Jeff Bridges, the star we loved to hate with his evil shaved head in Iron Man, has finished filming a brand new country music movie also starring Maggie Gyllenhaal, Robert Duvall and Colin Farrell. In the movie, Bridges and Gyllenhaal are romantic interests.
This romantic pairing actually happens in Crazy Heart, an indie drama just picked up for distribution by Fox Searchlight. Bridges plays an aging country singer who gets a new lease on life through a relationship with reporter (Gyllenhaal). He's also got a mentor to deal with, played by Robert Duvall, and is a mentor himself to an up-and-comer played by Colin Farrell. Yes, that Colin Farrell is apparently playing a country singer.
Searchlight has a very good track record about picking up indie movies and this one has just a little bit of buzz going about it already in review circles. Their plan to release the film next spring makes it sound like a nice crowd-pleaser.
