It shows how out of it I was in trying to be in it, acknowledging that I was out of it to myself, and then thinking, “Okay, how do I stop being out of it? Well, I get some legitimate illogical narrative ideas” — some novel, you know?
So I decided on three writers that I might be able to option their material and get some producer, or myself as producer, and then get some writer to do a screenplay on it, and maybe make a movie.
And so the three projects were “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep,” “Naked Lunch” and a collection of Bukowski. Which, in 1975, forget it — I mean, that was nuts. Hollywood would not touch any of that, but I was looking for something commercial, and I thought that all of these things were coming.
There would be no Blade Runner if there was no Ray Bradbury. I couldn’t find Philip K. Dick. His agent didn’t even know where he was. And so I gave up.
I was walking down the street and I ran into Bradbury — he directed a play that I was going to do as an actor, so we know each other, but he yelled “hi” — and I’d forgot who he was.
So at my girlfriend Barbara Hershey’s urging — I was with her at that moment — she said, “Talk to him! That guy really wants to talk to you,” and I said “No, fuck him,” and keep walking.
But then I did, and then I realized who it was, and I thought, “Wait, he’s in that realm, maybe he knows Philip K. Dick.” I said, “You know a guy named—” “Yeah, sure — you want his phone number?”
My friend paid my rent for a year while I wrote, because it turned out we couldn’t get a writer. My friends kept on me about, well, if you can’t get a writer, then you write.”
~ Hampton Fancher
“That was the most disappointing thing to me in how this thing was played. Is that I’m on the phone with you now, after all that’s been said, and the fundamental distinction between what James is dealing with in these other cases is not actually brought to the fore. The fundamental difference is that James Franco didn’t seek to use his position to have sex with anyone. There’s not a case of that. He wasn’t using his position or status to try to solicit a sexual favor from anyone. If he had — if that were what the accusation involved — the show would not have gone on. We would have folded up shop and we would have not completed the show. Because then it would have been the same as Harvey Weinstein, or Les Moonves, or any of these cases that are fundamental to this new paradigm. Did you not notice that? Why did you not notice that? Is that not something notable to say, journalistically? Because nobody could find the voice to say it. I’m not just being rhetorical. Why is it that you and the other critics, none of you could find the voice to say, “You know, it’s not this, it’s that”? Because — let me go on and speak further to this. If you go back to the L.A. Times piece, that’s what it lacked. That’s what they were not able to deliver. The one example in the five that involved an issue of a sexual act was between James and a woman he was dating, who he was not working with. There was no professional dynamic in any capacity.

The white balance is set to daylight…
Lovely stuff. What a beautiful voice Carey Mulligan has.
The biggest thing I walked away from Telluride with this year is how ridiculously talented these two are. NLMG could have been six hours long for all I care. I could watch them on screen together all day.
I love that she’s so eager to talk about the work (and I love her) but I hate that she just spoiled the end of both the book and the movie for me when I’ve still got eighty pages to go.
Any way we can get a courtesy SPOILER WARNING on something about a film which hasn’t yet opened?
Awesome interview. Carey and Andrew were so funny in the end of the video. Good job David, i enjoyed the interview A LOT.
btw can you fix the embed code?
Ever notice how some actors are suddenly cast in one billion movies all at once without any audience following yet?
The meeting of these two is like some casting agency supernova.
Exactly. Few could pick these two out of a crowd and that they are in movie after movie, is just weird.
YEP YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.
LOOK AT HER.
But SHOES ON SOFA ALERT. It’s forgivable because it’s CAREY POWER, who could put her feet ALL over my pillows, but women ALWAYS DO THIS, putting their shoes all over everywhere and everything, because they have no concept that they’re walking around city streets where disgusting people spit all over the place and that shoes are carrying untold germs… and yet they’re roll right in and sit down on a bed upside down with shoes on the pillows, like COME ON.
On a side note, ALL MEN’S SHOES have urine on them at ALL TIMES because men’s room floors are the most disgusting thing ever.
At what points in the video do the spoilers start and end? I want to watch, but I don’t want to be spoiled.
Why is he Spider-man? He should be Plastic Man! Look at that neck!
Only if you can tell me what’s wrong with it…
My apologies, J… I was literally running out of the house to go to the airport when I posted these…
And Josh_A… it depends what degree of spoiler you are concerned about. Some people consider the conceit of the film to be a spoiler… and I might be one of those..
Okies, looks like XHTML 1.0 with the p-tag disabled. Bum.
when i try to post it on my blog it wont work. :[ It says “video not available. I will credit you for the video, dont worry.
I already know the premise, I meant the spoiler that J says she gives away, the ending of the book/movie.
Love this interview – I just love hearing young actors who are smart about their choices and quite clearly about life around them.
Every time I see Andrew Garfield, I keep thinking its Mark Boal (sans beard, obviously).
Speaking of spoilers ** One Coming ** There were SPOILERS in the freckin’ trailer!! I hate, Hate, HATE THAT! ** I am so glad I hadn’t seen the trailer before seeing the movie. I went online to see what was sorta revealed in the marketing because I wanted to tell some people about it but didn’t want to give away anything more than absolutely necessary but there are pieces in the trailer I saw that not only come way late and in a climatic moment but do very little to piqué curiosity of the film. **END Spoilers**
I wish there was some way to stop this process.
Ich habe immer gern ein über solche Dinge zu lesen, ist mein Blog in Verbindung, wenn Sie einen Blick ringsum wenden Sie sich wünschen. Ich habe Ihnen meinen Favoriten hinzugefügt.
I love how intelligent these two are, and how genuinely invested they feel in their work. It’s refreshing to see these young actors who take so much love in their art and don’t care for the fame that comes with it!
Hooo man, internet bots are getting dumber.
First of all without a doubt that Conflict of Clans is one of the
most popular and great Android sport which is presently trending in the market.
