Henry Golding has joined the cast of the adaptation of Chuck Klosterman’s Downtown Owl, the directorial debut of Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater.
The project, which is currently filming in Minnesota, comes from Sony’s Stage 6 Films label. Golding will appear alongside Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Finn Wittrock, Jack Dylan Grazer and August Blanco Rosenstein, as well as Rabe.
Linklater penned the screenplay based on Klosterman’s New York Times best-selling novel, which takes place in the fictional town of Owl, North Dakota, which is semi-isolated from the 1980s pop culture that surrounds it. The story follows three residents — an old man who spends his afternoons reminiscing in the local coffee shop, a depressed high school backup quarterback and a new English teacher at the local high school — whose lives, along with those of the town’s other residents, are upended by a whiteout blizzard.

Behind the camera, David Lynch is a certified phenomenon. In front of it, he remains a little more enigmatic. His cameo credits (“Louie," “The Cleveland Show” and that time they appeared to run out of cast members in “Twin Peaks”) are pretty incongruous with his usual brand of provocative art, and lend a further wacky dimension to his already surreal public persona. Now, he has committed himself to be directed by his daughter, Jennifer Lynch, in a new indie, “A Fall From Grace”, executive produced by Jory Weitz. Ms. Lynch, whose “Boxing Helena” proved something of a critical punchbag, co-wrote the script with Eric Wilkinson. It will be a detective thriller in which Tim Roth is a St. Louis homicide agent in pursuit of a serial killer whose young victims keep cropping up on riverbanks, Laura Palmer-style. Lynch Sr., who will play Roth’s father, remarked upon working underneath his daughter,...

Director Jennifer Lynch.s new horror film Chained will be playing at 7pm at the Tivoli this Friday night as part of the St. Louis International Film Festival. Lynch, who will be in attendance, has lived through her own horror stories the past couple of decades since making her directorial debut in 1993 with Boxing Helena. The dark comedy about a doctor who removes the limbs of his shapely neighbor and places her in a box on his dining-room table, was critically savaged, a financial flop, and led to a highly-publicized lawsuit involving its original star Kim Bassinger. Ms Lynch then went through a series of painful spinal surgeries, the result of being hit by a car when she was 19. It was fifteen years before she was able to mount another directorial outing with Surveillance (2008), a mind-bender about the quest for truth in a...

Tim Roth is currently busy cramming in as much movie-viewing as he can in between meeting with his fellow judges on the Un Certain Regard jury in Cannes. But he’s also locked in a new starring role, signing on to lead Jennifer Lynch’s new film, A Fall From Grace.The movie, written by Eric Wilkinson, finds Roth as a homicide detective tracking down a serial killer. But there’s more to it than that, according to the director. “It’s about a lot of dark, taboo issues, but it’s really a drama about wounds,” Lynch tells The Hollywood Reporter.She’ll be hoping for better luck than with her last effort, Bollywood horror action thriller Hisss, which faced major issues during production (chronicled in documentary Despite The Gods) and arrived to poisonous reviews. The director also has serial killer thriller Chained awaiting release.Roth will next be seen in Arbitrage and Broken.

Starting with her first feature, Boxing Helena, Jennifer Lynch has demonstrated the same unflinching attitude towards subject matter that would make most folks run as her father, the legendary David Lynch.

It isn’t easy for an artist to thrive in the same field as their successful, let alone legendary parent, but with a few movies under her belt and this latest news coming in, Jennifer Lynch looks to be doing okay. As THR informs us, the filmmaker is getting ready to move forward on her fourth film, A Fall from Grace, which she’s written with Eric Wilkinson; the story centers on “a homicide detective tracking a serial killer along the Mississippi River who burns his victims.” Apothecary Films are producing.
When commenting on the project, Lynch said this about the screenwriting process: “I’m not sure what demons of my own I may have been exorcising, or if I simply felt more challenged by such a darkness. But I truly feel something intense and different was at work here.” Co-writer Wilkinson, meanwhile, revealed that his inspiration came from an...

Though she’s got a few films under her belt, Jennifer Lynch hasn’t exactly enjoyed the easiest time of it in her career. Boxing Helena didn't exactly set the world alight, and her last film, snake-woman horror Hisss, vanished off the radar with little success and barely got released over here. While she has the thriller Rabbit awaiting release, she’s ploughing on to the next, setting up A Fall From Grace. The script, which Lynch wrote with Eric Wilkinson, follows a detective tracking a serial killer who burns his victims along the Mississippi River. It’s partly based on Wilkinson’s trip to the abandoned Old Chain of Rocks Bridge, which stretches over the river near St Louis, and which was the site for a grisly double murder.“It has been an incredible process, writing this piece,” says Lynch in a statement, which got sucked into the Hollywood Reporter’s news hoover.
