This spring Josh Hartnett returns to our collective consciousness in Showtime's "Penny Dreadful," and it has been a long time since we've seen him anything. The past four of five years has seen the actor drift with indies nobody saw ("Stuck Between Stations," "August," "Girl Walks Into A Bar"), genre fare that no one saw ("Bunraku," "I Come With The Rain") and troubled international blockbusters ("Singularity"). But perhaps his career might've been different, if he had made some different choices. In an interview with Details, the actor is up front about turning down some major roles, including Bryan Singer's "Superman Returns," early in his career. "Spider-Man was something we talked about. Batman was another one. But I somehow knew those roles had potential to define me, and I didn't want that. I didn't want to be labeled as Superman for the rest of my career. I was maybe 22, but I saw the danger,...

Stuck Between Stations accurately summarizes this flat little-engine-that-can’t. Aspiring to the great heights of the indie genius of Jessica Westfeldt, justifiably idolized for Kissing Jessica Stein and the superbly moving new release Friends With Kids, the makers of this self-indulgent and staggeringly long 84-minute journey would have done better to watch, not do.
The plot loosely follows Casper (Sam Rosen) returning home scarred from war and running into a girl from elementary and high school, Becky (Zoe Lister Jones). What follows is the philosophical events of one night, a la Linklater, including cameos by David (Michael Imperioli), the academic advisor Becky has been sleeping with, and Paddy (Josh Hartnett, who’s fourth billed in the credits; he’s fallen far), the party friend who proselytizes about Casper’s role as a jackboot corporate drone who fights for Halliburton. Among the many examples of terrible writing in this project, Paddy’s rants elicit a nonsensical,...

Zoe Lister-Jones and Sam Rosen have a moment in Stuck Between Stations.
Zoe Lister Jones (Shadows & Lies) and Sam Rosen (Nobody) star in the 2011 independent comedy-romance film (okay, there’s some drama in there, too) Stuck Between Stations, which also features appearances by Michael Imperioli (The Lovely Bones) and Josh Hartnett (40 Days and 40 Nights).
In the movie, Casper (Rosen), a soldier home on bereavement leave, gets a second chance to make an impression on his childhood crush Rebecca (Lister-Jones), a promising grad student, after the two meet in a bar in Minneapolis. Drifting through the streets of their hometown, the pair embark on a night wherein they find themselves falling in love and falling apart.

Congratulations to Stuck Between Stations. The Tff 2011 film has been picked up for distribution by Wrekin Hill Entertainment in partnership with Neca Films. Stuck Between Stations centers around Casper (Sam Rosen), a young soldier who serendipitously encounters his childhood crush, Rebecca (Zoe Lister-Jones), while home on bereavement leave from Afghanistan after the death of his father. Over the course of one night, these two find themselves trapped on a bittersweet rollercoaster of reconnecting and growing close, but plagued by the grey cloud of Casper's imminent return to war looming above them. On November 4, Wrekin Hill began a limited theatrical release of Brady Kiernan's poignant film (also featuring Josh Hartnett and Michael Imperioli) at the ReRun Gastropub Theater in Brooklyn. Lionsgate is also planning to release the film on DVD and VOD in March 2012. The film (written by Nat Bennett and star Rosen), which beautifully showcases Minneapolis at night, will...

"Richard Linklater's 1995 romantic gem Before Sunrise followed Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke, portraying travelers meeting on a train, on a stroll through after-hours Vienna," begins Andy Webster in the New York Times. "In Brady Kiernan's winning debut feature, Stuck Between Stations, Casper (Sam Rosen) and Becky (Zoe Lister-Jones) take an overnight jaunt through Minneapolis. The charm, if not the history, of its principals is similar."
"A digital-video take on the old whirlwind service romance à la The Clock, Stuck Between Stations is quite proudly shot on-location in Minneapolis, where director Brady Kiernan tries manfully to find enchantment in a world-for-two pedestrian odyssey through a middle-large middle-western town," writes Nick Pinkerton in the Voice. "There's an overapplication of split-screen and woozy soundtrack cues to this end, but Lister Jones and Rosen do an appealing back-and-forth with lively dialogue, not dulled in the interest of realism.

The more one-night or one-day walk-and-talk romance films we get, I’m surprised that so many continue to work so well. Perhaps it’s for the same reason that real life conversations don’t get old after you’ve had a few, or a few hundred. Particularly those kinds of dialogues you have with strangers where you quickly click and immediately become great friends, maybe lovers. Just as they rouse and exhilarate when they happen to you, such encounters and experiences are typically stimulating when watched from the outside, as well. Brady Kiernan’s “Stuck Between Stations” depicts another of these moving voyeuristic stories and it’s just as easy to fall in love with as its predecessors.

