 Feast of Love is an ensemble piece about a number of characters' experiences in love, sometimes magical, sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes mysterious. "Well, I think it's a very eclectic approach to love, as we see of it," Freeman says of the script. "And you know, what are we generally talking about in here is love and many of its manifestations: sexual, interpersonal, group interaction. I was very intrigued by it. It covered a lot of ground, you know? It's very inclusive, shall we say. You feel like, yeah, I want to be involved in this. I feel good about taking part in this music." Freeman's character in particular, Harry Stevenson, is a complex figure: he's in a long and happy marriage, but is still grieving over the death of one of their children. "I have something to draw on," he says. "When I was, like, thirteen, my oldest brother died. And it was a huge family jolt, because he was the good kid. The best of us. And my grandmother's heart. And she was very religious. And I remember thinking the same thing that Harry said: God is either dead, or he hates us. I didn't put it in those terms, but I was certainly feeling that for someone whom my grandmother loved so much, to do that to her, and you can't imagine, if there is such a being, and he did that, something's wrong. So that is something that stays with you." Aside from Feast of Love, Freeman is also appearing in the upcoming Gone Baby Gone, directed by Ben Affleck ("It was an interesting experience; I think Ben's going to make a good director") and The Bucket List, opposite Jack Nicholson. "The experience of doing that was all it was cracked up to be. Working with Jack and Rob Reiner, you know, you look forward to going to work every day." Additionally, he's finally getting a dream project off the ground: a biopic in which he'll star as Nelson Mandela. Clint Eastwood and Matt Damon are both currently interested in joining the project. "It's on track. Script is done. And it's reached the top of the mountain...we've got every ingredient that we need." Yes, it might be easy to guess, but Freeman is also known as one of Hollywood's most prolific actors, often starring in upwards of three films per year. How does he keep it up? The answer, it turns out, is quite simple: "Money," he says. That's it? "Well, you know, you do so much of this for free when you're trying to make your career, that when you start getting paid, when they start calling you a professional, then that's what you are: how much does it pay? You know. So you [hear], 'I have this wonderful script. It ... |
