 Rules was filmed right after the actors strike in 2001 and as a result, they ended up with a top notch cast and crew on a minimal budget. “Some sets your on, you just can’t wait to go home or go to the bar and have a beer,” he says. “This felt like we were at the bar; with out the beer. It was really an ideal work environment, because everyone involved believed in what we were doing.” This film puts James into situations that most people would never expect to see the actor in; masturbating, taking a dump, beating up women, and far less than perfect hygiene. But he does it all with a hold nothing back kind of attitude. “You get a script and you love it,” he begins. “You find a director that you trust, and it becomes all about how do I commit to this as fully as possible? And the last thing you can afford to have in your mind is what are other people going to think of this?” Coming from the somewhat conservative suburban town of Cheshire, Connecticut one would think that it’s going to be really hard for certain people, his parents in particular to see the fruits of all his hard work. “It’s gonna be damn near impossible!” he says with a laugh. This won’t be the first time that the Van Der Beek’s have seen their little boy in some compromising positions. “They’ve seen me do some crazy stuff on stage in New York. I did this Nicky Silver play that I told them ‘you can not come!’ that they snuck into anyway. Thank god I didn’t see them. But they were really cool afterwards. But I don’t know if there’s anyway to prepare them for the kind of situations they’re going to see their first born in tonight.” Some close friends have even found it difficult seeing James in this new light. “I saw it with this really sweet couple that my fiancé and I are friends with and she couldn’t even look at me afterwards.” While confident in the quality of work that he and the rest of the cast and crew put into the making of this film, James is not under the delusion that everyone will be praising them for it. “Not everyone is going to like it,” he admits. “It’s a brutal film and I think it’s going to upset a lot of people. But it’s even better than I thought it could be when I first read the script.” |
