Todd Solondz, the walking controversy magnet of American cinema, is back. And this time he’s planning something that appears to combine two of his earlier movies. Which means that the tabloid press will likely already looking up new words for “disgusting” in the thesaurus.
The new film doesn’t have a title or any plot details yet, but Solondz has been talking it up at Cannes. "My new movie is a kind of sequel to - or riff on - Happiness, and to some extent Welcome To The Dollhouse," Solondz told The Hollywood Reporter. "Many of the characters from these movies unexpectedly beckoned to me, and so I have explored new ways of developing and enlarging their stories, with the intent to recast them from a fresh perspective."
