BREAKING: David Lowery has written and will direct Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, a contemporary story in the vein of Bonnie And Clyde, with Rooney Mara, Ben Foster and Casey Affleck attached to star. Lowery wrote and directed the short Pioneers, which won the Grand Jury Award at the 2011 Grand Jury Award at 2011 SXSW after premiering at Sundance. Lowery developed the feature at the January 2011 Sundance Writers Lab. James Johnston, Toby Halbrooks, Amy Kaufman, Lars Knudsen and Jay Van Hoy are producing. Lowery has signed with WME and WME Global is repping the film, and Evolution Independent’s Cassian Elwes is lining up the financing.


Congrats to Lars and Jay. Two of the best young producers around. They are fighting the good fight and making real movies. BEGINNERS was easily one of the best films of 2011. Great to see them continue forward, supporting great filmmakers, helping them bring their vision to the screen. Also, great cast! Should be a good one.
Lowery is a smart and talented man. It would seem some notable actors agree.
