With all the waiting-eagerly-to-go-to-the-bathroom-like excitement all around about those big, giant, huge films that are out there and unseen, we thought we'd let you in on what sounds like a damn gem of a small comedy, David O. Russell's next flick, I HEART HUCKABEES.

David O. Russell, the man responsible for the strong, funny, and feeling films, Flirting With Disaster and Three Kings, has finished making another film and is readying it for release(spring or summer '04). ?Heres the rundown.

I Heart Huckabees is the nutty story of the strange ongoings in the life of an executive(Jason Schwartzman), the two "Existential Detectives(Dustin Hoffman and Lily Tomlin)" ?he hires to help examine his life, his relationships and girlfriend(Naomi Watts), and his problems with a star coworker (Jude Law). Somehow a firefighter(Mark Wahlberg) later helps out in a fight against a "French radical(Isabelle Huppert)." ? ?

Sounds a little more interesting than tale of a man and his killer car, doesn't it?
