Writer-director brothers Paul ("About a Boy," "The Vampire's Assistant") and Chris Weitz ("The Golden Compass," "Twilight: New Moon") talk about their eclectic career choices, their family's backgound in the film industry and the new film "A Better Life."
This interview is presented by the Writers Guild of America, West's Latino Writers Committee. The LWC seeks to enhance the visibility of Latino writers in the industry -- to elevate their status and increase their participation. It also attempts to fight pervasive stereotypes about Latinos -- in front of and behind the cameras.
I loved, "About a Boy" - it was the most unique "Hollywood Movie" made in a long time, and I am actually wondering how it was ever made. The movie had no robots, explosions, vampires, sex, superheroes, guns, and no one was even killed - yet got made. My faith in Hollywood is re-new. Thank you, Mr Weitz for taking a chance and making movies that aren't just trying to cash in, but instead make people think about humanity. Looking forward to seeing the "Gardener".
