Solondz has revisited the characters from 'Happiness' with his new film 'Life During Wartime.' It is technically a sequel but also a re-visioning as he cast entirely different actors in the roles this time around. For instance Kenneth Williams, who played Omar on 'The Wire,' takes over for Philip Seymour Hoffman as Allen.
"Pepsi would never give us clearance. Nor would Coke," he says. "When it comes to product-placement, I'm on everybody's blacklist. Nobody wants to give us anything." Is it because of the paedophile angle? "Well, I don't want to say. Just every angle. All I can say is, nobody wants to have their product or their brand contaminated by this movie."
