Scott McGehee and David Siegel got their career starts at the festival withSuture (1993) followe by The Deep End (2001), but they haven't been back in a good decade. With a higher profile project - an adaption of a Henry James novel starring Alexander Skarsgård, Julianne Moore and Steve Coogan with Onata Aprile (from Cassevetes' Yellow) they have a valid reason to return. Filming on What Maisie Knewfinished rather late in the year --- so this is perhaps a weak prediction guess but a welcomed one when you consider producer Daniela Taplin Lundberg's great relationship with the fest.
Gist: Scripted by Nancy Doyne and Carroll Cartwright, the film which is an adaptation of the Henry James novel is about Maisie, a six-year-old girl enmeshed in the bitter divorce of her mother (Moore), a rock and roll icon, and her father (Coogan), a charming but distracted art dealer. Skarsgård will play Moore's new husband.
Producers: Daniela Taplin Lundberg (The Kids Are All Right), William Teitler and Charles Weinstock

Cast: Alexander Skarsgård, Julianne Moore and Steve Coogan
List Worthy Reasons...: I haven't been big on the Scott McGehee and David Siegel pairing since certain elements in 2001's The Deep End, but this triage drama via the eyes of a seven year-old protagonist might do the trick - we still have faith in Julianne Moore and we're of course curious to see how the core of a Henry James novel might still be relevant 100 years after publication.
Release Date/Status?: Well into post production, this might head over to the Toronto Film Festival for the kind of exposure which would allow for a pick-up for distribution.
ohvaI have tons of friends. They're just all online.

What Maisie Knew is a contemporary New York City revisioning of the Henry James novella by the same name, written by Carroll Cartwright and Nancy Doyne. It revolves around unwitting 7-year-old Maisie, caught in the middle of a custody battle between her mother Suzanna, an aging rock star, and her father, Beale, a major art dealer. In a race to win the court’s advantage, Beale marries Maisie’s nanny Margo, prompting Suzanna in turn to marry friend and local bartender, Lincoln. Both forced into a battle neither wishes to be a part of, Margo and Lincoln come to empathize with Maisie’s position and over time with one another’s. Teased by the notion of making their own surrogate family, the trio must either submit to the will of Maisie’s parents or eventually face their wrath.
