Mr Roman Polanski's gift to us this year is a delicious looking movie called Carnage.

The movie is described simply as: "The film follows two sets of parents who meet up to talk after their children have been in a fight that day at school."

The two sets of parents are played by: Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz & John C. Reilly

What better cast could we ask for in a Polanski movie?

Here's some info/images from the production-wrap party:

Quote from: indieWIRE
Now this is a wrap party you want to be a fly on the wall at. Roman Polanski’s “Carnage” - starring a ridiculously strong cast in Kate Winslet, John C. Reilly, Christoph Waltz and Jodie Foster (in the most promising role she’s had in well over a decade) - finished principal photography, and the cast joined Roman for some endlessly captionable photo opps (I love the way Jodie is oogling Kate in the first one while the rest of them look to Roman in a variety of curious ways).

yeah Kate and Jodie in one film by none other than Polanski is just wow but the plot sounds so not Polanski and odd which worries me.

There is nothing odd about the plot. In fact, if anything, it fits rather well with Polanski's penchant for using women as catalysts for exploring the psyche of his male characters. As they say about his body of work, this is going to be another psychological Ménage à trois (albiet with four people...). I think it might closer to the under-appreciated, under-seen Death and the Maiden.

I'd just caught this on IMDB today and had similar thoughts as the dude's, Polanski film about parents meeting after a school squabble? Just didn't seem like Polanski.

Fizz's comment brought back memories of "Bitter Moon". This does seem like Polanski going back to his "Bitter Moon" and "Death and the Maiden" (which I haven't seen) days.
