It feels appropriate to write this in the dull early morning. Through the window, the trees are nearly bare, the sky flat and gray; it will not change at all until night falls. If Terrence Malick owns a kind of harvest time golden hour, then perhaps Bennett Miller, director of “Foxcatcher,” (our review) owns this slate, damp, late autumnal dawn. It’s the color of the beginning of his feature debut, “Capote," as a car drives up to a house, eerily still amid miles of empty Kansas farmland.

An elaborate midday orgy is interrupted by a murder-suicide. Speed Levitch hotboxes a mental asylum's supply closet. Abel Ferrara curses out a fare as a cabbie in a fur-lined trapper hat.

After making his directorial debut with horror-comedy Hysterical Psycho, Dan Fogler returns behind the helm for his sophomore feature, co-directing the upcoming comedy, Don Peyote.
Fogler and co-director Michael Canzoniero have assembled a brilliant supporting cast to join the former on screen, and in case you’re in need of any persuading, the first trailer has just launched over on Yahoo Movies.
Warren Allman is an unemployed stoner who finally finds a purpose in life after an unpleasant encounter with a homeless man preaching the end is near. Fueled by vivid apocalyptic dreams, Warren becomes obsessed with 2012 doomsday theories and decides to make a documentary on the subject while his fiancé is busy planning their wedding.
Fogler leads the ensemble cast, recruiting Wallace Shawn, Speed Levitch, Abel Ferrara, Pinchbeck, Jay Baruchel, Josh Duhamel, Topher Grace, and of course Anne Hathaway along for the ride.
