“The Brothers Bloom,” a beautifully shot comedy about the last great adventure of the world's two best con men, will kick off Boston’s Independent Film Festival at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 22 at the Somerville Theatre in Davis Square with director Rian Johnson on hand for a brief Q&A.Constantly concocting “stories” for them to enact, Stephen (Mark Ruffalo) endeavors to orchestrate the ultimate grift. Bloom (Adrien Brody), on the other hand, longs to leave the swindling behind and live an “unwritten life” free of his brother’s design.
Working with Bang Bang (Rinko Kikuchi), an explosives expert and “associate,” they prepare for their last hurrah. Their artfully-produced plan involves luring and defrauding a bored, beautiful, eccentric heiress from New Jersey named Penelope (Rachel Weisz). When Bloom develops feelings for her, the dynamic among all of them shifts and threatens to fracture their tight, fraternal alliance, propelling them into their most dangerous scheme ever.
One lucky attendee at the opening night screening of “The Brothers Bloom” will receive a free pair of round-trip tickets from JetBlue Airways good for anywhere in the United States. Also, writer/director of the con-man flick Johnson will be in attendance at the IFF Boston screening.
James D. Stern of Endgame Entertainment, the production company responsible for “The Brothers Bloom,” tells Loaded Gun Boston during a recent screening of his quintessential documentary following the revival of “A Chorus Line” called “Every Little Step" that he’s eyeing Massachusetts for a slew of upcoming film productions.
“There are a couple of films that we’re working on that could definitely be shot in Boston,” Stern spills to Loaded Gun Boston. “Sure, [there’s a chance we’ll film in Massachusetts] more so than ever because of the tax breaks.”
