John Goodman Talks About Oscar Front Runner "The Artist"
Independent Films, Movie Reviews, Interviews, Film Profiles
"The Artist" is unstoppable this awards season! And yes, it's going to win Best Picture Oscar, so watch the film right now! My favorite movie of 2011, was a silent film that has a lot to say! And our friend, John Goodman, stars as the uber-producer Al Zimmer. In the film, he shepherded Peppy Miller's character (Berenice Bejo) while unwittingly ruining George Valentin's (Jean Dujardin).
In this interview, we talked about:
*** How did he get attracted to working on "The Artist?"
*** Did he channel Harvey Weinstein for the character of Al Zimmer? HA!
*** The production process of making "The Artist"
*** At the heart of "The Artist," is the unwillingness of Valentin (Dujardin) to work in talkies
Have Fun!
