Poster for a TIFF Dark Horse

There’s a new poster for director Todd Solondz’s (Life During Wartime, Happiness, Welcome to the Dollhouse) new drama (or is it a black comedy? It’s hard to tell with Solondz) Dark Horse, starring Selma Blair, Jordan Gelber and Christopher Walken.
Romance blooms between two thirty-somethings (Blair and Gelber) in arrested development: an avid toy collector and a woman who is the ‘dark horse’ of her family. Blair’s character is a failed writer/academic who moves back in with her parents and begins a tentative relationship with Jordan Gelber (“Boardwalk Empire” Broadway’s “Avenue Q,”) Dark Horse also stars Justin Bartha, Mia Farrow, Donna Murphy and Aasif Mandvi (“The Daily Show”).
Here’s a very short little teaser, that’s basically a sight gag. Watch closely. The first few seconds you could swear nothing’s happening.
Dark Horse will play the Venice International Film Festival before moving over to the Toronto International Film Festival. No other release dates are currently scheduled. I’m sure there’s a distributor of discriminating taste ready to snatch it up. (My money’s on IFC Films.)
