bank robber’s flailing efforts to evade the dragnet closing in on him. Pattinson will star as Connie.

Josh Safdie and Ronald Bronstein wrote the script for the film, which will be produced by Sebastian Bear-MCclard of Elara Pictures.

The Safdie brothers (pictured below), who recently signed with WME, are indie filmmakers whose most recent project, Heaven Knows What, is in theaters. The critically acclaimed film following a young heroin addict (Arielle Holmes) who finds love in the streets of New York was released by Radius-TWC. It won the C.I.C.A.E Award at the Venice Film Festival and also played at the Toronto Film Festival and New York Film Festival.

The directing team’s indie projects include Daddy Longlegs, which played at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival and the 2010 Sundance Film Festival; the doc Lenny Cook, which followed a star high school basketball player and played at Tribeca and Venice before airing on Showtime in February 2014; and their debut feature, The Pleasure of Being Robbed, which premiered at SXSW in 2008 and also played at the Cannes sidebar Directors’ Fortnight before airing on IFC.”
