《月光男孩》导演巴里·杰金斯日前敲定新片,他将把知名作家詹姆斯·鲍德温的小说《假若比尔街能够讲话》(If Beale Street Could Talk)搬上大银幕,故事设定于上世纪70年代的纽约哈林区,主角是一对刚订婚的年轻情侣芬尼(Fonny)和蒂什(Tish)。芬尼被诬告强奸,而身怀六甲的蒂什将四处奔走寻找证据证明丈夫的清白。梅根·埃里森创立的安纳普尔纳将投资本片,也将和《月光男孩》制片公司Plan B、杰金斯本人的Pastel工作室一同制作本片,10月开拍。
The initial announcement described the movie as “A documentary about branding, advertising and product placement is financed and made possible by branding, advertising and product placement.” Sounds like an interesting, if not gimmicky, concept.
