Korine’s also beginning pre-production on a comedy film that’s said to focus on “motion capture tech and virtual creation,” while putting last touches on a surrealist home invasion movie, filmed in first-person perspective. The latter project is being planned for a fall release, while Korine’s experimentation is sure to draw a strong following.
“The film marketplace, especially in the U.S., is very, very narrow,” EDGLRD film strategy head Eric Kohn told Variety. “If you only consider box office as a metric for success from an exhibition standpoint, you’re cutting off other ways to think outside the box. If you don’t continually reinforce this idea that movies and media can travel and exist across different frameworks, then people default to one mode. Right now, younger audiences don’t want their options limited.”
