The career of David Gordon Green is so wide-ranging that it seems almost random. Green will helm a rash of studio comedies (“Pineapple Express,” “The Sitter”) and he’ll also just run and gun on small indies (“Prince Avalanche,” “Joe”). What’s clear is that no matter the size of movie, some big name stars are always willing to collaborate with this adventurous filmmaker. Nicolas Cage put in a terrific subdued performance in “Joe,” and most recently Al Pacino led “Manglehorn.” If the director is making a bucket list of great actors to work with, the next on his docket is Sandra Bullock.
A political drama produced by George Clooney and Grant Heslov’s Smoke House Pictures, “Our Brand Is Crisis” seems like it might be an odd fit for Green, but the filmmaker is so malleable that it’ll be interesting what side of his arsenal he brings out of the tool shed.
