'Dark Horse' Trailer - Could This Be Todd Solondz's Sweetest Movie Yet?
Based on the premise, Dark Horse sounds like it could be another entry from the Judd Apatow comedy collective. Jordan Gelber stars as a schlubby, overgrown man-child who strikes up a relationship with a pretty woman (Selma Blair), and tries to grow up a little bit in the process. But in fact, this is a…

First Clip From Todd Solondz's 'Dark Horse' Is Like A One-Panel Cartoon
Dark Horse is the latest Todd Solondz comedy that will (very likely) mine the uglier depths of human relationships. The film is set to play the Toronto International Film Festival, and the fest has dropped the first footage of the film.

Life During Wartime UK Trailer: Todd Solondz Sorta-Sequelizes Happiness
I'm not sure how Todd Solondz managed to shrink Tilda Swinton into the form of a young boy, but he appears to have done so; the figure graces the overseas poster, seen below, for his new film Life During Wartime.

Featurette On Todd Solondz's Life During Wartime Starring Paul Reubens
Update: Buzz continues to build as the film just won Best Screenplay at the Venice Film Festival. I like how Todd Solondz talks. In the below featurette---ideal for a Saturday afternoon in both length and Puerto Rico palm casualness---the writer/director of Welcome to the Dollhouse discusses his new film, Life During Wartime. Yep, titled after…

Paul Reubens Talks Todd Solondz' Life During Wartime
I lost interest in Todd Solondz sometime around Storytelling. Welcome to the Dollhouse was such a wonderful but painfully examination honest look at adolescence and Happiness was so disturbing, yet compelling.
