I have read on several blogs about a very mysterious movie and after looking at the website and being bored a few minutes later, I still can’t figure what the thing is about.

According to the description and the long list of musicians participating to the film, I thought it was worth mentioning, even Rufus Wainwright and Will Oldham are in it!
‘We have an exclusive first look today at ‘ITW Pathway’, a secretive project that is being so closely guarded, the filmmakers themselves are, for now, not revealing their identity.
From what we can tell you, the cast signed on knowing very little about the project, but one thing we can say is that while it does boast a lot of music talent, it is not a music-centered film. ‘ITW Pathway’ boasts a huge cast, including Terrence Howard, Temple Grandin, Rufus Wainwright, Famke Janssen, Will Shortz, Moby, Kent Cullers, Ahmir ‘Questlove’ Thompson, Jorgen Leth, Dave Matthews, Alan Cumming, Rosie Perez, Aimee Mullins, Bob Mankoff and Will Oldham with original music by Yoko Ono.
The project is completed and though no dates are firmed up, we’re told ‘the delivery will be as unconventional as the experience itself’. You can watch the enigmatic clip and let the guessing game begin on whose identity is being hidden in the opening moments. You can also hit the film’s website, which has a brief intro video that gives you a look at some of the other cast members, but the film’s secrets remain close to the chest.’
Indeed! The site made me think about a scarier episode of Lost, or even ‘The Antichrist’ (it must be the woods), which is not a good sign. It may be also another Blair Witch project-kind-of-type, and although the background music could be from any David Lynch’s movie, they say the original music was composed by Yoko Ono?
According to Wikipedia, Jennifer Elster, who has conceptualized music videos for David Bowie, Nine Inch Nails, Garbage, Marilyn Manson, Moby and Fiona Apple, is the director and it will be the first movie of a trilogy ITW, ITC and ITS.
Wait a minute! Lars Von Trier is the co-director of the second one…
There are short clips floating around on youtube like this one with the autistic heroine Temple Grandin, but there are so short they just only reinforce the mystery.
It’s probably some good marketing, a way to make people interested by a project using all the possible modern tools, a website, some youtube clips, a twitter and facebook accounts, and many future discussions about how very little we know about.
