Eric Bogosian has signed on to narrate Alex Ross Perry\u2019s \u201cListen Up Philip\u201d which will have its world premiere at the upcoming 2014 Sundance Film Festival.<\/p>\n
Following up his critically acclaimed “The Color Wheel”, Alex Ross Perry scripts a complex, intimate and highly idiosyncratic comedy filled with New Yorkers living their lives somewhere between individuality and isolation. Jason Schwartzman leads an impressive cast including Elisabeth Moss, Jonathan Pryce and Krysten Ritter, balancing Perry\u2019s quick-witted dialogue and their characters\u2019 painful, personal truths. The film switches perspectives as seasons and attitudes change, offering a literary look into the lives of these individuals and the triumph of reality over the human spirit.<\/p>\n
\u201cListen Up Philip\u201d was produced by Katie Stern & Joshua Blum from Washington Square Films (the company\u2019s follow-up film to the acclaimed \u201cAll Is Lost\u201d) and Toby Halbrooks, James M. Johnston & David Lowery from Sailor Bear (the team behind last year\u2019s Sundance hit \u201cAin\u2019t Them Bodies Saints\u201d). John Sloss\u2019 Cinetic Media will be handling the domestic sale of the film.<\/p>\n
\u201cEver since I first saw \u201cThe Magnificent Ambersons\u201d, I have dreamt of directing a film with a narrator. Throughout the process of making \u201cListen Up Philip\u201d, probably the question I got asked the most was ‘who is going to narrate it?’ I knew what kind of diction I needed: a New York voice for my New York movie. Intelligent, cynical, nonjudgmental. Eric Bogosian is that voice and hearing him read the words finally made the film click for me in the way I always imagined it\u201d, said director Alex Ross Perry. <\/p>\n
\u201cAlex\u2019s movie is bitter, honest and very funny. I felt right at home in the world he created\u201d, said Eric Bogosian.<\/p>\n
