Dramatic competition entrants include the awaited big-screen version of Michael Chabon's The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, from filmmaker Rawson Marshall Thurber (Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story) and starring Sienna Miller, Peter Sarsgaard, and Nick Nolte, and an adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's novel Choke, directed by actor Clark Gregg (The New Adventures of Old Christine) and starring Sam Rockwell and Anjelica Huston. Documentaries cover the usual assortment of topical fare (films about New Orleans, slavery, war-torn Africa, and steroids) and personality profiles (Hunter S. Thompson, Patti Smith, and Roman Polanski). In total, 121 movies from 25 countries were selected from 3,624 submissions — the biggest number ever. The festival runs from January 17-27 in Park City and other locations in Utah. The full Sundance slate can be found on Sundance.org.

This is her second documentary. Her name is Margaret Brown and I am not sure what the movie is titled but it is about Mardi Gras in Mobile. Her conservative family is kind of nervous about it because they suspect she is liberal and because of who her grandfather is, she had entre' into the upper echeleon of Mobile society. Now everybody is concerned about how they will be viewed in the movie. Should be very interesting and maybe scandalous.
