Peter Sarsgaard,
Sienna Miller and
Jon Foster in the the movie which is an adaptation of
Michael Chabon's Pulitzer Prize winning novel. Some plot info from
Dark Horizons...
"Set in industrial Pittsburgh in the mid-eighties, the story chronicles the last summer of Art Bechstein's (Foster) youth. Art meets the witty and beautiful Arthur Lecomte, who then introduces Art to the equally stunning Jane (Sienna Miller), her boyfriend, the legendary Cleveland (Peter Sarsgaard), and worldly, exotic and slightly eccentric Phlox (Suvari)"."In the course of one summer, this band of colorful friends guides and thwarts Art in surprising ways as he confronts himself, his family, his sexuality and the heartache of growing up". Sounds like it could be a lot of fun and could be the next
Garden State. And the cast looks great too! source -