The new version of Arthur didn't do so well, but co-star Greta Gerwig, who took on the Liza Minelli role, came out of it all more or less untarnished. She has already shot Whit Stillman's very long in the making Damsels in Distress (fingers really and truly crossed for that to be good), and is now set for a new Fox Searchlight comedy with the intriguing title Lola Versus. (I think I saw that band play once in the '90s.) And she might have company, in the form of Orlando Bloom, who is evidently making a full return to the screen after a few years away. Variety [1] gives up the synopsis like a waiter handing over a fragrant, filled to the brim cocktail: Gerwig will star as a woman who is dumped just weeks before her wedding by her college sweetheart, prompting her to embark on a series...

The Tribeca Film Festival continues on through this weekend, but awards were announced Thursday night in New York for the tenth edition of the festival, making it so that New York audiences will have at least one more chance to see all the winners this Sunday May 1st. These films include Best World Narrative Feature "She Monkeys," a Swedish drama set in the world of equestrian acrobatics where a competition between two young women transcends mere rivalry, and Best Documentary "Bombay Beach," a elegiac look at the denizens of the dusty seaside California town.
Individual honors in the World Narrative Competition also went to Ramadhan "Shami" Bizimana for Best Actor in the Rwandan drama "Grey Matter" (which also picked up a Special Jury Mention for its writer/director Kivu Ruhorahoza), "Black Book" star Carice van Houten for Best Actress in "Black Butterflies," Luisa Tillinger for Best Cinematography in "Artificial Paradises,...

"At first it was about neighborhood," begins Eric Hynes in the Voice. "Then it was about stars, parties, and supersizing. But finally, for its 10th incarnation, the Tribeca Film Festival (April 20-May 1) seems to be about movies. Gone are the superfluous, attention-sucking Hollywood premieres (Tom Cruise on a Jet Ski, anyone?), and few are the big-name, low-quality vanity projects. Several years into a vital slimming of the slate — the fest topped out at 176 films in 2005; this year, it's a manageable 93 — Tff remains New York's largest film survey."

Josh Hartnett has stated that he didn't like being a celebrity in his youth. The 32-year-old, whose indie romance Stuck Between Stations is being screened this weekend at the Tribeca Film Festival, confessed to consciously taking "a bunch of steps back" to protect his character after 2001 blockbusters Pearl Harbor and Black Hawk Down. He told Entertainment Weekly: "I think that I kind of took a few steps back from Hollywood as soon as it all started to come my way because I wasn't quite ready for the attention. I didn't want to watch every word that I say. I wanted to develop naturally, so I just decided that being a quote-unquote "movie star" wasn't for me at that point in my life. "Now I feel more comfortable with where I'm at... I'm not afraid of what people think of me, which is one of the (more)...

As someone that only watches films rather than make them, my favorite thing about the Red camera, the digital camera that has democratized high quality imagery amongst low budget filmmakers, is the clarity not only of the imagery, but the specificity it allows for regional writer/directors to bring out the best in their hometown. In recent years, we've seen Portland as it's never been shot before by Aaron Katz and crew in "Cold Weather," the Joe Maggio-directed Tribeca selection "The Last Rites of Joe May" captures Chicago in a different light and then there's "Stuck Between Stations," the feature debut of Brady Kiernan, a Minneapolis native who, with cinematographer Bo Hakala, creates a portrait of the city that wouldn't seem out of place if it were framed in the Walker Art Center.
Ultimately, that's what separates Kiernan's film from the so many others that have been born in the wake of "Before Sunrise,...

Josh Hartnett was one of the hottest young heartthrobs of the earliest aughts, starring in big studio films like Pearl Harbor and Black Hawk Down. Recently, he’s retreated from the spotlight and has focused on quieter indie projects, and his supporting role in Stuck Between Stations, which will be screening this weekend at Tribeca, is no exception. The film follows Casper (Sam Rosen), a young soldier at home in Minneapolis on bereavement leave, who reconnects with his childhood crush Rebecca (Zoe Lister-Jones) over one memorable night. Hartnett plays Paddy, a neck-tattooed druggie who introduces the pair to an underground circus.

Tribeca: How do you describe Stuck Between Stations in your own words? Brady Kiernan: Stuck Between Stations is about how sometimes, the best night of your life happens at the worst possible time. It's a glimpse into the beginning of a relationship between two damaged people in an imperfect moment, and how sometimes the way we present ourselves doesn't always reflect the depth of our character. Tribeca: What inspired you to tell this story? Did the script come to you fully formed, or were you involved in its development? Brady Kiernan: What appealed to me in this story was that I could immediately see who these characters were. We've all had nights where we meet someone and end up talking until the wee hours of the morning. What was different for me about this script was that it captured in a very real way how, in those moments,...

