Joaquin Phoenix On Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Inclusive” Nature
Joaquin Phoenix’s most frequent collaborations have come with director James Gray (The Immigrant, Two Lovers, The Yards, We Own The Night) and Inherent Vice marks his second cinematic experience with filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson (their first was the 2012 drama The Master).
During the interviews for Inherent Vice, Joaquin Phoenix talked about why he loves collaborating with Paul Thomas Anderson:
“He’s really inclusive and warm and thoughtful – He’s one of those people that makes you feel you’re important and you have value – even if you don’t. He deserves all the credit.”
Phoenix also added that Anderson’s approach to a scene isn’t based on rigid story structure, but instead the auteur enjoys exploring the creative avenues that each moment of film provides. Click on the media bar below to hear Phoenix’s full answer:

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Loves Sin City’s Green Screen Universe
Joseph Gordon-Levitt enters Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller’s universe with Sin City: A Dame To Kill For. It’s a plum role for the actor, as he plays a can’t lose gambler who strides into Sin City with the sole purpose of embarrassing Senator Roark (Powers Boothe). Unfortunately for Johnny, Roark has the town on a string, and his powerful grip may be too much for our young hero to handle.
To deliver an effective performance with Sin City’s black and white world, one must carry a great deal of imagination. Green screen is their basic canvas, but for Gordon-Levitt that wasn’t a huge problem. “I actually loved working in the green environment,” said the actor. “And just fully embracing an abandonment of realism.”
