Berlin: Kristen Stewart & Elizabeth Banks To Explore Fashion & Fetishism In ‘The Big Shoe’
Kristen Stewart and Elizabeth Banks are joining Jim Sturgess in Steven Shainberg’s The Big Shoe. HanWay Films is handling international here at the EFM with CAA repping domestic. Secretary director Shainberg is helming from a script he wrote with Mickey Birnbaum. Sturgess plays a gifted shoe designer forced 
to break free from a family who wants to turn his designs into mass-produced knock-offs. The family hires psychotherapist Mary Kay (Banks) and muse Delphi (Stewart) to lure him back to work. Shainberg says the film will combine eroticism and humor in a similar way to dark comedy Secretary. Andrew Lazar’s Mad Chance produces and Richard Middleton and Christina Lurie are executive producing.
Sounds interesting. Is it based off a book, or is there any way to get more info about the film? When does it start shooting?
The Big Shoe = Secretary + Failure to Launch + Albert Brooks’s The Muse + Analyze This
And possibly a little bit of Kinky Boots thrown in.
wow, sounds cool! Good mix of humour and drama
I thought this thing had Joaquin Phoenix attached with Viggo Mortensen and Amy Adams circling at one point. Well it’s certainly gone down a few pegs now, hasn’t it?
This sounds like a fun movie to watch. When is it set to film and when will the movie be out? Are there more details about this movie?
A streaming pile of pretentiousness destined for the $1 bin
Sounds great. Not the biggest fan of Secretary but i love this cast!
Great. Another “Straight-to-DVD” or “Limited Release in 8 theaters” movie for Kristen. The one that no one will see. That’s where her career will be after Twilight.
LOL It’s true
That really made me laugh! You know nothing about Kristen Stewart and her philosophy why she’s an actress and makes movies she LOVES, she does not make them because of the money! No one knew Twilight was going to be that big,she never wanted this much fame (that doesn’t mean she takes it for granted)! And the “straight-to-DVD” movies and the ones which are shown in selected theaters are the ones where her talent really shows off! WATCH

WATCH the movies before you judge, I’m sure you only watch mainstream shit. Do your research right! I’m so glad there are people in this world who aren’t this shallow! And maybe you should watch one of her Indie movies, you could learn a lot!
Really? Kristen Stewart? Why?
because she is awesome ,Selma! You mad?
as a muse?! Idts lol
yes, as a muse, you idiot.
Yes, as a trampire, you idiot!
Another bomb for Jim Sturgess
How does he keep landing lead roles? This is actually a pretty good project…decent script, etc. and could work in the vein of Kinky Boots IF it had a strong male lead. I somewhat understand casting Banks and Stewart, as they have supporting roles, but I would have thought they would have gone with a strong male lead. As pointed out by an above poster, I think Joaquin Phoenix looked at this at one point.
ugh I know! Why why WHY does he pick this kind of films???????
It sounds fun and the cast looks very good so far.I dont think it’s based in a book.Maybe a real-life story from a tortured designer?
