Love the name, but don't get used to it. Nick Flynn's memoir Another Bullsh*t Night in Suck City may find itself with a new title when it makes the leap to the big screen. Focus Features just announced production has just begun on the as-yet-untitled film adaptation of Flynn's book, with Robert De Niro and Paul Dano set to star. Paul Weitz (About a Boy) adapted the memoir and is directing and producing Another Night.
De Niro and Dano will be joined by Dale Dickey (Winter's Bone), Olivia Thirlby (Juno), Julianne Moore (The Kids Are All Right), and Lili Taylor (Six Feet Under). Filming will take place in various East Coast locations.
In the press release Weitz revealed he's been working on this film for seven long years. "I've been working on this script for seven years, gone through 30 drafts, and I feel extremely lucky to be making this draft, with this cast, at this studio."
Focus CEO James Schamus stated, "Nick's memoir was emotional, ruefully funny, and powerfully moving. Paul's movie looks to honor Nick's experiences - and his father's. We are privileged to be working with these filmmakers and talent to tell this story."
Another Bullsh*t Night in Suck City Synopsis:
The dramatic feature tells the story of a young writer, Nick (Dano), who takes a job at a homeless shelter - where one night he discovers his long-absent father Jonathan (De Niro) seeking a bed.
