John Slattery smooth-talks his way into directing some of the best character actors around in his feature debut
17 May 2013 10:36 AM, PDT | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »
Having honed his skills by directing several episodes of Mad Men—episodes that, demonstrating admirable restraint, weren’t just a series of scenes in which Roger Sterling beds every woman in the office—John Slattery is now moving on to movies. Variety reports that Slattery has landed the impressive cast of Philip Seymour Hoffman, John Turturro, and Richard Jenkins for his feature-directing debut, with the triumvirate of character actors joining his co-star Christina Hendricks in an adaptation of Pete Dexter’s novel God’s Pocket. The disappointingly non-literal story—which does not concern a bored God digging a half-packet of »

John Slattery Set to Direct Philip Seymour Hoffman in 'God's Pocket'
16 May 2013 9:20 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Most entertainment gurus will know actor John Slattery for his role as Roger Sterling on the AMC drama series "Mad Men," but soon he might be making a name for himself as a film director. While Slattery has directed a handful of episodes of the aforementioned Emmy-winning series, the actor is looking to make his film directing debut with God's Pocket, an adaptation of Pete Dexter's novel, scripted by lower profile writer Alex Metcalf. And for his first directing gig, Variety reports one hell of a cast is turning out, including Philip Seymour Hoffman in the lead and Richard Jenkins and John Turturro in supporting roles. In addition, Slattery's "Mad Men" co-star Christina Hendricks also has a role in the film which is set in a blue collar neighborhood called God's Pocket. The story follows a man who tries to cover up his step-son's death in a construction accident, »

Philip Seymour Hoffman To Star In John Slattery's Directorial Debut, Cate Blanchett Teams With David Mamet For 'Blackbird'
16 May 2013 7:19 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Incoming casting news, fresh from the French Riviera: first off, Philip Seymour Hoffman has signed on for a new film, so we can all get our regular dose of rumpled magnificence. “God's Pocket” will be directed by John Slattery, who you know as “Mad Men”'s silver fox Roger Sterling but who is making the move to directing (having helmed several excellent episodes of the series in which he stars), adapting a Pete Dexter novel about Mickey (Hoffman), whose attempts to move on after the suspicious, and not unwelcome, death of his unstable stepson are frustrated by a local reporter with a hunch. Richard Jenkins, Christina Hendricks and John Turturro are all also involved, which is a pretty damn promising quartet (but then, so is “Philip Seymour Hoffman and three extras, or dead people, or inanimate objects”). God's Pocket, if you’re wondering, is the name of the South Philly »

Philip Seymour Hoffman In God's Pocket
16 May 2013 1:58 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
He's been part of Emmy Award-winning acting teams in Mad Men and Desperate Housewives, and recently distinguished himself as Stark Sr. in the globe-conquering Marvel movies. And if that all wasn't enough, next up for John Slattery is a directing debut. He'll be behind the camera for God's Pocket, and he's clearly been earning the respect of his peers, since he's been able to pull in Philip Seymour Hoffman, John Turturro, Christina Hendricks and Richard Jenkins to star.The film's based on the novel by Pete Dexter, who also penned the source for last year's crazed Lee Daniels effort The Paperboy. If you'd prefer to forget those swamp-gothic shenangians (though that film definitely has its loony pleasures), Dexter also wrote Paris Trout and Deadwood: the former terrifyingly filmed by Stephen Gyllenhaal with Dennis Hopper, and the latter the basis for Walter Hill's Wild Bill (if not the fantastic HBO series, »
John Slattery Is Directing Christina Hendricks and Philip Seymour Hoffman in a Movie
15 May 2013 7:04 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
John Slattery, who has helmed a few great Mad Men episodes (including last Sunday's terrific, eminently GIFable installment), will make his feature debut directing Philip Seymour Hoffman, Richard Jenkins, John Turturro, and his AMC co-star Christina Hendricks. Once you've stopped reeling at the idea of that cast, you may want to consider the film itself: It's an adaptation of God's Pocket, a Pete Dexter novel Slattery tackled for the screen alongside Alex Metcalf (An American Affair). The story takes place in the "blue-collar neighborhood of God’s Pocket, where the lead character tries to cover up his stepson’s death in a construction accident. When a local columnist comes sniffing around for the truth, things go from bad to worse." In a GQ interview in early 2012, Slattery offhandedly mentioned adapting the book — it's been in this correspondent's Amazon wishlist ever since. Time to press Buy. »

Roger Sterling is Going to Get to Direct Philip Seymour Hoffman In ‘God’s Pocket’
15 May 2013 5:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Seeing as he’s one of the senior partners at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce ad agency, John Slattery’s Mad Men character, Roger Sterling, is very used to being in charge of a crew of people. And now that Slattery himself has directed four episodes of the acclaimed show on which he acts, he too is starting to get a feel for being in charge. It makes sense, then, that he would eventually want to put his leadership skills to the test and make the step up to directing a feature film, and Deadline is reporting that he’s all set to do just that. The film is called God’s Pocket, and it’s an adaptation of a Pete Dexter novel about a blue collar neighborhood that Slattery co-adapted alongside Alex Metcalf. More than even its director or the content of its story though, God’s Pocket is notable because of the outstanding cast that it »

Samuel L. Jackson Joins Hailee Steinfeld in Barely Lethal; John Slattery to Direct Philip Seymour Hoffman in God’S Pocket
15 May 2013 2:45 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
We've got a couple of quick casting stories for you this afternoon. First up Samuel L. Jackson is set to star opposite Hailee Steinfeld in the indie, Barely Lethal. According to Variety, "the story follows a 16-year-old international assassin yearning for a “normal” adolescence who fakes her own death and enrolls as a senior in a suburban high school. Jackson will play her mentor who trains her in the program." I'm curious to see how director Kyle Newman will handle his follow-up to the surprisingly enjoyable, Fanboys. I'm also interested to see how it will compare to the recent "teenage assassin" flick, Hanna, even though this is a comedy. Hit the jump for news on John Slattery's directorial debut, God's Pocket. Park Pictures has announced that Slattery will make his directing debut on the drama God's Pocket. Philip Seymour Hoffman will star as Mickey, a man who tries to »
