Keeping the Faith
We wouldn’t ever eat anybody, would we?
No. Of course not.
Even if we were starving?
We’re starving now.
You said we weren’t.
I said we weren’t dying. I didn’t say we weren’t starving.
But we wouldn’t?
No. We wouldn’t.
No matter what?
No. No matter what.
Because we’re the good guys?
Yes.
And we’re carrying the fire?
And we’re carrying the fire. Yes.
Okay.

DIRECTING
The Only Way is Up
His dad may be the mastermind behind the classic Ghostbusters, but with films like Thank You For Smoking, Juno and the forthcoming Up in the Air under his belt, Jason Reitman is making his own mark.
Your father, Ivan, is a veteran of the film industry and he’s acting as producer on Up in the Air. Has he always been an influence to you?
I’ve been showing my work to my father my entire life, starting with my maths homework all the way down to my short films. So I’ve always relied on his advice on these things; he’s the greatest storyteller I know, and he’s obviously read all my screenplays. He’s given me advice on everything, from those first horrible original screenplays that I wrote that taught me how to be a writer, and then the actual stuff that I made into movies. By the time we were doing Up in the Air it’s like we knew how to do the job together. In your producer you want someone you trust in, and I don’t trust anyone more than my father.

French Revolution
From Delicatessen to Amélie,
writer/director Jean-Pierre Jeunet has carved a unique path through cinema. He tells us why he always lets his creativity—and his collaborators—be his guide…
Such is the singularly unique nature of Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s vision, it’s hard to imagine him working on scripts with anyone else. Yet swiftly glance at his CV, and you’ll see that this most idiosyncratic of directors has always kept a creative collaborator close at hand. Most famously, he came to prominence with Marc Caro on 1991’s black comedy Delicatessen, having already worked with his co-director on a series of shorts. They reunited for 1995’s The City of Lost Children, working on the screenplay with Gilles Adrien (who had worked on Delicatessen and their early short The Bunker Of The Last Gunshots).
