It’s very easy to find even great actors reading it more like a reading. Things aren’t really coming alive yet, even though you know they will.

I have enjoyed her work for years and been amazed at how she gets into her own thoughts onto the screen in a very elegant and focused way. You have to see this.

From my limited experience, you can really blow test screenings by conducting them in the wrong way.

I think that for ‘Good Will Hunting’ I had an Elliot Smith record or a couple of them and I just somehow felt like the sound had something to it that reminded me of the story. So in that case there was music beforehand.

It has its own problems in trying to get at the reality of the situation.

So whether it’s my writing or not, I still try to work with it in the same way.

People in real life don’t really know where they are going to be either positioning themselves or how they will be saying their words. When people goof during the first take, it usually looks realistic. Download This Image

  • Share on Facebook Tweet this! Share on LinkedIn Share on Whatsapp Share on Telegram Gus Van Sant Quote - I have this new theory about films. It’s almost like astrology, where if we started on a Tuesday the film will be different than if we started on a Wednesday. Not because of the planets. It’s that sometimes you start with the wrong balance and the whole thing gets messed up.
