‘The Family Fang’ (Nicole Kidman, Jason Bateman) Poster and Trailer
The trailer and poster for Jason Bateman’s sophomore directing effort The Family Fang is here. The film, based on the novel of the same name by Kevin Wilson and adapted by David Lindsay-Abaire, centers around a brother and sister who return to their family home in search of their famous performance art parents (played by Christopher Walken and Maryann Plunkett) who have disappeared. With a thread of dark humor running through it there is a sense of The Royal Tenenbaums in this dysfunctional family dramedy.
The film debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival last year and hits theaters April 29th from Starz Digital Media. It shows at the 59th San Francisco International Film Festival a day later.
Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013.
He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Critics Choice Association (CCA), San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle (SFBAFCC) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
