I'd never heard of that movie before, either, but
The Power of Few has my full attention. The trailer has been going around the net these past few days featuring Hollywood's favorite grandpa
Christopher Walken, Christian Slater, Anthony Anderson, Moon Bloodgood, Q'orianka Kilcher, and
Jesse Bradford.
An interconnected crime story comes from the first time writer/director
Leone Marucci. The some sort of multi-perspective crime caper doesn't seem to have a release date in the US at this point.
The film was
reportedly shot in New Orleans, where an outreach strategy created opportunities for young locals, homeless people and senior citizens to join the cast and the crew. The producers of The Power of Few collaborated with associations like Volunteers of America and The Covenant House of New Orleans to hire local veterans and homeless people, young and old, to be part of their cast and crew.
The Power of Few breaks barriers of conventional filmmaking, redefines the meaning of interactivity and social networking, with a killer score by
Mike Simpson (Fight Club), and a magical girl from the ghetto called Few, played by newcomer
Tione Johnson.
Stop what you're doing and watch the trailer below.
