I just added Labor Day to the Books to Read Before You See the Movie page
Based on Joyce Maynard's novel of the same name, the movie went into production last June in Massachusetts. The film was shot in locations around the state, folks in Acton were so excited to have the movie crew in town, they created a video. Visit Acton Patch and check out their page and the video.From acclaimed author Joyce Maynard comes a beautiful, poignant tale of love, sex, adolescence, and devastating treachery as seen through the eyes of a young teenager—and the man he later becomes."
The Movie log line: "Depressed single mom Adele and her son Henry offer a wounded, fearsome man a ride. As police search town for the escaped convict, the mother and son gradually learn his true story as their options become increasingly limited."
Kate Winslet gets dolled down for Labor Day |
Kate Winslet is Adele, Josh Brolin is the wounded man, Henry is played by two young actors of 13, and 16 and then by Tobey Maguire as the adult Henry. James Van Der Beek is onboard to play a detective investigating the case.
Jason Reitman is directing; I love what he did with Walter Kim's Up in the Air- Reitman not only directed, he co-wrote the screenplay with Sheldon Turner - this one sounds equally intriguing.
No wonder the Kate's character Adle is depressed - just look at that depressing outfit! I have never seen the glorious Kate Winslet looking so dowdy! You know what that means - serious acting - and probably a transformation.
I'm now adding Labor Day to my TBR pile! How about you; have you read it yet?
