Trailer Bulletin: Capote
by Scott Weinberg | September 14, 2005
Discuss Article
Click right here to check out the all-new trailer for director Bennett Miller's "Capote," a film that's presently causing quite a buzz at the Toronto Film Festival.

Starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener, Clifton Collins Jr., Chris Cooper, Bruce Greenwood, and Bob Balaban, the bio-pic breaks down like so:

"On November 15, 1959, the brutal murder of a family in a small Kansas town sent shockwaves through the nation and captured the attention of one of the most distinctive minds of our time. One-of-a-kind author Truman Capote was sent to Kansas to pen an article about the crimes for The New Yorker magazine. He ended up writing one of the most celebrated books of the century. Capote follows Truman Capote (Hoffman) on his odyssey to create the landmark bestseller "In Cold Blood."

With signature style and mordant wit - and his friend Harper Lee (Keener) in tow - Capote attempts to charm the locals and work his way into the story behind the murders. He's soon shocked, however, to find himself forming a friendship with one of the killers, Perry Smith (Collins). As the book nears completion and execution day approaches, Capote finds himself torn in directions he never anticipated and is forever changed by his experiences."

The Sony Pictures Classics production opens in limited release on September 30th.

Yea hopefully this does help Hoffman. Plus Cooper and Keener are cool. Wonder who Cooper plays though. This sounds interestingly good, I just hope that it expands to MT.
