Being Flynn is the new dramatic feature from Academy Award-nominated writer/director Paul Weitz (About a Boy). Adapted from Nick Flynn’s 2004 memoir Another Bulls—t Night in Suck City, the movie explores bonds both unbreakable and fragile between parent and child.
Nick Flynn (portrayed in the film by Paul Dano of Little Miss Sunshine and There Will Be Blood) is a young writer seeking to define himself. He misses his late mother, Jody (four-time Academy Award nominee Julianne Moore), and her loving nature. But his father, Jonathan, is not even a memory, as Nick has not seen the man in 18 years.
Jonathan Flynn (two-time Academy Award winner Robert De Niro) has long defined himself as a great writer, “a master storyteller.” After abandoning his wife and child, Jonathan scrapes through life on his own terms. Despite the occasional grandiose letter to his son, he has remained absent from Nick’s life.
Suddenly facing eviction from his apartment, Jonathan impulsively reaches out to Nick and the two come face-to-face.
Evocatively told, ruefully funny, and moving in its depiction of the ties that bind, Being Flynn tells a story that reveals universal truths.
Being Flynn will be released Friday, March 2nd, 2012 in New York at AMC Theatres’ Lincoln Square (on Broadway near 68th Street) and Landmark Theatres’ Sunshine Cinema (on Houston Street, east of 2nd Avenue) and in Los Angeles at Landmark Theatres’ The Landmark (10850 West Pico Blvd. at Westwood Blvd.); Friday, March 9th, 2012 in San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, Dallas, and Washington, D.C. and March 2012 in additional cities.
