[Sundance ’13 Review] Ryan Daley Says ‘The Rambler’ Is Both Intriguing And Bizarre
Ryan Daley has returned from the 2013 Sundance Film Festival to share his thoughts on Calvin Reeder’s The Rambler, his second feature film that’s premiered at the prestigious festival. The director of The Oregonian, best known for his astounding short films, this time tells the tale of The Rambler (Dermont), after being released from prison, who stumbles upon a strange mystery as he attempts a dangerous journey through treacherous back roads and small towns en route to reconnecting with his long lost brother.
Daley enjoyed the “Lynchian” vibe stating that “the movie skips and stutters like a hallucinogenic fever dream,” further adding, “the film never bothers to hide its Lynchian underpinnings, but the bizarre-as-shit developments are intriguing.”

Keith C. Blackmore’s book series Mountain Man is headed to the screen, with Deadline reporting today that Joe Manganiello (“True Blood”) is on board to star in the film adaptation.
The actor will also produce the upcoming zombie movie.
“Mountain Man tells the story of Gus, a lonely post-apocalyptic survivor facing isolation and the ever-present specter of a zombie attack, who struggles with alcohol abuse and suicidal thoughts until he discovers another survivor, a captivating woman who poses another threat altogether.”
John Lee (False Positive) will direct Mountain Man from a script by Matt Deller.
“John is a brilliant creative mind. We’ve been looking for the right thing to do together since we filmed Pee Wee’s Big Holiday and it’s finally here,” 3:59’s Joe and Nick Manganiello told Deadline. “Very excited to get to work on such weird, wild project with him.”
Film Bridge International is launching sales on the project in Cannes.
Blackmore’s Mountain Man series features 7 books, the first one published in 2011.
