'Fathers' family tree grows by nine
By Chris Gardner
Bradley Whitford, Samantha Mathis, Kathy Baker, Clea DuVall, Ron Eldard, Gale
Harold, John Mahoney, Vinessa Shaw and Barbara Barrie have teamed to star in
the indie feature "Fathers and Sons." The project is broken up into three
stories, each written and directed by a different helmer: Rodrigo Garcia, Rob
Spera and Jared Rappaport.
Shooting wraps this week in Los Angeles.
"Fathers and Sons" revolves around the intertwined tales of three families who
grow up on the same street, focusing on the relationship of fathers and sons.
The first section, directed by Spera, features Anthony (Whitford) and Jenny
(Mathis) and traces the father-son bond that develops between Anthony and his
newborn son over 30 years.
The second story, helmed by Garcia, centers on the affairs of an airline pilot
(Mahoney) who shares a house but not a life with his wife (Baker). He crosses
paths with an unusual woman (DuVall) and spends an extraordinary night with his
son (Eldard).
The final chapter, with Rappaport at the helm, follows the homecoming of Elliot
(Harold) to his estranged family (Barbara Barrie, Joe Bologna and Lisa
Edelstein). As his father dies, Elliot meets and falls in love with a woman
(Shaw) who sees past his tough-guy exterior.
Jessalyn Gilsig, Reiko Aylesworth, Meredith Monroe, Phillip Rhys and Joanna
Gleason round out the cast.
Mockingbird Pictures' Julie Lynn ("Wit") is producing, with Garcia serving as
executive producer.
Garcia directed "Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her." Spera's credits
include "Last Cry." Rappaport helmed "Blindness."
Lynn's Mockingbird also is prepping "Billy Dead," with Keith Gordon directing
and Ethan Hawke starring, and "Fortunate Sons," with Jay Hernandez starring and
Eric Stoltz directing.
Hope this is true! Go Eric! FS also a nice song by John Fogerty ;)
