Here  some of the story behind the funeral movie “Get Low”.  Robert Duvall was immediately thought of for the role of Sonny. But Bill Murray was thought of as “long shot” for the movie.Dean Zanuck is the producer for the movie. Thhis is an excerpt from an interview with the producer.

How did “Get Low” come about?

It came about a decade ago. My wife was showing houses to a young lit manager and I got to know him, and he told me this story he was working on with his writer client. It’s based on an event that took place in the 1930s in Kingston, Tenn., where a man named Felix Breazeale threw a funeral for himself while he was still alive and over 12,000 people showed up, and it was covered by the AP and Life magazine.

What about the story appealed to you?

It’s original, and in today’s film world, that’s hard to come by. Everyone’s chasing remakes or reimaginations or TV shows in the movies. This just struck me as very unusual, but that was just the entry point, and when you got to know this character — the one portrayed by Robert Duvall and his plight — it connected on a much deeper level with the themes of reconciliation and guilt and forgiveness.

A woman from Hawaii has tried her own version of the movie “Get Low”. Over the weekend she attended her own funeral.

This scerario is the exact subject of a new movie with Sissy Spacek, Robert Duvall, and Bill Murray. Murray is the Funeral director. The situation in the movie is a little more complex than the Lady From Honolulu.

Snippet:

For years, townsfolk have been terrified of the backwoods recluse known as Felix Bush. People say he’s done all manner of unspeakable things — that he’s killed in cold blood; that he’s in league with the Devil; that he has strange powers — and they avoid him like the plague. Then, one day, Felix rides to town with a shotgun and a wad of cash, saying he wants to buy a funeral

According to Entertainment Daily, Bill Murray has commented on attending your own Funeral, the subject of the new movie  “Get Low”, a movie about attending  your funeral before you die.

The Movie "Get Low" stars Sissy Spacek, Robert Duvall, and Bill Murray

“I like the idea of having your funeral before you’re gone. You can hear all these memoriums about yourself… It would be sort of a baby comedy roast. You can get it over with and then you’d have a party.

“Suffering is the difference between reality and what you think reality is, so that could get your suffering done before your final hour.”via blog.taragana.com
