The 2019 Sundance Film Festival is underway in the wintry confines of Park City, Utah, and Polygon is there to bring you updates on what could be some of the year’s most talked-about indie gems. Will the buzz coalesce around Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile, the Ted Bundy biopic starring Zac Efron as the serial killer? Or perhaps around Jake Gyllenhaal’s Velvet Buzzsaw, which will premiere on Netflix in February? Or around Shia LeBeouf’s semi-autobiographical film Honey Boy? Keep up with the festival with all the updates below.
