Not a whole of news to report today. However, Winston-Salem Journal recently sat down with Stone playwright and screenwriter Angus MacLachlan to discuss the upcoming John Curran-directed film adaptation starring Milla Jovovich opposite Robert De Niro and Edward Norton. The film is currently in production in Michigan. Some highlights from the Winston-Salem Journal:
Angus MacLachlan has spent several weeks this month watching Robert DeNiro and Edward Norton recite words he wrote. “It’s fantastic,” MacLachlan said. “It’s amazing to sit there and watch them work…. When you meet celebrities, you have to act like you’re really cool with it, but then every once in a while he’ll say a line and you’ll say, ‘Oh, my God, that’s Robert DeNiro!’”
DeNiro and Norton are two of the stars of Stone, a feature film written by MacLachlan that’s now being shot in Michigan. The cast also includes Milla Jovovich and Frances Conroy. John Curran (The Painted Veil) is the director.
MacLachlan, a Winston-Salem screenwriter and playwright, is best known for the 2005 film Junebug and the short film Tater Tomater. He originally wrote Stone as a play in 2000. The film’s release date has not yet been set, but it will likely be in 2010.
“The basic story of the film, when you get down to the heart of it, is this man in prison (Norton) trying to get his case manager Jack (DeNiro) to recommend him for parole,” MacLachlan said. “He tells his wife (Jovovich), who’s on the outside, to seduce Jack and compromise him. It’s reflective of what’s happening in the entire world, that when you build your life on leverages and false structures, when those start to collapse, how do you then justify your actions, morally or otherwise?”
