Saw a screening of The Big Empty tonight at the AFI Film Festival. Without ruining anything, I’ll just say it’s a quirky movie with a really fun cast. Here’s the blurb about it from the AFI page: “Something strange is happening in the middle of nowhere. Steve Anderson’s debut feature is a sun-baked modern noir. Jon Favreau plays an out-of-work actor trying to make sense of a blue suitcase, 75 missing people, a neighbor who loses his head and a cryptic cowboy. “

After the film, there was a Q & A with the director Steve Anderson and actors Jon Favreau, Sean Bean, Joey Lauren Adams, and Jon Gries. The film also stars Rachael Leigh Cook, Kelsey Grammer, Adam Beach, Daryl Hannah, and Bud Cort. And of course, I have to mention Vince Vaughn was in the audience to heckle Jon Favreau. Other celebrity sightings at the Arclight include Larry David.
