Gillian Jacobs Embarks on a Road Trip Odyssey in Trailer For THE SEVEN FACES OF JANE
Gillian Jacobs (Community) has a new experimental film project coming out titled The Seven Faces of Jane, and the first trailer has been released for it. The movie was helmed by seven different directors and “each of the filmmakers operated off the story’s initial premise, with a few ground rules, but genre, tone, pace, additional characters, and any other narrative details were entirely at their own discretion.”
The directors were “encouraged to express their unique vision, creative spirit, and style as a director, and they worked without knowledge of what the others were doing. Each segment of Jane's journey was then joined together to form one, full-length feature film.”
In the film, Jane (Jacobs) drops her daughter off at a sleepaway camp and drives away from her mundane life into an exciting odyssey on the road. Jane’s obstacles, connections and moments were created playing a game of exquisite corpse—a method of creating art by collectively assembling random parts to create a whole.
The directors for the film include Jacobs, Gia Coppola, Boma Iluma, Ryan Julian J. Acosta, Ken Jeong, Xan Cassavetes, and Alex Takacs. The film also stars Anthony Skordi, Chideo Nwokocha, Sybil Azur, Emanuela Postacchini, Joni Reiss, Daniela Hernandez, Soledad St. Hilaire, Joel McHale, Caroline Ducrocq, and Breeda Wool.
As you can see there’s a little Community reunion here with McHale and Jeong, so that’s cool! The movie will be released in theaters and on VOD on January 13th, 2023. Watch the trailer and let us know if this looks like a film you’d be interested in watching.
