Heavenly awards potential for Lumet’s ‘Devil’
By Lisa | October 30, 2007
An exerpt from an article I found on hollywoodreporter.com:
That elusive combination of boxoffice success, critical enthusiasm and filmmaker cache that translates into prime Oscar and Golden Globes nominations is coming together beautifully in Sidney Lumet’s Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead.
With its lively $36,919 average per theater at two screens in New York last weekend via THINKFilm, its very fresh 85% critics’ rating on RottenTomatoes.com and Lumet’s distinguished 50-year-long career in Hollywood, “Devil” has heavenly potential in this wide open awards season. THINKFilm is launching the dark suspense thriller in Los Angeles and five other top markets Friday and will expand its run in the coming weeks.
“Devil” earned a slot on my own developing Top 10 List immediately after I had an early look at the picture. It’s a film that should surface in key awards races — including best picture, director, original screenplay (Kelly Masterson), actor (Philip Seymour Hoffman, a best actor Oscar and Golden Globe winner for “Capote”), supporting actor (Ethan Hawke, a two-time Oscar nominee), supporting actress (Marisa Tomei, a supporting actress Oscar winner for “My Cousin Vinny” and an Oscar and Globe supporting actress nominee for “In the Bedroom”) and original music (Carter Burwell).
