Apparently while people were paying attention to Steven Soderbergh's upcoming Matt Damon headliner, The Informant, the Oscar-winning director (Traffic, 1999) was finishing a new film, a documentary about American actor, playwright, and screenwriter, Spalding Gray. Cinema Blend is one of the websites reporting this story.
Gray was best known for his monologues, presented in performance films like Gray's Anatomy (1996), Monster in a Box (1992), but most famously in the 1987 film, Swimming to Cambodia, which was about Gray's participation in the film, The Killing Fields. Suffering from depression, Gray is assumed to have committed suicide in January 2004. His body was pulled from the East River in New York two months later.
This Spalding Gray documentary is apparently unnamed, but will reportedly appear at the Slamdance Film Festival this January 2010.
