A Prairie Home Companion



Director of ‘A Prairie Home Companion’, the great Robert Altman said at the world premiere of the film that the movie is about death. Garrison Keillor, who wrote the screenplay of the movie, disagrees with the comment and said that it’s a really funny movie.



Keillor said that Lindsay plays a teenager in the movie, who wears torn jeans, though she writes poems about suicide but they are also funny. However, after the death of one of the character in the movie, she burst into tears, the real ones.



Keillor then added that the character’s death in the movie is funny indeed. The old fellow, stripped down to boxer shorts with raspberries on them. He dies in his dressing room, while waiting for his love as Mills Brothers play on the stereo.



May be Altman said so just because he doesn’t want to label his film as yet another teen movie by Lohan. Sources say that it’s not a movie that will appeal to young audiences.



A bunch of fine actors like Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin, Virginia Madsen, Kevin Kline, Woody Harrelson, John C. Reilly, Tommy Lee Jones and Maya Rudolph are starring in the movie, which opens this Friday.
