Spartan — at least there’s a trailer at this generic site for David Mamet’s next picture. (Isn’t it kind of uncreative to start a synopsis with “This is the story of”?)

Val Kilmer, Derek Luke, Ed O’Neill, and frequent Mamet player William H. Macy star. What’s interesting is I don’t see Mamet’s wife, Rebecca Pidgeon, in the credits. She co-starred in Mamet’s last five movies.

Mamet’s most famous for writing Glengarry GlenRoss (he won a Pulitzer for the play), but he’s also directed some excellent films, like House of Games, The Spanish Prisoner, and most recently Heist, all three of which feature lots and lots of double- and triple-crossing.

For those who have Encore, The Directors: The Films Of David Mamet recently debuted and will be on quite a bit in the next few weeks.
