Kevin Costner is doing baseball again

You know, just when you think Kevin Costner might be getting his career back on track (Open Range) he goes and does something like this. What is he thinking? From Empire Movies:
New Line Cinema has picked up North American distribution rights to writer-director Mike Binder’s “The Upside of Anger”, a bittersweet comedy-drama about an alcoholic suburban housewife raising four headstrong daughters, with an ensemble cast headed by Kevin Costner and Joan Allen. The film also stars Erika Christensen, Evan Rachel Wood, Keri Russell, Alicia Witt and Binder (HBO’s “The Mind of the Married Man”.)
After being abandoned by her husband, Allen’s character finds her life changed when a once-great baseball star (Costner) steps in as her drinking buddy and becomes an ad-hoc member of the dysfunctional family.

What is he thinking? He’s thinking that if he goes back to the genres he was successful in — westerns, baseball movies, political thrillers — he will get his career back on track. ‘Open Range’ seemed like a perfect step in this path, and it’s a shame the audience didn’t find it. Maybe this will bomb, but I don’t know that it automatically will.
The problem is that his last baseball flick didn’t work… and no one went to see it.
But I agree with you. More people should have gone to see Open Range. Solid movie.
I can’t stand Costner in most stuff but I saw and liked all 3 of his baseball movies, including For Love of the Game. On the other hand I have no desire to see Open Range. I don’t like Costner, I don’t like Duvall and the trailers drove me nuts.
“Open Range” did fine in the states. It didn’t bomb; quite the contrary, it made a healthy profit.
And in “Upside”, he’s working with some of the best in the business. I’ve heard very positive things about the film and his performance in it.

holistic bent), the music is seldom kazaa as good. Examples I can think of immediately: britney spears Spacemen 3. Mercury Rev (this one halloween is arguable either way). Sebadoh, the olsen twins first with Lou and Eric, then with dragonball Lou and Jason. They Might Be Giants. pokemon Pixies, although they just broke up amanda beard before too much of it got to happen. clay aiken
