Don't look now, but Sidney Lumet (yes, that Sidney Lumet), has Before the Devil Knows You're Dead coming out in a couple of weeks with Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke, Marisa Tomei and the great Albert Finney. More importantly, it's actually generating some amount of Oscar buzz.

Did I mention that he's 83 years old!
