Egos, neurosis and other delusions of the great movie stars – ElEspectador.com

David Cronenberg (Toronto, 1943) is a machine owners. Perhaps the Canadian director is back all, or maybe just this freak of the scene is not interested in diplomacy. Anyway you five minutes are enough to shoot at least four sentences of insurance impact. And the number will multiply in a half hour meeting with a group of journalists from various countries.

I have no relationship with Hollywood ” boots, wearing an American and their magnetic blue eyes. Maybe that’s why Cronenberg could shoot from a distance Portrait ruthless heart egos and delusions film .

It is entitled “ Maps to the Stars “.

“I do not hate Hollywood, but I have no desire to make a film there. I’ve always been an indie director and perhaps why my films are often co-productions between Canada and Europe, “he concludes. In fact, the creator of “ Crash “, “ Fly ” and “ A History of Violence ” even he felt like a long roll on that scene. Convinced him screenwriter Bruce Wagner and his books on surrealism living in the brains of Hollywood: “10 years ago told me I had a script and I thought we could make a movie.” (See Trailer for “Maps to the Stars”)

The decade of delay is due to the difficulty in obtaining financing to roll into the Mecca of blockbusters. “Hollywood is a physical place, its past and its still enormous power. We had to shoot there,” adds Cronenberger the talk, held last Cannes . Once obtained the money-note the paradox that the United States this time involved in the production-director remembered Julianne Moore , which for eight years had been involved in the project. Still available and accepted the role of a diva willing to do anything for fame. (Read Robert Pattinson blush to talk about sex in Cannes).

Around Moore, filmmaker recruited a cast of stars thrown to humiliate the stars. John Cusack, Carrie Fisher and Robert Pattinson the others accepted laugh at his own darkness. Because the film exaggerates, but to some extent. Thus the writer Wagner began his career as the limousine driver of the film. And Cusack identified his childhood with Benji, insufferably egotistical brat whose success is proportional to the desire to attack him.

“The 72.5% of the work is done once chosen the deal. Much of the task a director is casting “argues Cronenberg. Among many divas, the director also chose exvampiro “Twilight,” Pattinson, who asked him to “Maps to the Stars” a little shade. “He said he was looking for a small role in a broader context but do not think there saved his career. There are girls screaming out wherever you go. “

Pattinson took the only decent character in a despicable environment . Although the tendency to dye their stories of black is a house brand Cronenberg. Among types that are excited by car accidents and gentle lords hiding a past shootings, Canadian nothing comfortable in violence. And that says it has not done “rather than comedies”. Although less provocative, added: “Nobody wants to see movies where everything goes well I have a tendency to look to the dark side seeking to illuminate some aspect of life that does not have enough light and that is how just in the dark…”

This is the legacy left to him was to be his profession scientist. And it Cronenberg has also inherited the habit of sticking to reality: “I am an atheist, I do not believe in ghosts I’m not paranoid and would say nothing gives me especially fear.”. Not even death? “I’m not entirely comfortable with the idea of ​​death. But is inevitable and not think anything later. Sometimes I think death is a freedom. Think of people suffering tied to a machine.”

Freedom, for Cronenberg, is also his movies. That is, do and have what he wants. And stay away from blockbusters: “Sometimes I’m stuck on a plane, just watching these films-man and shake my head Spiderman, Batman, Superman. I look stupid and boring I loved those comics but never thought that 200 million would be spent on. films about that. The idea of ​​having so much money is seductive but never do something as limited to a teenage audience. ” Another indirect, another owner. The last meeting with Cronenberg, just. But there will be more. Just give it five minutes and a microphone.
