Interview with Peter Weir about the "dumbing down" of Hollywood. |
| Synopsis |
Weir talks about how he was initially going to play the part of the director, Christof (played by Ed Harris) after his initial choice for the role, Dennis Hopper, pulled out because of "creative differences". The article talks about how Weir is from Australia and Niccol from New Zealand, and Weir denies that the two bought an "antipodean perspective" to the film. Weir talks about his intellectual appreciation of the theme of the film, and his desire to find an emotional angle, and to present the film in a manner which would still give audiences a laugh. The article also discusses Weir's background. |
