We are very excited that the 30th Anniversary of Say Anything… will be back on the big screen at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival. Cameron will conduct a Q&A after the screening with Producer James L. Brooks, John Cusack and Ione Skye…and maybe a few other surprises too. More info over at Tribeca’s official site. We hope to see you there!
Going through boxes recently, we found the very first draft of “Say Anything….” It began as a story about a golden girl, Diane Court, who also worked in her father’s nursing home, helping the residents through their “Golden Years.” Over time, and many more drafts, the story also became about the lovelorn kick-boxing suitor — Lloyd Dobler — who identified himself and his mission in the very first scene. Lloyd was so much fun to write as a character, and the collaboration to come with actor John Cusack remains a crackling reminder of what happens when the right people come together.
