BILLY BOB THORNTON - MANURE TO HIT THE SCREEN

MANURE TO HIT THE SCREEN

Talk about making a movie "critic proof!" Indie producers Mark and Michael Polish ( Twin Falls Idaho ) are screening their new movie Manure at the Sundance Film Festival, which opens today (Thursday). In an interview with Reuters, Michael says that the title refers to the fact that the movie concerns a manure salesman, played by Billy Bob Thornton. But it also "takes all the power away from the critics," making them unable to reduce the film to poop -- because that is what it's all about! (The Polish brothers have written a guide for independent directors titled "The declaration of Independent Filmmaking.) Manure , which also stars Téa Leoni and Kyle MacLachlan, is scheduled to screen at Sundance next Tuesday, January 20.
