In between the ceremonies (and the three dozen film every day), the festival assembled a couple of heavyweight weekend panels to talk about filmmaking. Saturday’s screenwriters panel, moderated by Anne Thompson, was a collegial affair, with Mark Boal (“The Hurt Locker”), Pete Docter (“Up”), Geoffrey Fletcher (“Precious”), Alex Kurtzman (“Star Trek”), Nancy Meyers (“It’s Complicated”), Scott Neustadter (”(500) Days of Summer”) and Jason Reitman (“Up in the Air”).
Reitman and Meyers agreed that it’s easier to write with an actor in mind – Meyers, in particular, said that if she doesn’t envision a lead actress when she’s writing, she thinks of herself. It’s much more productive, she said, for her to think of, say, Meryl Streep (as she did while writing “It’s Complicated”), because the Meryl character will be braver and more resourceful than the Nancy character.
The disadvantage, Reitman added, is that sometimes you can’t get that person: he said he wrote “Thank You for Smoking” with George Clooney in mind, but Clooney “had no interest.”
Boal said that he was told that “The Hurt Locker” could obtain financing only if Ralph Fiennes, who had worked with director Kathryn Bigelow on “Strange Days,” would agree to play a role. So he wrote the part of a British diplomat (complete with a juicy monologue he figured would appeal to Fiennes) specifically for the actor – only to go to lunch with Fiennes and find that while the actor loved the rest of the script, he thought that particular scene and character was “terrible,” and would never consider doing it.
Over lunch, said Boal, he learned that Fiennes would prefer not to wear a suit, and liked the idea of playing a mercenary – hence the scene, born out of his desperation to land Fiennes, in which the bomb unit runs across a team of British mercenaries in the desert, and ends up attacked by snipers.
“People say, ‘Why is there a sniper scene in the middle of a movie about bombs?’” he laughed. “I never told the truth about it before, but that’s why.”
