Topic 61 of 69: Richard Linklater - Slacker and Dazed and Confused

A Texas-based filmmaker, Linklater was one of the more important faces
in the early 1990s renaissance in American independent cinema.
"Slacker," made for less than $23,000, was a hit and a calling card,
opening the door to projects like "Dazed and Confused" and "Before
Sunrise." Linklater's more recent efforts have included the
award-winning "Waking Life." He's currently at work on "School of
Rock," starring Jack Black.

Linklater Coming to HBO for '$5.15'

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Looking to fill the comedy void left by the
demise of "Arli$$" and "The Mind of the Married Man," HBO is close to
signing sometime-maverick filmmaker Richard Linklater to a deal to
develop a "$5.15/Hr." a half-hour comedy. Linklater is teaming up with
writer-producer Rodney Rothman ("Undeclared") on the single-camera
show.

"$5.15/Hr." would represent HBO's first comedy pilot order in more
than two years, according to The Hollywood Reporter. As the title, the
current federal minimum wage, would suggest, the show would focus on
people in the lowest income bracket.

"Before Sunrise" is one of my all-time favorite movies.
