Quirky Characters for 2004
Sundance 2004 looks like it will have its share of odd characters giving the a number of actors the chance to stretch themselves.Isabella Rosselini as a legless beer baroness in The Saddest Music in the World.
Hilary Swank as a suffragette in Iron Jawed Angels.
Jamie Foxx as Crip Founder Tookie Williams in Redemption.
Gael Garcia Bernal as Che Guevara in The Motorcycle Diaries.
Ashton Kutcher as the Executive Producer of The Butterfly Effect.
Mario Van Peebles as his own father in BAADASSSS!.
Nicole Kidman as a pliable woman on the run from a brutal past in Dogville.
Peter Krause (from HBO's Six Feet Under) as a Richard Burtonesque professor in We Don't Live Here Anymore.
Kevin Bacon as a reformed sex offender in The Woodsman.
There doesn't seem to be a TRIBUTE this year (at least I can't find it in the guide). I'm curious as to why there isn't one . There also does not seem to be a non-competition documentary section (although they are still selling the Documentary Package).
"Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance."
Will Durant (1885 - 1981)
