"My new movie is a kind of sequel to -- or riff on -- 'Happiness', and to some extent 'Welcome to the Dollhouse'," said Solondz in a statement issued Saturday. "Many of the characters from these movies unexpectedly beckoned to me, and so I have explored new ways of developing and enlarging their stories, with the intent to recast them from a fresh perspective.
