Collaborator DVD

Martin Donovan (Insomnia, Unthinkable) portrays a once-successful playwright, Robert Longfellow, who is taken hostage by an [ex-con] neighbour while on a routine visit to his childhood home. Two-time Emmy-nominee David Morse (The Green Mile, The Hurt Locker) plays Gus (the neighbour); a man Robert has avoided since he was a boy. The film also stars Olivia Williams (The Sixth Sense, Rushmore); Katherine Helmond (Brazil, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) and Eileen Ryan (I Am Sam, Magnolia) playing supporting roles. As the drama unfolds, social status, celebrity and the threat of violence converge, leaving the playwright simultaneously shattered and inspired.
