August: Osage County

[Dustin]

AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY tells the dark, hilarious and deeply touching story of the strong-willed women of the Weston family, whose lives have diverged until a family crisis brings them back to the Oklahoma house they grew up in, and to the dysfunctional woman who raised them. Tracy Letts’ Pulitzer Prize-winning play of the same name made its Broadway debut in December 2007 after premiering at Chicago’s legendary Steppenwolf Theatre earlier that year. It continued with a successful international run and was the winner of five Tony Awards in 2008, including Best Play. AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY is directed by John Wells (THE COMPANY MEN) and features an all-star cast, including Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Ewan McGregor, Benedict Cumberbatch, Abigail Breslin, Sam Shepard, and Chris Cooper.

I can't wait for this movie. It will be released on Christmas. It has major Oscar buzz.

When I first heard about it, I didn't think I would want to see it. I quickly changed my mind after seeing the trailer. Can't wait.

I ordered a copy of the actor's edition of the play yesterday. Looks really good.

Live QandA with the actors right now! Pretty funny stuff!

That's an awesome cast. If you haven't seen The Company Men, it's very good.
