Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot is the new Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting (1997) co-written and directed movie/biography about John Callahan, a young man who became paralysed after a car accident at age 21, and turned to drawing as a form of therapy.

Joaquin Phoenix, Jonah Hill, Jack Black and Rooney Mara star…

This one looks like an impressive Phoenix performance. I’m excited to see what Jack Black and Jonah Hill bring to the film; two comedy men who are equally good in dramatic roles.

Having not heard of John Callahan until now, maybe this film will treat us to some great drawings. Lastly, I just noticed that the three main male actors all have ‘J’ names. Random useless fact. That’s all.

Beth Ditto and Udo Kier also star.

The Sea Of Trees stars Matthew McConaughey, Naomi Watts and Katie Aselton.  It’s also the Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting (1997), Milk (2008) directed movie that was famously booed at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.

Based on this trailer, I’d never have guessed this movie didn’t turn out well. All I’m sure of at this point, considering that love, grief and suicide are key themes, is that a laugh a minute is unlikely to be words used to describe anyone’s experience.

My true reaction before realising that this is the movie that was booed was: ‘Yeah! Another Matthew McConaughey movie,’ and it stars Ken Watanabe too; an actor whose face I’ll always be glad to see because of his great work in one of my all time favourites, Inception (2010).

I’ll likely give this movie a chance. Certainly not promising that I’ll make it to the very end, but I feel I must at least try. How about you?

The Sea Of Trees Release Dates: August 26th, 2016 (US)…
