Will anyone listen to new controller?
What won what whereIt's time, apparently, for another movie set in the San Fernando Valley. This time, Paul Thomas Anderson (who made Boogie Nights, Magnolia and Punch-Drunk Love, but not Two Days in the Valley or Safe -- or Encino Man, Blast From the Past, 187 or Lost Highway) isn't involved. Down in the Valley will star Edward Norton as a delusional man who believes he's a cowboy and who starts a relationship with a rebellious young woman played by Evan Rachel Wood. David Jacobson directs; shooting starts Feb. 29, the Hollywood Reporter writes.
