Big Fan is written and directed by Robert Siegel, most famous for writing Mickey Rourke’s role in The Wrestler. It tells the story of a 35 year old parking garage attendant who gets his ass kicked by the New York Giant football player he idolizes at a stripclub. It got great reviews at Sundance and has a nice buzz for a smaller film. It’s release date is set for August 28th, 2009 in the Angelika in New York City and September 11th, 2009 at the Nuart Theater in LA.
I like Patton Oswalt. He’s really one of the more original voices in comedy today and it seems he won’t have a problem convinces audiences he’s a lonely, 35 year old football fan who lives with his mother. HD trailer, synopsis, cast and images after the jump.
