Today on indieWIRE: 'Like Crazy' Trailer, Lars von Trier's New Film and More

Today on indieWIRE, we recapped the weekend, the saga that is Lars von Trier continued, 'Gun Hill Road' got sized up and much more. In case you were away from your computer this weekend, here's a tidy package of our weekend coverage. Here's your daily dose of an indie film in progress (from indieWire's Project of the Day); at the end of the week, you'll have the chance to vote for your favorite. Drake Doremus' 'Like Crazy' was no doubt the biggest hit at Sundance this year. It nabbed the Grand Jury Prize and a Special Jury Prize for up-and-coming actress Felicity Jones. Check out the just released trailer here. Move over Michael Moore and make way for Max Fisher. As the seventh edition of the Traverse City Film Festival came to a close yesterday, the director making the biggest impression wasn't the festival's famous co-founder, but the young local who directed an 8eight-minute short known as 'Traverse City LipDub 2011.' With 2,400 young and noisy YouTube fanatics, this weekend's sell-out crowd could have been mistaken for a rave. However, VidCon 2011 was something even more radical: It's a next-gen vaudeville show that wants to become a showcase for the future of entertainment. More here. Sure, his next film is the subtly titled 'Nymphomaniac,' which follows the erotic life of a woman from infancy to middle age. But in a Lars von Trier first, he'll create two versions for theatrical release: one a hardcore cut, the other a softer version tailored for mainstream cinemas. Read more ... and check out The Playlist's coverage on the notorious director. Until 'Zoolander 2' happens, 'The FP' is the closest we'll get to a whole movie about breakdance fighting. The film that created a buzz at SXSW this spring now has a home.
