Une interview avec Aaron Eckhart

Sur Dark Horizon, on peut retrouver un compte rendus (datatn du 26/07) de la conférence de presse de Aaron Eckhart pour Conversations avec une femme /Conversations with Other Women. Elle contient de nombreux passages sur le film à venir.

Question: But you know we've been talking for quite a number of years and we've talked when you were doing press for the big movies and for the small movies and I know you've felt a certain frustration about the fact that the big films didn't quite... didn't quite do as well as you intended. You have a couple of big films that are coming out now, although they're very different kinds of big movies. Are you optimistic that could be the beginning of another phase again?

Eckhart: Well, yeah, I do because the one with Scott Hicks with Catherine Zeta-Jones...

Question: Untitled as yet apparently.

Eckhart: Well I think that they came up with No Reservations the last time I heard. I talked to Scott yesterday - I didn't ask him about that - but I think that's what they're going with. But it's a romantic film and it's Scott who is a very good sensitive director and more lyrical. Whatever happens to the film, it's still a credible film[...]

Question: For the Hicks movie did you have to learn to cook at all? What about you?

Eckhart: No, I'm in the same boat. But we learned to look like we could. I can sauté really well with both hands. Obviously you have experts there the whole time, and the great thing with Scott and the art director, boy, they made a set. They made this full kitchen on a set - it was a working kitchen - it was amazing. And I saw it yesterday because I looped for it and it looks great. But we were surrounded by top flight chefs so although I worked in restaurants in New York and Los Angeles. I hung out with chefs. I can chop any which way, know how to make gnocchi and spaghetti and all the sauces and all that sort of stuff, which was fun, and I think people will appreciate the film for that.
