Douglas Coupland’s First Movie: Everything’s Gone Green
I’ve been hearing tidbits about author Douglas Coupland’s first feature film for a while now, and I’ve been clamouring for any sort of information or media I can get my hands on related to it. Coupland, who wrote the widely praised Generation X, is known for his ability to tap into the zeitgeist and deliver barbed commentary about the way we live. Everything’s Gone Green is a new screenplay not based on any one of his books, although it seems to touch on a lot of similar issues. Ryan is a twenty-something who is feeling frustrated with the world around him: he just lost his job, and his hippie friend has gone “capitalist”. He lands a job writing for a lottery magazine and after discovering how unlucky some of the lottery winners really are, he is tempted to make some quick cash through a money laundering scheme. The movie is directed by Paul Fox (The Dark Hours) and stars Paulo Costanzo, Steph Song and JR Bourne. It also features music by The Meligrove Band. Twitch Film dug up a recent segment on Movie Television that features some clips from the movie. Click to below to check it out (sorry, only available in crappy Realvideo!)

Posted by Chopper on March 1st, 2006No, I’m pretty sure the movie rights to one of his books (most likely Generation X) were picked up by a studio but they let the option period expire so it’s kind of in limbo right now.
