» Stillman Speaks!

After years of silence and elusiveness, Whit Stillman shows his hand.... He begins:

I have a happy novelist friend who operates on the principle "first thought, best thought". My own experience has been "first thought, unbelievably stupid thought". If a producer wants something cliched, forced and unfunny that's also weird and meandering ... yes, I can turn that in within the contractually mandated 12 weeks.

UPDATE: News of his next film here.
