John Hillcoat’s Next Courting Amy Adams for Female Lead, Retitled The Promised Land?
/Film —
... Collider just ran their final collection of sales art and info from AFM, and way at the bottom of a long post is a rather plain sales sheet for The Promised Land. Unless Hillcoat has come up with another next project for Cave, LaBeouf and Gosling, that’s the retitled Wettest County. I got quite excited that some of these deals were locked in until I read the fine print: “credits not contractual”. So it’s still in the fundraising process and this cast may not come together, though Hillcoat has optimistically talked about shooting this ...

... , presumably as two of the three wild protagonists: the Bondurant brothers who ran a small moonshine dynasty in depression-era Virginia. More evidence this is happening soon comes via Collider 's vast collection of AFM posters trying to entice buyers and lenders to fork over cash to fund various projects. The last batch they received reveals that Amy Adams is attached to the cast meaning ...

... on The Wettest County in the World which has suddenly transformed their name to The Promised Land. The John Hillcoat directed movie has not only supposedly gone through a change of the title but also who is in the movie. Shia LaBeouf and Ryan Gosling are both in the movie, but what was not highly known is who the female lead actually was. Originally Scarlett Johansson was set to be in the Millennium Films and Nu Image feature but with the newly discovered poster from Collider it appears that Amy Adams is on board instead. ...

... picked up on some info in a poster snagged by Collider at AFM, which confirms that Hillcoat's next film will be called The Promised Land , a change from the title of the novel he's adapting, Matt Bondurant's The Wettest County in the World . While it had been previously reported that Scarlett Johansson would star alongside Shia LaBeouf and Ryan Gosling as a pair of bootlegging brothers during the Depression, it now seems that Amy Adams has taken her place. The real question remains which role Adams will play, given that the original novel doesn't contain much of a female ...

... But you can see in the fine print that “credits are not contractual,” so all of the actors are not officially attached at this point.
I think this project has plenty of potential. I loved Hillcoat and Cave’s first collaboration in The Proposition. Hopefully they can nail down financing and the cast soon!
What do you think of everyone attached THE PROMISED LAND so far?

... where they've got a few more shots I suggest checking out. I heard about this once before when Collider snagged the official poster from AFM. The sales sheet says that "Jackboots on Whitehall boasts pioneering techniques in animation." Not sure what exactly those are, but it certainly looks great. After a few fantastic stop-motion movies this year (Coraline, Fantastic Mr. Fox) I'm always excited to see more stop-motion features. Oddly, this hasn't shown at any film festivals and doesn't seem to have a US distributor yet, so we're not exactly ...
