Learn more about the project after the jump.
Not much is known about Paterson, but Jarmusch says the film has some comedic elements, which is expected from the director. He discussed the project with Indiewire while promoting Only Lovers Left Alive, and here’s what he had to say:
Any Jarmusch fan knows the director has a real talent for selecting atmospheric music. With Paterson, he plans on using an electronic score, which he hasn’t ever really done before:
It’s all written and everything, but I don’t really want to talk about it too much. I’m a little superstitious, but it’s set in the present in Paterson New Jersey. I don’t know if it’s any more of a comedy than any other film I’ve made, but it definitely has some funny stuff in it.
I’ve never heard of the “F*** Buttons,” but a band name that good makes me want to listen to them.
I would say from Cluster to [Brian] Eno. I don’t know if you know F*** Buttons. Some variety of things that interests me. I like Detroit House and all kinds of electronic aberrations so I’m not exactly sure but I want music that floats along. I don’t want a heavy beat — maybe no rhythm at all. I’m not sure yet.
We haven’t seen Driver as the lead in too many films, but that’ll soon change. After Star Wars: The Force Awakens and all the other promising projects he has coming up, he’s going to become a more recognizable name. Driver has shown he has charisma and range, especially in Noah Baumbach’s While We’re Young, so the more we see of the actor, the better.
We’ll probably see the Adam Driver Jim Jarmusch project premiere at Cannes next year.
