London Film Festival - Mendes' Magic Touch
t5m spoke to producer Sam Mendes at the premier of new film 'Things We Lost In The Fire', about how he had to ‘struggle’ to cast Benicio del Toro. The actor had reservations about the responsibilities of taking the role of a heroin addict. Thank goodness Sam Mendes coerced him; his performance is phenomenal."We had to fight for Benicio; he doesn’t commit lightly. I think he was very concerned, that playing a drug addict you’re taking on a whole subculture, taking on a whole way of being, moving, that you have to get right. And he did that, brilliantly". The film is a compelling insight into the lives of two people brought together by fate and grief. Halle Berry stars opposite the hard-to-tie down Benicio, as a newly widowed wife who provides shelter for her husband’s oldest friend. Sam worked on the film with the Danish director Susanne Bier. 'Things We Lost In The Fire' is the director’s first English-speaking movie. "She speaks English pretty well, and other than mispronouncing some of the actor’s names, it didn’t create any problems!" The film is the latest success in Sam’s career as a critically-acclaimed director and producer, which includes films 'Road to Perdition', 'The Kite Runner', and his Academy Award-winning debut 'American Beauty'. As for what’s coming up next, Sam’s currently finishing directing a film with his wife Kate Winslet and her old colleague Leonardo DiCaprio, called 'Revolutionary Road'. It’s the first time the pair have worked together on a film since the Oscar-winning 'Titanic'. Something tells us it’s going to be pretty special!

London Film Festival - Brody's Journey
Adrien Brody found filming in India more of an exciting experience than his character did! Making 'Darjeeling Ltd' with director Wes Anderson was a ‘personal journey’ for Adrien and co-stars Owen Wilson and Jason Schwartzman. "India was really great; we really had a chance to bond, and be on this adventure together, and I think it was because of how magical a place India is, and how welcome we were". Adrien played father-to-be Peter Whitman, one of three brothers on a pretty madcap train journey through India, in search of enlightenment, among other things. ‘It’s rare that the actor’s journey, or my journey as a person, is as exciting as the character’s journey. It was genuinely exciting, both on-screen and off’. We can look forward to two more exciting films from the Pianist actor; co-starring with Penelope Cruz in 'Manolete' and then Rachel Weisz in 'The Brothers Bloom' has got to get his heart racing a bit!

The British Independent Film Awards - Directors’...
Some of the movers and shakers in British film discuss the Awards, what they love about British films and which film, if any, they would make into a musical. t5m asked director of 'In The Shadow Of The Moon', David Sington, what is so important about British film? "Film is such an important medium and it’s a way for a society to look at itself and tell stories about itself and understand itself and if we’re not making films about Britain, then we’re missing out." No arguments there and his fellow director, Neil Marshall, adds that it’s just nice to have a lifeline of variety amongst the sea of American blockbusters on the market. In essence, British film is quintessentially refreshing. When it come to the big question - what makes a great film? - Sington is philosophical in his approach. "It’s the same ingredients that it’s been since the beginning of drama - Aristotle and the Greek playwrights…it works by identification with the characters and vicarious experience. So a film takes you somewhere hopefully that you otherwise wouldn’t be able to go and puts you in the shoes of someone you aren’t but you might be…"
