Film Production in Hollywood has roused ghosts of excitement in the belly of this particular author lately. This is due to watching the trailer for ‘Being Flynn’, a new movie directed by Paul Weitz and starring Robert De Niro, Julianne Moore, Paul Dano, and Olivia Thirlby.

 Dano stars as Nick, a young writer who volunteers at various homeless shelters in Boston. During one of those volunteer nights he is stunned to find himself looking into the face of his estranged -- and now homeless -- father, played by De Niro. The father was himself a brilliant writer, but his talent never translated into being a good father, leaving Nick with no shortage of issues to work over with the man who has unexpectedly rematerialized in his life in the least-expected way.

I find that I have the (sadly) rare feeling of genuinely looking forward to a new release from the film studios. Not only does this look like a mature, interesting movie, but it might also herald the legendary De Niro’s return to worthy material, and that is something which we should all pay to see. The film does not currently have a release date, but we should expect to see this sometime in 2012.
