Colin Farrell - A Home At The End Of The World : New Colin Movie!

Alyson_And_Colin_Fan · 04-20-2003, 02:13 AM

Here's what imdb say :
Jonathan Glover and Bobby Morrow have been friends since they were 13 In Cleveland. They're gay. Jonathan moves to New York. Bobby lives with Jonathan's parents. Clare, Jonathan's housemate, knowing Jonathan's sexuality wants his baby until Bobby moves in with them. She then becomes pregnant from Bobby, and the three plan to raise the child.

Sounds like a good storyline, doesn't say what part Colin plays though! Let's get him playing a camp gay guy, I can see it now lol!
Anyone know anything else? Post it here...

Hi and welcome to the board! This movie has been discussed on a couple of threads, I'm glad you made a new thread for it! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Gay Colin! (If he's either of those two guys...) I think he'll do great!

Alyson_And_Colin_Fan · 04-20-2003, 10:09 AM

I can really imagine him getting into that role, it'll be something new for him!
I don't think it'll be a big movie because it hasn't got an all star cast but I bet it'll be good. I mean Tigerland was amazing *saw it today* and that wasn't very well known.

I believe Colin's playing the straight character.

It's being filmed here in Toronto. [img]smilies/glow.gif[/img]

ETA: Okay I just actually read the info on it. From what I understood, one of the characters was straight and the other gay. I'll see if I can find another source. Good old IMDB... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Edited again:

Quote:

Summary: Story of two boyhood friends: Jonathan, lonely, introspective, and unsure of himself; and Bobby (CF), hip, dark, and inarticulate. In New York after college, Bobby moves in with Jonathan and his roommate, Clare, a veteran of the city's erotic wars. Bobby and Clare fall in love, scuttling the plans of Jonathan, who is gay, to father Clare's child.

From Colin Farrell Information Page.

Colin's playing Bobby, apparently.

From movies.go.com:

Quote:

The story follows friends Jonathan and Bobby (Colin Farrell), who get involved in a love triangle with a woman (Robin Wright Penn) they meet in New York City. Alice (Sissy Spacek), Jonathan's mother, takes care of HIV-positive Bobby despite the dissolution of her own marriage.

It's listed as 2003, so that sounds promising [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

It's based on the book by Michael Cunningham, who also wrote The Hours, which we all know did well at the Oscars... could this be Colin's big chance for an Academy Award??

I hope so, he deserves one after Phone Booth and Tigerland. I can't believe that he hasn't got an academy award for tigerland [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] , he should!!!

I think this is Colin's best chance so far for an Oscar. This book was written by the same author as "The Hours"..the "Academy" loves those kinds of "heavy" films.

Here's a link to my House at the End of the World Page.
No pictures yet..although I do have some grainy newspaper ones I will upload soon.

Sounds interesting. Can't wait! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

There was a pic of Colin in US Magazine from this movie, and the caption read that he's playing a man with HIV. He looked pretty scary, longer streaky hair (obviously a wig!), not pretty!

Ruby Soho · 05-04-2003, 09:55 AM

They have a pic of him and Robin Wright Penn in People's 50 Most Beautiful People issue. They mention that it's being filmed in Toronto, and the cast and crew are trying to not think about whats going on with SARS there.

I've got a nice hi-quality scan at http://www.efanguide.com/~colinfarrell/ . [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

This certainly looks like an interesting movie.
