Prairie Home Companion: The Movie

Here's an excellent New York Times article on the new Robert Altman film, an adaptation of Garrison Keillor's famous radio show A Prairie Home Companion.

Being an avid listener of the show myself, I was blown away when I first found out about this project. While I admit I'm not too familiar with Altman (I've only seen "The Player," "3 Women" and "Gosford Park"), I have faith in his direction. Hey, if you have Paul Thomas Anderson as a "backup director," that's saying something.
