Happiness

Werc Werk Works is all set to take up the job of funding Todd Solondz new movie that is going to be a sequel to his critically acclaimed Happiness. The film circles over several quirky characters taking a more realistic take of pedophiles, perverts and fiends with no moral comment whatsoever.

The production company was founded by Christine Kunewa Walker (“American Splendor,” “Factotum”), The company will produce three or four films.

The screenplay is filled with struggling individuals trying to find a place for them in a struggling volatile world. The narrative is written with many intersecting love stories. The past haunts the present and affects the future. The film will spiral into ghostly interludes which is very characteristic of Solondz’s films.

Demi Moore, Emma Thompson and Paul Reubens were associated to the project for some time. “Happiness,” which featured themes of child molestation and rape, initially received an NC-17 from the MPAA board but was eventually released unrated.

The film is scheduled to begin principal photography in October in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Casting is currently under way.
