It may be a liitle off the point but recently I watched Belgica, Felix Van Groeningen's 2016 movie, and I was highly impressed. I wasn't expecting it to be a good movie because the rating was not very high, but Timmy said it was his favorite of the director's movies, so I gave it a shot. The storytelling was skillful and well developed, the performances were authentic and raw and the usage of music was very unique. After watching Belgica I was convinced that Felix was the right choice for directing BB. I recommend it to those who want to know more about the director's style and maybe we can have a deeper conversation after BB comes out and make a comparison.

Thank you for the recommendation, tealover. By the way, I've pre-ordered movie version of Beautiful Boy and Tweak via amazon.com from USA.

I ordered them too and it's expected that I will receive them in my country early October. Amazon sent an e-mail me indicated the same, end of September or early October. Actually, we'll have time to read them waiting for the film.

it depends on your definition of indie film. it for sure will not show up at the spirit awards since the budget has been confirmed by the director to be in the 25 million and up range. ive heard it went up to 50 million.

I wonder if that number is real? Maybe there was some mistake in the translation of the interview where Van Groneningen talked about it. I'm no expert so I have no idea, but everyone seems to think that's way too much money.
Probably you've all already seen this, but in case someone hasn't... Peter Travers has seen Beautiful Boy and said great things about it in this video, starting around minute 8:15. And now I'm even more excited.

It's not clearly said in the video but I think Peter has already seen the movie so it's really promising. Hope they do an interview again like last year.

I'm no expert so I have no idea, but everyone seems to think that's way too much money. I found the source article about the budget on wikipedia. It only showed the first paragraph but you can register to read the rest of it. It's written in Dutch so I google-translated it, which was quite readable. The part about Timmy was translated by someone and we all have read it, but I found the whole interview interesting and valuable. The budget part: Source: Plus, alles is daar supervolatiel. De kans dat een film zoals Beautiful Boy nu nog gemaakt wordt, is klein. Een drama met een prijskaartje van 25 miljoen dollar? Dat is waanzin. Google translation: Plus, everything is super-volatile there. The chance that a movie such as Beautiful Boy is still being made is small. A drama with a price tag of 25 million dollars? That is madness. Well it's hard to mistaken such a number in translation but we still have room to doubt whether it's the final budget. If 25m is the initial budget, that's really high. the link: www.demorgen.be/interviewreportage/felix-van-groeningen-in-hollywood-mag-je-niet-laten-merken-dat-je-twijfelt-anders-ben-je-dood-b96b155b/

Thanks! Yep, 25 million dollars (in Hungarian translation, too). Btw translation of millions is easy, billion isn't, but in this case, we're talking about millions It's a huge amount for a drama.
