New adaptation of O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey Into Night."

Awesome. Harris and Foster as father-son seems like a no brainer match, I'm surprised they hadn't been paired before!

Colossal news!! Lange in this role.... Damn.

Kate H. gives one of my favorite perfs... ever, in the 62 movie.

I seem to recall we had talked about a potential film adaptation after she had won her Tony. So clearly we weren't the only ones thinking it. I'm just scared that it might be too stagey.

But we are in dire need of Ben Foster to get his first nomination (I think that in a non-slapgate world, he'd be in the running this year for Emancipation) and Academy Award winner Ed Harris needs to be spoken into reality.

New York Times: 'Filming Eugene O'Neill When the Elements (and Investors) Don't Cooperate'

I think your hyperlink was accidentally this thread and not the NY Times piece.

C’mon Ben, get that Oscar.

I wonder if this might wind up getting pushed to 2024. The current strike means that there won't be much promotion on the horizon (which will affect film festivals as well; Venice and Telluride especially will feel the loss the most), and as far as I know it doesn't have a US distributor. And with a surfeit of Best Actress contenders, they might decide to hold off on it until 2024, when the field looks a bit thinner.

Agreed. Especially as I don't see a quick and easy resolution to the strike. I think the Emmys will do what happened in 1980 and most of the nominees not attend (the year Powers Boothe famously crossed the picket line to accept his Emmy), Venice and Telluride will likely be ghost towns as far as Hollywood goes, and I think that changes the dynamic a great deal for the season. Someone like, say, Ryan Gosling gets a hell of a boost for having all of his promotion happen right before the strike, and he can remain in the public consciousness for quite a while and hold onto traction.

pacinoyes - Thank you so much for tagging me - Lange is such a brilliant, fascinating person - I look forward to savoring this interview. 

Very disheartening news about the film, though...  I certainly hope an agreement can be made to bring it to cinemas. 

She's lost to very good performances like Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman but she would be a 2 time winner in my books as well just not for the ones she won for.


I think itll be hard for her to win for this tho. They're desperately trying to get Ronan an Oscar.

I can see something ridiculous like Kate Winslet's run where they try to campaign her for both categories with The Outrun in lead and Blitz in supporting.
