The debut American trailer for In The Loop means it's time for Iannucci Watch, part the 239482903423094th, and also part the howevermanyth times I've become just that much more excited for the film. I'm really looking forward to seeing how Malcolm handles Americans, and god is it weird coming off two weeks of intensive Sopranos watching to see Gandolfini not speaking Tony-ese.

Ayoade — you know him best as IT Crowd's 'Moss' (and the director of Vampire Weekend's Godard-ish Oxford Comma video) — will be directing a feature length: "Submarine is the comic coming-of-age story of 15 year old Oliver Tate. In his head he’s a cool, literary genius, In reality, he’s socially inept and unpopular. He has set himself two tasks for the summer – to lose his virginity (before it becomes legal) to Jordana, a pyromaniac bully; and to stop his mother leaving his father for her capoeira teacher."

Help me get $30,000 and let's throw down here this summer. I'll be your Albert Maysles if you'll be my Little Edie.

Fresh Lost ARG material for those who can't cope with the long, empty road ahead.
