Chronicle (2012) was made for $12

First day of Camp. It is an 8-episode

million and grossed 10 times that
amount. Trank's paternal grand-
parents were Czech Jews who sur-
vived the Holocaust and settled in
the States after WWII. Tim Blake
Nelson, 51, who plays Harvey Elder,
the supervillain in Fantastic, has a
similar background: His maternal
grandparents fled Nazi Germany
during the 1930s.
Irrational Man is a new Woody
Allen film that
explores, as so
many of his films
do, whether life
has any meaning.

prequel of sorts to the 2001 film
that failed at the box office but later
became a cult hit. The episodes tell
the backstory of most of the lead
characters. The film's later success
was partially due to the later fame
of so many cast members, including
Bradley Cooper, Amy Poehler and
Paul Rudd, 46. It seemed clear in
the original that the
setting, a summer
camp, was a Jewish
summer camp, and
the film had a lot of
Jewish references
and jokes.
The original and
the
sequel were
Banks
directed by David
Wain, 45, and both were co-written
by Wain and Michael Showalter, 45.
The entire original cast appears in
the sequel episodes. Tribe mem-
bers in the original and the sequel
include: Rudd, Michael Ian Black,
43, Judah Friedlander (30 Rock),
46, Elizabeth Banks, 43, and Kevin
Sussman (Stuart on Big Bang
Theory), 34.
