More “Wilson” Movie News
Fox Searchlight Pictures announces:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CRAIG
JOHNSON DIRECTS “WILSON” STARRING WOODY HARRELSON,
LAURA
DERN, JUDY GREER, AND CHERYL HINES
FOR FOX
SEARCHLIGHT PICTURES
LOS ANGELES, CA June 25, 2015 – Fox Searchlight Pictures President
of Production Claudia Lewis announced today that a new production has begun
principal photography in Minnesota. Craig Johnson (THE SKELETON TWINS)
directs WILSON, starring Oscar nominee Woody Harrelson (“True Detective,” THE
HUNGER GAMES), Oscar Nominee Laura Dern (WILD, “Enlightened”),
Judy Greer (THE DESCENDANTS, JURASSIC WORLD), and Cheryl Hines (“Curb Your
Enthusiasm,” “Suburgatory”). The screenplay is by Oscar nominee Daniel
Clowes (GHOST WORLD) based on his graphic novel of the same name. Mary
Jane Skalski and Jared Ian Goldman are producing. The film
is shooting on location in the St. Paul area.
“I've been a fan of Dan Clowes' cartoons and writing for years,”
says Johnson. “I own all of his comic books and graphic novels, including
Wilson, so when I got the script, I couldn't quite believe it. It's a
privilege to be working on a project of this pedigree -- a project written by
Dan Clowes, starring Woody Harrelson and Laura Dern and brought to life by Fox
Searchlight. I'm honored to be part of it.”
"Dan Clowes' script embraces elements that are funny,
touching, charming and sweet. This film has everything, including Craig
who is one of the most precise and smart directors around. It will be a
joy to bring Wilson to the big screen," said producers Skalski and
Goldman.
"Woody Harrelson as “Wilson" is casting nirvana, and we
are thrilled to be working again with Laura Dern, Judy Greer and Cheryl Hines.
We're especially excited about the pairing of Craig Johnson's cinematic
style with Dan Clowes’ sharp and distinctive voice,” said Lewis.
Harrelson stars as Wilson, a lonely, neurotic and hilariously
honest middle-aged misanthrope who reunites with his estranged wife (Laura
Dern) and gets a shot at happiness when he learns he has a teenage
daughter (Isabelle Amara) he has never met. In his uniquely outrageous
and slightly twisted way, he sets out to connect with her.
