C’était entre deux « yummy sexy beasts » Tina Fey et Robert Downey Jr, juste avant de présenter l’Oscar du meilleur scénario…

Ça va comme suit…

***

Fey: Great movies begin with great writing.

Downey: What does an actor look for in a script? Specificity. Emotional honesty. Catharsis.

Fey: And what does a writer look for in an actor? Memorizing. Not paraphrasing. Fear of ad-libbing.

Downey: Actors want scripts with social relevance, warm weather locations, phone call scenes that can be shot separately from that insane actress that I hate, and long dense columns of uninterrupted monologue, turning the page, and for instance seeing the phrase, « Tony Stark, continued. »

Fey: And we writers dream of a future where actors are mostly computer-generated and their performances can be adjusted by us, on a laptop, alone.

Downey: It’s a collaboration, a collaboration between handsome, gifted people and sickly little mole people.
