Movie-blogger types are going justifiably apeshit over the beautifully cut trailer for Todd Field’s Little Children, which opens October 6 after lots of classy film festival exposure.
And speaking of beautifully cut, we’re thrilled that gorgeous Patrick Wilson’s stage-to-film transition seems to be sticking after a rough - Phantom of the Opera and The Alamo rough - start. Having read the satirically funny, haunting Tom Perrotta novel on which the film is based, I think Wilson is a completely inspired choice to play the ex-jock-turned-stay-at-home-dad whose affair with an unfulfilled housewife (Kate Winslet) coincides with a child molester’s return to their suburban McNeighborhood.
Because Winslet and co-star Jennifer Connelly almost never align themselves with overt crap, and because writer-director Field’s In the Bedroom proved his gift for stories of domestic discord, we have every reason to put Little Children near the top of our must-see list for the fall.
And it has wet, swimsuit-clad Patrick Wilson. Paging the Academy!

I just saw the film in telluride. Not only is it a phenominal movie (think a more twisted and hotter version of American Beauty) but Patrick’s many pool scenes were very appreciated. I am sure this will be nominated for many gold statue men.
