 Matt Damon
Interview By: Dan Portnoy
Click Here For Another Interview with Matt Damon! There are many young male actors in Hollywood who can make women young and old squeal with delight at the mere mention of their name. But few are as talented and as well known as Matt Damon. His charming personality and boyish good looks have made an impression on moviegoers both male and female alike, and you know the funny thing? He’s just as good humored and charismatic off the screen as on the screen. In his new movie, The Brothers Grimm, he along with Heath Ledger and directorial mastermind Terry Gilliam, help bring the delightful fairytales of old to the big screen with that cinematically dazzling Gilliam style of course.

The reason for all this scrupulous attention to detail, and striving towards perfection can be attributed to the film’s director Terry Gilliam. One of England’s most prominent directorial visionaries, Gilliam has brought us such films as Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Brazil, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Gilliam’s meticulous adherence to every facet of the film really put everybody involved with production to work. “So many people have to get their job right in order for his vision to come to life. He is really good at communicating specifically to each department exactly what he needs them to do.” Everything ran more smoothly and perfection was nearly achieved, which was something that impressed Damon all through out filming. “Everybody knows where they are on the set at all times and why they’re there and what they’re doing.” But in some cases knowing what you’re ... |
