  • THE IDEA OF YOU: How Nicholas Galitzine and Anne Hathaway Created a New Kind of Romantic Comedy
    May 8 2024
    Writer/Director/Producer Michael Showalter recounts the journey of this year's romance THE IDEA OF YOU, recently released on Amazon and making waves for its grounded but fantastical portrayal of a 40 year old woman embarking on a whirlwind romance with a 24 year old pop star (Nicholas Galitzine). Showalter was a huge fan of both Anne Hathaway and romcoms, so when the book was presented to him to adapt and direct, he jumped at the opportunity. It was important to him to depict a confident woman who doesn't need to "find herself," but ends up finding love in the most unexpected of places.

  • CHALLENGERS: How Zendaya, Josh O'Connor, and Mike Faist Make Tennis Sexy in Luca Guadagino's Unabashed Film
    May 1 2024
    [WARNING: This content contains spoilers]

    When Producer Rachel O'Connor first read the script for CHALLENGERS, she was immediately intrigued. The character of Tashi, brought to life brilliantly by Zendaya, captivated her attention, as did a movie set in the world of tennis with an unabashedly sexy subplot. Once she got the writer on board with the producing team and approached Zendaya, the star knew this script would need a visionary filmmaker at the helm. Enter Luca Guadagino, the Italian director whose bold films have launched the careers of many young actors. The dynamic trio of Zendaya, Josh O'Connor, and Mike Faist spent weeks training as true tennis pros, and Luca's singular vision resulted in a film that is wowing audiences across the country.

  • FATHER OF THE BRIDE: How Steve Martin and Martin Short's Improv Led to Comedy Gold
    Apr 24 2024
    When Steve Martin first approached Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers about rewriting the script for a modern take on the 1950 Spencer Tracy film FATHER OF THE BRIDE, Charles wasn't sure. He thought the script was truly awful, but he took the meeting and told Steve the script wasn't good enough for him. Charles and Nancy proved a dynamic duo behind the scenes, creating scenes full of heart and humor for the dynamic duo of Steve and Martin on screen. Their comedy chops were matched by the wits of Kimberly Williams and the iconic Diane Keaton, whose role almost went to Goldie Hawn because the studio was nervous that Diane's last movie was a flop.
