NEW YORK -- The Sundance Film Festival announced its New Frontier multimedia, live performance and panel discussion lineup and an added world premiere for the main fest: Andrew Fleming's comedy Hamlet 2.
Hamlet 2, starring Steve Coogan, Catherine Keener, Amy Poehler and David Arquette and which has no domestic distributor, premieres Jan. 21 out of competition in the Premieres slate. It stars Coogan as a high school drama teacher who creates a musical sequel to Hamlet based on the premise that no one died in the original play. Elisabeth Shue and Melonie Diaz round out the ensemble cast.
This year's seven New Frontier features are art-inspired films that use new narrative structures. Screenings include James Benning's art sculpture study "casting a glance," Michelange Quay's look at Hatian politics Eat, For This is My Body, Jennifer Phang's family drama Half-Life and Mia Trachinger's genetic mutation love story Reversion.
Yang Fudong's historical biographies "Seven Intellectuals in Bamboo Forest, Parts 4 and 5" and the multi-director French animated omnibus "Fear(s) of the Dark" round out the features slate.
