 “I think, for me, I’d leave any of that for [director Paul Thomas Anderson] to bring out if that’s what he wanted, but I certainly didn’t look at it as anything more than a story. I think it would’ve been dangerous for me to try to bring out some sort of political theory, or something other than just, you know, being truthful to the characters.” When the film was still in preproduction, Dano was actually only set to play the brother, Paul Sunday, with Kel O’Neill as Eli. O’Neill dropped out after shooting began, and suddenly Dano went from having a one-scene role to being the second lead and suddenly playing twins. “Double the pain,” Dano jokes about the experience. “No, I didn’t have a lot of time to think about things like that, and certainly relish the idea of getting a bigger part in this film, because of trying to throw myself into the character and that was the priority. I have to say, in retrospect, yeah, it was wonderful to get to spend more time in Texas with these guys here. I feel very lucky, and hopefully, you know, I was able to contribute to it in so short amount of time. That was my main concern, trying to make a contribution with not a lot of time to prepare, and stuff like that.” The entire experience has proved very successful – the film is a critical hit, and Dano’s name is being bandied about for an Oscar nomination for Supporting Actor. He’ll also appear in Where the Wild Things Are, Spike Jonze’s adaptation of the classic children’s book, which is set to come out sometime next year. It doesn’t sound quite as dark as what we’re used to from Dano, but after his performance in Blood, he can do what he pleases. |
