While a handful of films have already been announced for the SXSW Film Festival in March (which runs 5-17), the Austin-based cinema fiesta revealed a few more films recently. Added to the festival are Harmony Korine’s “Mister Lonely,” which stars Diego Luna and Samantha Morton as Micheal Jackson and Marilyn Monroe impersonators; “Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay,” and “The Battle Of Seattle” which features Outkast’s Andre 3000 among an ensemble cast.
Also newly announced are the rival supermarket manager comedy “The Promotion” starring John C. Reilly and Seann William Scott and the and a live-action/animation feature called “The Toe Tactic.”
Previously revealed films include, Simon Pegg’s “Run Fatboy Run,” and the cinéma vérité founders, the Maysles brothers documentary, “Wild Blue Yonder,” directed by the deceased-brother David’s daughter Celia Maysles. You’ll recall that Albert Maysles has seemingly gone senile having agreed to direct a documentary about Fall Out Boy.
The full SXSW Film Festival line-up will be revealed February 5.
