 Time Code
2000 is an exciting, innovative new film project from acclaimed
director Mike Figgis that breaks all the rules. Part of Figgis'
daring evolution towards the ultimate in minimalist film production,
the film was shot in one day entirely with hand-held digital
video cameras in sequence, in real time with no editing. The
plot -- a black comedy thriller set against Los Angeles lifestyles
-- literally unfolded before the cameras as the actors each forged
an improvised trajectory for their characters based on the central
elements of an affair, a murder and an ensuing Hollywood mystery.
Four main characters are at the center of the plot: Stellan Skarsgård
is a motion picture executive; Saffron Burrows is his wife; Salma
Hayek is an aspiring actress in the midst of an affair; and Jeanne
Tripplehorn is a woman whose actions will alter all their fates.
Mystery, comedy, intimate drama -- these and much more result
as the cameras roll for 93 consecutive minutes.
In addition, an eclectic ensemble of actors including Xander
Berkeley, Golden Brooks, Viveka Davis, Richard Edson, Aimee Graham,
Glenne Headly, Andrew Heckler, Holly Hunter, Danny Huston, Patrick
Kearney, Elizabeth Low, Daphna Kastner, Kyle MacLachlan, Mia
Maestro, Leslie Mann, Laurie Metcalf, Suzi Nakamura, Alessandro
Nivola, Zuleikha Robinson, Julian Sands and Steven Weber also
star.
The extreme immediacy of the film is the culmination of years
of experimentation by Figgis, who used handheld cameras to edgy
effect on his Academy Award-winning "Leaving Las Vegas."
Produced under Figgis' Red Mullet banner, the film is produced
by Mike Figgis and Annie Stewart. "Time Code 2000"
will be distributed by Screen Gems in Spring 2000.
