According to indieWIRE’s specialty box office report, Harmony Korine’s Mister Lonely made more money last weekend per-screen than any other film in limited release. The IFC release took in $16,769 in its single engagement at the IFC Center in New York, which is pretty astounding when you consider that a) he hasn’t released a movie [...]
We’re bringing back The Media Diet, our long-dormant series of interviews with filmmakers and indie industry people about the movies, music and assorted pop cultural detritus that they like to consume. This week we’re talking to Harmony Korine, whose incredible Mister Lonely (see our review from SXSW) comes out in NY and on IFC On [...]
Michael Tully, who interviewed Mister Lonely director Harmony Korine for the upcoming issue of FILMMAKER Magazine, points to Korine’s latest work for hire, a series of British TV commercials for Budweiser. There are four short clips, featuring two members of the Silver Jews, and they can all be watched at Bud’s UK website.
Cool Hunting has a preview of a beautiful book that’s out in the UK in the conjunction with the release there of Harmony Korine’s Mister Lonely (which I reviewed at SXSW, and loved). The book includes the shooting script, by Harmony and his brother Avi Korine, as well as photographs from the set, some taken [...]

Other titles announced today: Stuart Townsend’s Battle in Seattle, starring Woody Harrelson and [...]

Where has Harmony Korine been in the eight years between his 1999 Dogme 95 effort Julien Donkey-Boy, and his IFC-acquired, Cannes/Toronto entry Mister Lonely?
