00:00Ciao a tutti, dopo Cannes e il Festival di Venezia, arriviamo al Festival di Roma, anzi da quest'anno ribattezzata
00:07nuovamente Festa del Cinema di Roma,
00:09un'edizione un po' scarna, soprattutto dal punto di vista delle star, per esempio non c'è Cate Blanchett oggi
00:17per Thrut, di cui è protagonista,
00:19sarà anche Carol, il film sempre con Cate Blanchett qui al Festival, e pensavamo appunto che la diva sarebbe passata
00:25anche perché è a Londra,
00:26quindi Cate bastava che prendessi un aereo e stavi qui, e invece niente, Festival più intellettuale, come ha detto il
00:33nuovo direttore artistico Antonio Monda,
00:35e infatti inaugurano la coppia composta da Franz McDormand e Joel Cohen, dei fratelli Cohen, una coppia da Oscar che
00:43si è raccontata in un incontro molto interessante,
00:45diretto sempre dallo stesso mondo, in cui hanno raccontato come si sono incontrati per la prima volta per il film
00:51Blood Simple,
00:51il primo film dei fratelli Cohen, il primo film, il film d'esordio dell'attrice, ecco cosa hanno detto, e
00:57hanno poi rivelato altre aneddoti,
00:59come per esempio il fatto che George Cloone e Brad Pitt continuano a lamentarsi che i registi gli affidano sempre
01:06dei ruoli da deficienti,
01:08non vorrebbero più farli, invece ogni volta loro gli dicono siete perfetti, quindi continuate così.
01:13Well, we actually mette in a conference room in New York City where we were auditioning actors for the part
01:24of Abby
01:24that Fran ended up playing, and it was at the end of a very long process of meeting dozens and
01:31dozens of actresses
01:32and almost getting up, and then Fran came into the room and we went, well, there's something to do the
01:38part.
01:40I found out about it from a friend of mine, Holly Hunter, who had auditioned before, she really wanted to
01:45do it,
01:46she was doing a play on Broadway and they couldn't cast her, and I finally got an audition, walked in,
01:52Joel and Ethan were sitting at a table, there was a huge ashtray full, like this, of cigarettes in the
01:59middle.
01:59They had chain smoke the entire day, I immediately lit one up too, and we had a long conversation.
02:05and they asked me to come back that afternoon to, uh, I, they didn't give me the whole script,
02:12they only gave me a few scenes, so I didn't really know what it was about.
02:16They asked me to come back later that afternoon, I said, what time?
02:19They said, two o'clock, I said, I'm sorry, I can't.
02:22My boyfriend's on a soap opera, I have to watch it.
02:27Joel said, okay, how about four o'clock?
02:30I said, fine, and then I went and read the script and came back later, and Joel has always led
02:36me to believe that because I said no, that made it him more interesting, that's why they cast me.
02:44And this is all from the first day of the festival, tomorrow we'll see Jude Law, who is here in
02:50Rome to tour the new Fiction Sky,
02:54directed by Paolo Sorrentino, The Young Pop, from Movie Player and from Valentina, and it's all tomorrow.
03:05Thank you.
