Eric Aronson has carved out a successful 25-year career in screenwriting. His directing debut “Any Day Now” is a lifelong dream fulfilled. “I worked on a lot of movies and none of it ever felt the final product never really felt like what my voice sounded like to me,” said Aronson, whose previous screenplay credits include ‘Mortdecai’ and ‘On The Line.’ So I saved up for many years and waited a long time to make this movie.” Check out our interview with Aronson as he talks about his creative journey behind “Any Day Now,” a movie that is “based on a true-ish art heist of Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
Written by Eric Aronson, “Any Day Now” centers on Steve (Taylor Gray), a night watchman who is in debt and unfortunately also in love with his best friend’s girl. Actor Paul Guilfoyle is Marty Lyons, a manipulative individual who brings Steve into his seductive and corrupt world. Marty offers Steve the chance to rob an art museum, a criminal operation which may clear his debt.
Steve (Taylor Gray) is a night watchman in his early 20s but his life is already getting away from him: his band is falling apart, he owes a ton of money, and he’s in love with his best friend’s girl. When Marty Lyons (Paul Guilfoyle) comes along and ropes Steve into a world of misfits, oddballs, and lost souls as dirty as the Charles River, Steve wonders if this is a change for the better of if he’s about to make the worst mistake of his life.
Although he was not blessed with a huge budget, Aronson did not want to make “Any Day Now” an indie driven feature where the locations are few and far between. He wanted to be right in the middle of a tentpole Hollywood production and a lo-fi indie project. “ The more control you have and the more personal it becomes and you can tell your story,” said Aronson. “So my next film I might want to make . . . can I make it even cheaper and can I get the same bang for my buck? And can I be creative about it and make it feel a lot bigger while costing less?”
