Rooney Mara and Casey Affleck get in a spat in the first clip from Ain’t Them Bodies Saints

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

One movie you may be hearing a lot about that might as well be a tongue twister is David Lowery’s AIN’T THEM BODIES SAINTS. I have a Texas accent and trip through it. I just need to practice saying it over and over.

The first clip from the film, which also happens to be the opening, Casey Affleck is chasing down Rooney Mara who is upset over something Affleck said about going out on his own. The exchange is amusing, and even though they are criminals you can totally relate. In the film, Affleck stars as, “as an escaped convict who sets out for home to reunite with his wife (Rooney Mara) — who is also his former partner in crime — and meet their daughter, who was born while he was in prison.”

Lowery who serves as both writer and director is said to be a filmmaker to watch out for. He recently took over for David Fincher on TORSO and is the one in charge of bringing new life to Disney’s PETE’S DRAGON.
