Gregg Araki wraps The Decline Of Fucking Western Civilization with enlarged cast

Story and character details for The Decline of Fucking Western Civilization remain under wraps, though Deadline describes the film as an ensemble piece akin to satirical offerings like Alexander Payne’s Election and Sam Mendes’ American Beauty. Principal photography for the director’s latest Los Angeles production began in September. Let’s see what else we can scrounge up about this movie… *types, sips coffee, burns lip* Carissa Dorson, who previously worked on the HBO series The Comeback and Hacks, serves as Araki’s director of photography for the film, which is based on a screenplay by filmmaker Kevin W. Koehler. Oh! *smacks head* Of course, the title is derived from a title card in Araki’s 1993 film Totally Fucked Up, which read, “the decline of stupid fucking western civilization.” Headline writers the world over appreciate Araki’s newfound brevity in the intervening years.
