Jarmusch, Schwartzman, HBO: Set Your Tivo Now Alert

“I [appeared] in an HBO TV show, a new show called Bored To Death, with Jason Schwartzman and Ted Danson. It’s a comedy show. I think they’re going to start running it in September. — Narrative-bending (challenged?) filmmaker Jim Jarsmuch will make a guest spot on HBO in the fall.

Will this be his most mainstream move ever? Perhaps a concession made to those fans who were wrongly under the impression that his nubilous new picture was going to be hip, cool, enjoyable and comprehensible, or perhaps even about the band Joy Division? It’s hard out there for an arthouse pimp. [AVClub]
