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.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
I kept wondering if Clint cast her because he’s a really big HAUTE TENSION fan.
Awesome actress and AWESOME MOVIE.

Oh, my GOD.
She is CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARMING.
Her accent is SEXY and she is SO FETCHING.
LOOK AT HER.
DP – any chance of doing more DP/30 with her ?
her next 2 movies are made in Europe so unless they
land over here and make a ton of money i’m guessing
no more US interviews for at least another year or two.
is she the French version of Sandra Bullock ?
Sanj is the funniest communication-barrier poster since Chucky in Jersey.

Julius, I thought YESTERDAY was International Caps Lock Day.
Just watched the interview on this site with the actress Cecil De France and couldn’t help but notice the striking resemblance she bears to Marily Monroe. Particularly in the eyes and eyebrows and a few profile shots where she turns her head. There is a resemblance also in the mouth area and the way she occasionaly licked her lips or the way her mouth moved. Her eyes also have a kind of smiley expression to them very similar to Monroe. Put a blond platinum wig on her and I think she would be a perfect recreation and a perfect person to cast if ever a film were made on Monroe’s life. Has anyone else noticed the same thing or was it just me?
I am glad that somebody thought this film was awesome besides me. It does drag along in parts but I think this was only because we expect there to be more dramatic highlights and Eastwood just lets these three stories unravel in a kind of slow and matter of factly kind of way. Once you accept this, the film becomes more engrossing. It’s a little bit more demanding than his previous films but well worth watching. While I sat in the movie theater watching it, there was a couple behind me who commented to each other, “where is this film going?” They didn’t stick it out and walked out before the film ended but at the end there were a few people who applauded the film. Whatever, this film stayed with me for days afterwards whereas a lot of films don’t do that for me.
Cecile de France is truly beautiful in Hereafter.
She has great sex appeal, feminiity, grace and vulnerability. Most American movie stars lack these features. I am looking forward to seeing more of her.
I just saw “Hereafter” last night (New Year’s Eve!). I have never even heard of Cecil de France before.. She just blew me away!! She a true beauty (in the classic movie star sense..she reminds me of Sophia Loren) and a very good actor. I loved the French speaking scenes in the movie. I could listen to her speak it for hours! Soooo sexy!! I’ll be keeping an eye on her career now. She is a true and unique talent!
I just want to mention that Cecile De France, altough her name might give the impression, is not a FRENCH but a BELGIAN citizen, born in Namur, South BELGIUM (French speaking region).
This said, I think she’s a great actor and she was just excellent in this movie!!
She is ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATING!!! That beautiful voice and face.A natural fabulous woman-and a very good actress. LOVE HER MADLY XXXXXXXXXXXX
I just watched “HEREAFTER” and completely fell in love with Ms Cecile de France .I don’t know if I read somewhere that you are Gay good for the girls bad for me , I don’t mind gay people , I wouldn’t want to come across like that I love everyone until they give me a reason not to , I’m not one to be shy about my feelings , Ms.de France you were perfect in that film , I loved everything about you , and I would love to speak to you , deritis19145@aol.com , JUST WISHING for a Miracle , You again are …WOW.
Oh my! This movie caught my attention in coming attractions months ago. I saw it recently and I was instantly glued to it by the screen presence of Cecile De France. This young lady is quite a talent and an extremely unique one at that. I gotta say that I can’t remember the last time or even ever that I was so taken by an actor. I can’t help but express how unbelievably attractive and impressionable she really is. She possesses a look that is just ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! I will certainly follow her career, to whatever country it takes her!!
I have not seen the movie yet. I just ran accross a picture my cousin had sent me when they were filming Hereafter in Maui. My cousin (rest his soul) was an extra when they were running down the street. I need to see the movie so I can see my cousin in his hour of fame. He passed away shortly after the filming. He had told me that Clint Eastwood is a very very nice person. He also was so excited to meet Cecile De France. God Bless you all…
