'The script, by Chris Sparling (Buried) centers on an American man (McConaughey) and a Japanese man (Watanabe) who meet in the Japan's infamous "Suicide Forest," where people go to commit suicide. But instead of killing themselves, the duo embark on a reflective journey through the forest together.'

 

The script was on the 2013 blacklist.

I hope this actually happens.

Interesting concept and a great cast but Van Sant is hit and miss to me although when he has the right material he can do some great things.

[Hatebox]

Sounds a bit like that Nick Hornby novel A Long Way Down (which was also recently made into a movie) where a bunch of strangers meet at a British suicide hotspot and decide to live a little longer.

 

But hey, it's McConaughey so I'm obviously going to see it.

Did he read the Interstellar script 5 years ago?

[ddddeeee]

Imagine if Keaton wins next year and Watanabe wins the year after. I'll cry.

 

I need a prestige project for Stellan next.

Hmmm...reflective journey.  Could also involved in flashbacks and so on.  It be boring if they just explain to each other why they are there.  I think they should add some vengeful Japanese spirits in there.

[Heat Vision]

This looks intriguing

I read the script last year and it's great.
