E’ James Gray ad anticipare a The Playlist di essere in fase di contaggio del suo nuovo film Low Life.
Il film girato nella New York di inizio secolo è interpretato da Joaquin Phoenix, Marion Cotillard e Jeremy Renner: è la storia di due donne che emigrano dalla Polonia. Una delle due viene fermata ad Ellis Island. L’altra, una volta a New York, viene forzata ad entrare nel mondo del burlesque e del vaudeville, finché non appare un mago che spera di salvarla e farla riunire con la sorella…
I tried on this movie in particular, to be as uninspired by movies as possible. I want it to be it’s own thing. So I don’t know what the inspiration is…I tried very hard to not to steal from anything — I’m sure I did, by the way, I’m not saying I made anything brand new — not consciously, is what I mean.
It will be done in 15 weeks from now. So I think the goal — to the degree that I have goals like this, because I don’t make goals for film festivals — I think that the goal would probably be to try to make Venice and Toronto. Maybe not Venice because that’s really quick…but I think the goal would probably be to make Toronto.
[In realtà Venezia e Toronto si sovrappongono per un paio di giorni…]
I think it’s going to be my best work. What I shot was not just my best work, but the actors doing their best and I’m very excited about it for that reason. I’m extremely excited, like I said it’s the best thing I’ve done.
Il prossimo film di James Gray dovrebbe invece essere il thriller The Gray Man con Brad Pitt protagonista. Appena i calendari dei due saranno liberi il film si farà.
