Paul Schrader Announces ‘The Basics of Philosophy’, Gives ‘Non Compos Mentis’ Update
Paul Schrader is currently developing the new feature 'The Basics of Philosophy' as he prepares to begin filming 'Non Compos Mentis' in November.
Paul Schrader has a busy few months ahead as he shares an update on two upcoming films. He told Screen Daily that he’s completed an outline and plans to finish a draft in the next three months for The Basics of Philosophy, which is about “an intellectual university philosophy professor,” made in the style of his ‘Man in a Room’ spiritual trilogy, First Reformed(2017), The Card Counter(2021) and Master Gardener(2022). Oh, Canada follows a terminally ill writer and filmmaker (Gere in present, Elordi in flashbacks) who agrees to have his final testament filmed by documentarians Malcolm (Imperioli) and Diana (Hill), years after he fled to Canada to avoid the Vietnam War draft.
