Anton Corbijn Has a Documentary Coming Out and Mike Tyson Does Too

DAVID GORDON GREEN TALKS PRINCE AVALANCHE

Bagging the Best Director Award at this year's Berlin Film Festival, indie auteur David Gordon Green (

All The Real Girls

,

George Washington

) has returned to his indie roots with

Prince Avalanche

, an '80s-set comedy starring Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch.

We caught up with the 38-year-old Texan filmmaker for a chat about the '80s movies that inspired it, working with fellow Texan post-rockers Explosions In The Sky on the soundtrack, and how best to work with a small budget.

WATCH THE TRAILER FOR 'ANTON CORBIJN INSIDE OUT'

Anton Corbijn is best-known among cinephiles as the guy who directed the Ian Curtis biopic

and the minimalist existential Clooney-starrer,

Spike Lee Made a Documentary About Mike Tyson

Having already fired out a profile on Michael Jackson, titled Bad 25, Spike Lee's already moved on to another of his personal heroes. Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth is set to air next month on HBO, although there's no word on what percentage of the documentary will cover the total weirdness that was Tyson's roast of Charlie Sheen (I'd say that clip was NSFW if I had any idea what any of the words coming out his mouth were).

LFF 2013: 'THE DOUBLE'

Three years ago, the London Film Festival submerged itself in
