Must See Trailer for Nick Cassevetes' 'Yellow'

Love Cassavetes. 'She's So Lovely' was very strong. One of my favorites.

Trailer is very easy to watch. With Lucy Punch, Ray Liotta, Sienna Miller, Max Thieriot, David Morse, Melanie Griffith, Gena Rowlands -- great cast.

Nick Cassavetes

Backstage talks with writer/director Nick Cassavetes:

He wrote his first script, Unhook the Stars, as an exercise, to see if he could create a fully developed character. He showed it to his mother, who happens to be accomplished stage and screen star Gena Rowlands. "I said, 'What do you think?' She said, 'What do I think? When are we doing this?'" he remembers. "I said, 'No, it was just an experiment.' She goes, 'Uh-uh. We're doing this.'" Unhook the Stars, directed by Cassavetes, was released in 1996 and netted Screen Actors Guild nods for Rowlands and co-star Marisa Tomei.

Actors love this guy and with good reason -- his writing is intelligent, his stories turn on a dime, and his camera is effortless. If you haven't seen "She's So Lovely", also written and directed by Cassavetes, check it out. It's loaded with fine performances -- with John Travolta, Robin Wright Penn, Sean Penn -- and is one of the lesser-known gems out there. Cassavetes has "Alpha Dog" (pictured) coming out soon.
