Anyways... I hope he really integrates Austin a lot into the film. I just can't seem to figure a character like Al Pacino living in Austin, always yelling and screaming with his scratchy cigarette voice would probably not fit in with the laid back friendly atmosphere in Austin. lol

edit:
my speculations were correct! In the details section it says it was filmed in Bastrop! Genius me.

I LOVED Prince Avalanche! I thought it captured the spirit of 80's Austin/TX really well (not that I would know, but I do). Austin in general has a really great film history. We've got to protect our special sanctuary....we should never forget what we have or get caught up in fancy shiny new crap that comes from some cookie cutter developer$$$. The foundation is good, lets keep it that way
