What did we do before the magical Internets happened along? Days at the Empire offices were a lot more productive, for one thing.
Still, the all-pervading influence of the ‘net continues to waft into films, including indie dramas. Bill, which will star Deadwood’s Timothy Olyphant and Thank You For Smoking’s Aaron Eckhart, features a tryst broadcast on the web that causes chaos in three lives.
Eckhart is a man thrust into the depths of a mod-life crisis when his wife has an affair with a local news reader (Olyphant). Their sweaty shenanigans are captured on tape, which then pops up online.
Melissa Wallack, who last scripted Dallas Buyers Club, which Marc Forster plans to direct, has written the screenplay and will direct the film later this month in New York.
