In an interview with THR Canadian director David Cronenberg shared his memories of his life and talked about his film "Dangerous Method," which premiere took place on September 2, 2011 during the Venice Film Festival. Below are some excerpts from an interview with the director.
About casting
Despite the fact that Cronenberg understands the reason for which Christian Bale has declined to the role, the leave from the project of Christoph Waltz still causes irritation in director: "Christophe, one might say, was eager to participate in the project. He persuaded me to give him the role of Freud's, his grandfather was a disciple of Freud. After "Inglorious Bastards" all German sponsors were willing to invest under his name, and when Walz left, disappeared and the money, at least, most of them. "
About sponsorship
Funding for the project, which cost $ 20 million, was held with the participation of independent German, Canadian, French and other businesses and sponsors, some of whom continued to sign the agreement after the start of shooting. Cronenberg describes it this way: "It was like the recovery of Frankenstein: 15 organizations were involved, and they all had to sign papers at the same time”.
About Viggo Mortensen
Mortensen, who worked in two films of Cronenberg -"History of Violence" and "Eastern Promises" - and received an Oscar nomination for the last, has rejected proposal of director to play the role of Sigmund Freud. "Viggo explained his refusal with the health problems of his parents" and that "does not see himself in the image of Freud", - says Cronenberg. After Fassbender and Knightley have signed contracts, the director once again spoke with Mortensen. This time the actor said yes.
About "Scanners"
During the filming of "Scanners," Cronenberg had to act as a witness in the case of the death of two women, passing on the highway past the film set and stopped to watch the process.
"They slowed down and the guy who was driving behind them - no. His car crashed into them at full speed. One of my men rushed the fence and began to pull women out of the car, but they were already dead. It was the first day of shooting. I thought, if I can survive this - I can survive anything. "
About Martin Scorsese
"He said that he was afraid to meet with me, and said it seriously. He saw the "Cramps" and "Crazy" and said that he thinks these movies devastating. I told him, "Marty, you're the man who directed "Taxi Driver"!"
About "Cosmopolis"
Despite the fact that "Dangerous method" will be released worldwide until November this year, the director had already engaged in the following project: "I mount my new film, "Cosmopolis", which is an adaptation of Don DeLillo novel."

Award-winning American director Steven Soderbergh has recently announced his retirement from the movie, but at the same time appeared on the site of the upcoming film adaptation of "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins. Moreover, acted as a filmmaker of the second crew.
But everything becomes clearer, given the long friendship of the author of "Traffic" and director of "The Hunger Games" Gary Ross. Just recently Soderberg commented on his participation in the creation of a picture to the blog Moviefone.
"It's very simple. In April, Gary Ross (he is my close friend with whom I exchanged continuously creative suggestions for the last 15 years) received the consent of the shooting. He called me and said, "Hey, in the first week of August I will have a couple of days for the second crew. Do you have the opportunity to come and help me? I prefer that it was you who did it, than to hire someone unfamiliar. " I replied: "Yes. We're just finishing "Infection" and preparing for the "Magic Mike", yes, it can be fun. "
"After a couple of months, I declare and get down to business. Of course, speaking about the general design of the film, the most interesting is that my job was to come in and done exactly duplicate Harry and operated by Tom Stern. Simulate them in terms of style, as far as I can. This is trying to do. But if I'm doing my job properly - I hope that everything just so - in terms of style, you can not say where here is my statement. Because the installation is supposed to give seamlessness footage. That's it. That's why Gary asked me to come to him because I knew that I would do everything in strict accordance with the material. "
The film tells of the harsh world of the future, where teens are forced to take part in a deadly battle with each other. The movie release is scheduled on 22 March 2012.
Paul Greengrass is thinking about “Fear Index”
(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...
The director, who made his name on spy thrillers about amnesiac agent James Bourne, a very long time is trying to choose his new project. Since Universal has refused to fund the biopic about Martin Luther King "Memphis", Paul Greengrass went through a lot of projects. Another can be a film adaptation of Robert Harris's new novel, "Fear Index".
Greengrass has been proposed to shoot remake of "Fantastic Voyage", which eventually went to Sean Levy. Interestingly, all the same Shawn Levy can take on the project "Frankenstein" for the studio Fox, who was also originally offered to Paul Greengrass. Director of "The Bourne Ultimatum" was flirting with the biopic about Cleopatra, with the thriller "Race", which took place Ron Howard, as well as the history of the brave captain of the ship "Maersk Alabama". Will Greengrass shoot a drama with Tom Hanks, yet it is not known, but there are rumors that this project will find another director.
The new object of director interest became not yet published novel by Robert Harris "Fear Index." The hero of the book, a brilliant scientist, Alex Hoffman, creates a very lucrative hedge fund, based on the computer, able to predict human mood swings. Hoffman world is turned upside down when a burglar breaks into his house and makes the encounter with one of the most unpleasant human emotions - fear. After some time in the financial markets starts panic and the world begins to change.
The novel will be published in Britain in September, and in the States - in January of next year. Robert Harris personally will write the script. Note, that the novels of the writer have already been filmed several times, including "Enigma" and the recent "Ghost" by Roman Polanski.
Thus, a list of unfilmed movies of Paul Greengrass can be replenished with another project. But we still hope that at least one picture of the above, director will bring to the big screen.
