Art School Confidential 2006

Daniel Clowes wrote the screenplay and co-produced.
Terry Zwigoff (Crumb, Ghost World, Bad Santa) directed. 
Production company 'Mr. Mudd' (How to Draw a Bunny, Ghost World, The Dancer Upstairs) produced. 
John Malkovich, Angelica Huston, Max Minghella, Sophia Myles star. 
Shooting began in July 2004 and concluded in September 2004.
The initial release date was 9/30/05 - it was changed to 5/5/06.
The film premiered 1/23/06 at Sundance (see below).
The film was released in NYC and LA on 5/5, and nationwide on 5/12.

Very loosely 'based' on 'Art School Confidential,' which first appeared in Eightball 7 (1991) and was reprinted in
Orgy Bound (1996), House Magazine 3 (2001), and most recently in Clowes's 2002 collection Twentieth Century Eightball.
Essentially, the film is based on the experiences (Clowes's time in art school) that inspired the comic.
(The careful reader will note that individuals have made use of our research and prose on the official movie site, in particular
the first sentence in this paragraph . . . )
