I spoke to Helen Hunt on October 5, 2012, and the obvious question was about whether or not being unclothed before a camera ever feels normal. She was good-natured about answering, and went on to talk about the trepidations she did and didn’t have about accepting the role of Cheryl Cohen-Greene, the sex-surrogate who helped Mark O’Brien,… Read More »
Dylan Kidd and ROGER DODGER
With ROGER DODGER, writer/director Dylan Kidd has taken the war of the sexes in a whole new direction, one that disempowers the male of the species. It’s anti-hero, the cynical and glib Roger, fancies himself a major player in that war. Yet in the course of one awful day which culminates in Roger trying to help… Read More »
Sacha Gervasi Dissects HITCHCOCK
Sacha Gervasi had the advantage of knowing for a fact that he would not be getting the job when he went to talk to the studio about directing HITCHCOCK, so he was completely relaxed and honest as he took the meeting. When I spoke with Sacha Gervasi on November 6, 2012, that’s where I wanted to… Read More »
Belen Atienza, Sergio Sanchez & Juan Antonio Bayona Take on THE IMPOSSIBLE
Respect was a word that came up often as I was talking with the filmmakers who brought THE IMPOSSIBLE to the screen on October 31 2012. Based on the true story of one family’s harrowing experience trying to survive in the aftermath of the Christmas Day tsunami in Thailand, the film was shot on location… Read More »
Ursula Meier Finds A Brother for SISTER
Ursula Meier knew she had found her muse in Kacey Mottet Klein when she discovered him in 2008, casting him in her film HOME. When I spoke to her on October 29, 2012, we talked about his evolution as an actor, and how she managed to keep that unselfconscious quality that he had shown in… Read More »
Ramin Bahrani Talks AT ANY PRICE
There was something about the halting way in which Ramin Bahrani talked about Roger Ebert that said so much more than the moving words he spoke. Ebert had been an early champion of Bahrani’s work, and when I spoke with the filmmaker on April 8 2013, it was just after Ebert’s death, and my first… Read More »
Amy Acker & Alexis Denisof talk MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
It was, as you can imagine, delightful to see Fred and Wesley together again. And though there was much to discuss about the Whedonverse, when I spoke to Amy Acker and Alexis Denisof on April 28, 2013, it was not for talking about their previous pairing as the star-crossed Fred and Wesley on Joss Whedons… Read More »
Moises Arias, Nick Robinson & Gabriel Basso are THE KINGS OF SUMMER
Moises Arias, Nick Robinson & Gabriel Basso talked chemistry reads, pipe dancing, and facing Nick Offerman when I spoke to them on April 29, 2013. That latter was in response to my wondering if it was possible to work with Offerman and not be compelled to do an impression of him. The conversation was lively,… Read More »
Jim Rash & Nat Faxon Occupy THE WAY WAY BACK
Nat Faxon and Jim Rash have made a name for themselves in front of the camera by being funny Faxon on Fox’s “Ben and Kate, and Rash as the sartorially terrifying Dean Pelton on NBCs “Community. No surprise there, considering that they are both veterans of the L.A.-based improv troop, The Groundlings, where they began… Read More »
Simon Barrett & Adam Wingard Say YOU’RE NEXT
Director Adam Wingard and writer Simon Barrett take the art and craft of the horror film very seriously. And when I spoke to them on April 28, 2013, it was not all fun and games. They were refreshingly cerebral about horror, and about what they wanted to accomplish with YOURE NEXT. In little things, such… Read More »
