Clive Owen and Catherine Keener play the parents of a 14 year-old who gets an Internet boyfriend who is not what he claims to be. The trailer does a good job of making me want to know more about who this guy is. Is he 49 years-old? Does he just have one big eye in his forehead? I guess we’ll have to pay to find out. As trite as the subject matter could be, I’m hopeful that with this cast, Trust will stand the test of time better than other Internet-based thrillers such as The Net and Disclosure. The real wildcard here is David Schwimmer, who directs. His only other feature work was Run, Fatboy, Run, which didn’t exactly wow audiences with its deft direction, but the trailer seems to be cohesive (and cryptic) enough that audiences will want to pull at this thread. My guesses for who the online predator is (in descending order of likelihood):

  1. Channing Tatum
  2. Marcel, the monkey from “Friends”
  3. Clint Howard

Well, the director of that film, Jesse Peretz, is continuing the shameful trend of movies with expletives in the title, this one even stronger than “idiot,” if you can believe it. The movie is going to be called What’s This S%^@ Called Love? and he’s gotten big names John Malkovich and Catherine Keener (both of Being John Malkovich, Malkovich Malkovich) to star in it. Here’s Peretz on the premise of the movie:

“[It's] set in Cambridge, Mass., during the 1980s….and centers on a teenage boy who’s contemplating coming out. But in a twist, his ultra-progressive family (Keener and Malkovich would play the parents) actually wants to celebrate the boy’s newfound sexuality, while all the boy wants is to be left alone.”

That sounds funny. Why can’t nice young men like Peretz make movies without bad words? They’re only for people who don’t have any other shit to say. (The Playlist)
