Feature Interviews and Essays
Femme Fatale: Interview with Brian DePalma
Because Brian DePalma is such a great visual stylist, many people often forget that he also wrote many of his best films. Here he speaks with David Konow about his return to screenwriting and making noir work in the modern context of Femme Fatale.
Chicago: Interview with Bill Condon
Since winning an Oscar for Gods and Monsters, Bill Condon has had to fight against being typecast as a bibliographical or gay-themed writer. Luckily, for him and us, he was given the opportunity to update the Broadway classic Chicago. Here he discusses his writing technique and illustrates why he was the perfect writer for the job.
Adaptation: Interview with Charlie Kaufman (and Spike Jonze)
It's a Charlie Kaufman world and we're just trying to make sense of it. Mr. Low-Self-Esteem himself has reason to smile with three of his screenplays produced in just one year, but as Jeff Goldsmith's interview proves, Kaufman is not exactly revelling in his ""writer of the moment"" status. The two talk about the strange worlds of Adaptation and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, and Spike Jonze drops in with his two cents on Adaptation's continual adaptation.
Gangs of New York: Interview with Jay Cocks
There are a few writers who fall under Martin Scorsese's go-to guy category-Paul Schrader, Nicholas Pileggi, Mardik Martin-but none have as close a relationship to him as Jay Cocks. In his interview with David Konow, Cocks discusses their twenty-five year dream of bringing Gangs of New York to the screen, and dishes the skinny on Star Wars and Mean Streets.
