Sharing my advice on acting, auditions, etc.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show behind the scenes (x)

Advertising company FIVE33 did a two-hundred page “bible” about robot boxing. Many of this information (which was meant for toys and video games) found it’s way into the movie. (x)

We talk with Olivier Assayas about the complexities of Clouds of Sils Maria, the genius of Kristen Stewart, and much more:

Honestly, I do think she’s much better in this film than in a lot of movies she’s done, but that was my concern. Because I think that Juliette, as great as she is, you know, sometimes she can be not so focused. So I knew I had to help her focus. But, for Kristen, I was amazed by how easy she felt with stuff that was completely unfamiliar ground for her. But then, the tiny thing — the nuances, the way she moves her body, the way she looks — that’s stuff that I discovered when I was editing. I was just amazed by the precision. You can’t really see that when you’re shooting. You record it, and you say, “Oh, yeah, this looks great. Let’s move on.” We move on to another shot, and then when you’re in the editing room and you watch stuff again and again, you realize the precision, the intelligence, the subtlety of what she’s doing. I was just constantly impressed.
