It’s been a while, but if you have a good memory, you might remember that I quite like The Tooch… Stanley Tucci. He whipped up magic as Puck in Midsummer Night’s Dream, but more importantly, he’s the man behind Big Night – one of the best foodie films Hollywood has seen. (Of course, he’s also heading back to food with the upcoming Julie & Julia, but that’s not the same.)
Now Variety](http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118005987.html?categoryid=13&cs=1&nid=2562) reports that Tucci is gearing up to film a comedic drama called The Hunter, and he’s grabbed Pierce Brosnan, Patricia Clarkson, and Julianne Moore to star. Written by The Tooch himself, the film is a coming-of-age story set in the aristocracy of New York’s Upper Westchester County. Brosnan will play a middle-aged man clinging to the memories of his “once-charmed life and world.” The Whit Stillman fan in me wants Chris Eigeman in a role like that, but I can dig Brosnan, and only hope that this finds the magic of Big Night … even if food isn’t involved.
This news also brings word that Blind Date – Tucci’s adaptation of Theo Van Gogh’s film, the brother to Steve Buscemi’s Interview – will finally make its way to the big screen this year, sometime in September. The sky – it’s raining Tooch!
