wow, all UTA clients.
This is awesome news for Duane! He’s a great guy. I enjoyed this script.
I love Vincent D’Onofrio!
Absolutely awesome!
Looks VERY interesting! Great cast … I remember those short films … Good to see the director shooting a full length, should be great!
This is awesome Duane. I’m extremely proud of you.
Duane is a joy to work with, talented, determined, and has a vision. I’ve known him for twenty years and I’m glad he’s getting a shot with such serious talent. The beauty of Duane is that he always comes out of left field with some idea that’s a home run. Not many directors can say that.
I read the script awhile back and LOVED it. Looking forward to seeing it in the theater!
Seriously!? I love Marcia gay Harden and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, but either this sounds stupid or I’m not the target audience. A show about leading the local lodge? Ummm, no.
I have worked with Duane in many capacities, first as his teacher and later as an actor. He has always excelled. When I first read SUPREME RULER, I laughed out loud and knew that Duane’s creativity would make these words jump off the page. The cast he is assembling will be fantastic. I can’t wait to see this project come to fruition.
Had a blast reading this script–so good to see you’ve persevered and gotten it on its legs. Hope I see you at an audition!
Great cast. Script must be tight to attract this kind of talent. Also, great to see a first time director get the nod to helm this feature film. Would love to see the short films he has directed. Kudos to Mr. Edwards.
A long awaited, well deserved, dream come true. Duane this is wonderful news. Congratulations!! Dee and Jake.
Great cast especially inking Marcia Gay Harden and Jeffery Dean Morgan. Always great to see a new upcoming Director. Good luck Mr. Edwards!
Great ensemble cast for funny, well-written script!
Duane,
it’s great to see all your hard work and determination finally pay off. What an awesome cast!
This is very good news. I note several mentions of the “excellent”, “witty”, “funny”, “marvelous” script. Why no mention of or credit to the screenwriter?
Jeffery Dean Morgan cannot do comedy, not even a little bit (see: Accidental Husband). Casting him is a bad move.
Awww shucks Duane…this is so awesome! Im so proud of you. You are always an inspiration to me. Keep on keeping on!
Had a Blast reading the script. Bring it to Chicago! Lotsa’ Great talent here.
I have been following the career of this dynamic young film maker. His shorts were incredible. Can’t wait to see what magic he can make in a feature length film.
Watch out Hollywood!
