From Hellion to Hot Property (article)

( 'I just want to up the ante,' he says. 'In this country, I seem to work with a lot of first-time directors. And at this point, I can't risk being fucked with by people who are too neurotic with their material to allow me to do what I want.' And, like Gross, Rennie is unhappy with the kinds of roles available in Canada. 'Things have to change in the way we make movies,' he says. 'We don't write for heroic characters.' Rennie seems to have his mind set on leaving Canadian the archetype in the dust. )

I love that article.

And wow, he's changed a lot in the last ten years, hasn't he?

c_regalis April 10 2008, 21:08:38 UTC

Oh yes, he has. Reading this, I kind of get that he refers to his late thirties as "very young". Somehow, he was. Apparently.

And yes, I love this one too. ♥

i LOVE this. because, for normal people, late 30s is like, "i know who i am now" time, right? *pets*

for normal people, late 30s is like, "i know who i am now" time ... oh man, I AM SO NOT NORMAL. !! :)

Whereas if you chucked Callum out of a plane, it would be fine

HEEE!!! "look ray, turtles!"

c_regalis April 10 2008, 21:16:16 UTC

*g* Also, Callum is SPIKIER. *hearts*

meresy April 10 2008, 21:06:16 UTC

But I think our relationship is more combustible.

Heh. That's one word for it.

Aww, Callum.

We keep a cool exterior, and underneath it's sort of a lot of other stuff.

A lot of dorky, dorky stuff. &hearts

A lot of dorky, dorky stuff. ♥

Ha! Indeed! ♥ (And somewhere, still hidden deep inside? Is GOLF.)

Well, even if Hollywierd turned out to be a bust, he found his TRU WUB, right?

c_regalis April 10 2008, 21:40:59 UTC

Well, yes. ol\o/

hyzenthlay26 April 10 2008, 21:21:49 UTC

Aw! Callum is spikier! And Paul is whacked! <3

c_regalis April 10 2008, 21:42:05 UTC

Both true! And you KNOW it. :)

Y'know, this is acutally the first mention of him owning something other than a Ford? Except I think Ford and Mercury are like linked or summat?

And then what happened to this truck, anyway? Cos' in the next interview he's got an F-150, silver, lightning package.

Heh. That sounds dirty.

But there was instant chemistry with Gross.

Yeah, we kind of noticed that. *g* I am astounded by the changes that these ten years have brought.

I am astounded by the changes that these ten years have brought.

Yeah, it's quite impressive, isn't it? I guess that's what you get for once L.A and back. Especially if you still feel like a kid when you are in your late thirties. *g*
