Gus Van Sant’s little-seen first movie is showing at the IFC Center. We’re excited. It’s been MIA for years. Here’s the trailer. Criterion hints that they will have the DVD later this year.
Update: Gus Van Sant will direct the adaptation of Tom Wolfe‘s ’60s hallucinogenic classic “The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.” The story of a cross-country road trip that “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” author Ken Kesey orchestrated with his group, the Merry Pranksters, Van Sant has been a longtime fan: he cast Kesey in 1993’s “Even Cowgirls Get The Blues,” and dedicated 2002’s “Gerry” to Kesey, who died the year before.
