Morrone recalled, 'I could hear my heart thumping in my ears. I was black-out nervous.'
The Big Picture The stars aligned for Patricia Arquette’s feature directorial debut in every respect. The Emmy and Oscar-winning actor was ready to get behind the lens with decades of experience under her belt, she found hugely promising material to work with and put together an ensemble that was eager to swing big, play, and try just about anything.
PATRICIA ARQUETTE: I always loved Hunter S. Thompson. It's inspired by his spirit and him. It's different, also. It's fiction. It's based on a book. But I love Hunter S. Thompson and I love that world, and I loved the ‘90s growing up as a young woman. I like this idea that it was some kind of a mix between a ‘90s movie and the ‘60s, kind of ‘70s world of Walker Reade’s character.
Of course much is inspired by Hunter S. Thompson and we want to respect that source, but it's like that old maxim, “You can't do your research,” you know? We had to make something else in order to make it alive and not be just a movie where you recognize something and you feel satisfied with that.
I think also what I really wanted to focus on, which I thought worked really well while finally getting to watch the final cut last night, was just the love between these two characters. And I think that you do realize that there was a relationship there and it was love. There was a romance, and these people were in love, and I think that that was important on day one of rehearsals, that's what we instantly went into.
ARQUETTE: Like, there was this scene after the party, after he sees her kissing Larry where he freaks out and has a temper tantrum and sends everyone outside. When we go outside, he had this long speech, and it was another very up scene, and that makes sense. Okay, now he wants to take over the space, but it just didn't feel right. So Willem was sitting there, I was freaking out, we were the first day in overtime, we had all these extras, but I was like, “This isn't working.
Something I really learned in my own process through Willem was how much Willem respects the writing and the words. I think I grew up maybe at a time where it's a little more lax throwing in words that help me get closer to the character and help her come to me instead of me having to go to her, and there's a real respect for language with him.
