Pasadena filmmakers' movie about to be released.
Emma Gallegos, from our features desk, has an article out today about Pasadena filmmakers who have just released a movie "Noble Son," about the son of a Noble-prize winner getting kidnapped. I actually remember seeing a preview for this- I'm guessing it would have been at the Laemmle theater in town. From the article:
It looks like [Pasadena filmmakers Randall Miller and Jody Savin] worked out their differences: they're married, they have two kids and the production company they started together has its third film - "Nobel Son" - coming out in theaters Friday.
The film stars Alan Rickman as Eli Michaelson, a self-absorbed, philandering professor who snags the Nobel prize for his work in chemistry - only to have to give up his prize money for ransom when his son Barkley is kidnapped.
The children of academics, Savin and Miller based the characters in the movie on the eccentric intellectuals from their childhood. Miller's dad was on the short list for a Nobel prize and he said there's even a hint of his wife in Eliza Dushku's character named City Hall - the mysterious, seductive spoken-word poet who seduces Barkley.
Here is the trailer for the film. I warn you it contains sex and violence, so anyone given to offense on those subjects, you know what to do:
UNDER THE DOME