#42. Stuck Between Stations - Brady Kiernan Anyone who reads the site, certainly already knows about Brady Kiernan's Stuck Between Stations - a film that looks like a contemporary "Before Sunrise" set in Minneapolis and will likely breakout at one or both fests that cater to American Indie films. Supported by Ifp Filmmaker Labs, the film is a shoe-in for SXSW because of connections with actors Sam Rosen and Zoe Lister Jones (Breaking Upwards), but will count on Josh Hartnett's good standing in Park City to help with the in-roads. I'm not sure what the budget number was on Kiernan's low budget film, but it would be a good fit for somewhere between the Next and Dramatic Competition sections. Casper (Rosen), a soldier who experienced the horrors of war, fell in love with Rebecca (Jones), a once-promising grad student who just killed her career. Althought they have known each other since elementary school,...

There's a new trailer for the indie romantic drama Stuck Between Stations, which stars Josh Hartnett, Zoe Lister Jones and Sam Rosen. Brady Kiernan directed the film, which is named after the opening track on The Hold Steady's 2006 album 'Boys and Girls in America.' Check out the trailer after the jump. I've watched this twice now, and while I do like the look of the footage and am curious about some of the ideas behind the split-screen editing in places (assuming that is actually in the film) I can't get into the content. There's a Before Sunrise vibe, but I also can't shake the feeling that these characters should all be about ten years younger than the actors playing them. That's an interesting disconnect for about a minute, and then I'm just pushed out of any involvement. But perhaps the actual film will play a lot better, and make...

Ifp Film Week is in full swing mode with a handful of indie films that are currently in the post production phase are releasing their first trailers. One title that has been featured on our site is the romance film directed by Brady Kiernan (2010's American New Wave 25). I'm sensing a possible double fest showing of Sundance and SXSW for Stuck Between Stations - the feature stars Sundance alumni Zoe Lister-Jones and Josh Harnett with Sam Rosen in the film's lead. Sight unseen, I'm calling this one as a "Before Sunrise" in an unlikely U.S backdrop. This sees Casper (Rosen), a soldier who experienced the horrors of war, fell in love with Rebecca (Lister-Jones), a once-promising grad student who just killed her career. Although they have known each other since elementary school, the two soon reconnect. They spend a night in the underbelly of Minneapolis talk through their hopes and dreams,...

Thanks to an Ioncinema.com reader, we've got your first glimpse into the look and feel for Stuck Between Stations - a low budget romantic drama by Brady Kiernan (see below), a first time helmer we featured in our American New Wave 25 series. Co-written by Sam Rosen and Nat Bennett, Rosen also shares the bulk of the film's screen time with Indie Queen Zoe Lister-Jones (both co-starred on Breaking Upwards). The film also sees Josh Hartnett in a small role - which should ultimately make it easier for the project to make the rounds. Much like how one might describe Linklater's Before Sunrise, this is the story of two people spending one night together. I think in early 2011, we'll find a little bit of Minneapolis in Park City. Casper (Sam Rosen), a soldier who experienced the horrors of war, fell in love with Rebecca (Zoe Lister-Jones), a once-promising grad student who just killed her career.

The Ifp's Independent Film Week (September 19-23rd) perfectly fits into the fall schedule of busy film activity sliding in after the Toronto Int. Film Festival and a focal point of the week is of course, the Project Forum. This year, Ifp has named a whopping 150 feature film and documentary film projects in all stages of development. I'd pay close attention to the crazy list below - I see a lot of future Sundancers and SXSWers. Here are a few that grabbed my attention: Among the feature scripts in development, we have Joan Stein's Beauty on the Vine - the project to be produced by Anne Chaisson has Olivia Wilde and David Straithairn attached. Lance Edmands' Bluebird and his producer Kyle Martin were both feature in our American New Wave 25 profiles - as is the case for Dash Shaw who is working on The Ruined Cast. Actor Ryan...

Unlike many folks featured in this American New Wave 25 series, Brady Kiernan's zip code isn't related to any of NYC's five boroughs. His feature film debut Stuck Between Stations was born out of a "what can we work on next" type of chit-chat at SXSW, and brought to life in the untypical indie movie production city located in the Mid-West state of Minnesota. Thanks to co-writer/actor Sam Rosen, what secured the film's fate was the good fortune of nabbing a pair of players who appeared in Daryl Wein's Breaking Upwards: lassoing a strong supporter of indie filmmakers in Josh Hartnett and one of the new official “indie queen” actresses in Zoe Lister Jones (Habib Azar's Armless and the upcoming release of All Good Things). Part of the Ifp's 6th Annual Independent Filmmaker Labs, If I had a crystal ball, I think I might see Kiernan...

Ifp have announced the lucky ten projects that have been selected to participate in this year’s narrative edition of Independent Filmmaker Labs, which officially started yesterday. Among the selected projects, we find a couple we've already been tracking and will probably be seeing this coming January in Park City. We have Dee Rees' Pariah, Andrew Dosunmu's Restless City, the much anticipated Yelling To The Sky from Victoria Mahoney and I'm adding Brady Kiernan's Stuck Between Stations as a film to watch out for. - Ifp have announced the lucky ten projects that have been selected to participate in this year’s narrative edition of Independent Filmmaker Labs, which officially started yesterday.
