Etgar Keret adapted to clay film

be7410d81c289dff70a77cfa7858c98d078476aaFor you Etgar Keret fans out there, Tatia Rosenthal has adapted the short stories of Etgar Keret into a stop motion animated film titled $9.99. I’ve little information about it – it just debuted yesterday in Los Angeles – so I’ll let you do that research on your own. Geoffrey Rush and Anthony LaPaglia do some of the voice acting. I wasn’t as familiar with the other actors, but you can check credits at the film’s site. There are also some ‘the making of’ pages, a list of bios, news and reviews, the trailer, and so on.

For the trailer, click over to Design Related and scroll down (sorry I can’t get it to embed).

      for some reason, I really love claymation. i think it’s a childhood thing. I also really love those cartoons where the lips on the people barely move (speed racer?)-

      i’m really intrigued by this. i love his stories, and the movies he’s been involved with have been really good. (in my opinion). what’s really great, though, is where the hell else are you going to see a claymation movie that is rated r? not only claymation nudity? whoa.

      I am really excited about this. Missed it at SIFF unfortunately. Nathalie Djurberg is great too (for claymation fans).
