I am – Hercules!!
Todd Solondz’ untitled and long-gestating follow-up to 2004's "Palindromes" is now being billed as a "quasi-sequel" to the writer-director's creepy 1998 drama “Happiness.” Solondz had earlier described the project, once known as "Life During Wartime," as a "companion piece" to both "Happiness" and 1995's "Welcome to the Dollhouse." Thursday morning's Variety describes the new film's premise:

Solondz wrote the screenplay, which revolves around a group of struggling individuals. struggling to find a place for themselves in an unpredictable and volatile world. The narrative is told through a series of intersecting love stories.; the past haunts the present and imperils the future: ghosts circle and loom, trouble and console.

Delayed from its May 15 start date, the project is now set to begin shooting in October. Find all of Variety’s story on the matter here.
