: Taken from an email Lee sent me just today. Words from the man, the legend, himself...
: "I understand. I really do. I understand how a company like Miramax works, and quite
: frankly I don't feel like fighting them for a project that I probably don't feel as passionate
: about now as I did 2 years ago. Of course that's no offense to you, it's just that I don't feel
: as interested in doing comedies lately. Would Fletch be a typical comedy? No. Are you a
: typical comedy director? No, of course not. But still, it seems to be how I feel. It also has a
: lot to do with the fact that I've started Stereo Skateboards again, am having a son, am
: planning on finally directing (my script) next year, and have grown pretty fond of smaller
: movies. New experiences, different experiences. Trying to expand, yet simplify at the same
: time. Prioritize my creativity, you know? This very small movie that I'm working on right now
: with Daniel Day-Lewis has really brought me back to "the Chasing Amy time in my life" and
: has helped restore a lot of my drive and enthusiasm for acting. Not sure if any of this makes
: much sense to you, but something tells me it does."
...just out curiousity, was it OK'ed by him that you post this? Some of this is stuff that I don't recall he's announced that maybe he didn't want announced yet.
But I'm just being anal and it's none of my business and, although I've been on your side for whatever you choose to do, it is nice to hear his comments.
Bravo all,
Glen
