PAUL SALFEN TALKS TO DIRECTOR JAMES PONSOLDT ABOUT ‘THE SPECTACULAR NOW’
“I’ve never had much interest in directing someone else’s script because there are so many stories I want to tell of my own,” he explains. “So I kind of begrudgingly sat down to read this. Right from the start, it was a really fast, engaging read, but I still didn’t know if I wanted to spend time with this guy Sutter and all his cynicism and arrogance. But by page 10, everything changed. Sutter falls on his face – literally and Emotionally – and then he wakes up to this girl who changes his life. Suddenly, from then on it was a story I related to more than anything I’ve ever read.” – Ponsoldt
