The Rogers Revue
Here we are with another round of Director’s week of INTERVUE! In today’s edition, I interviewed director Theodore Melfi. He directed a celebrity I would like to interview one day – the one & only Bill Murray in his directorial debut, St. Vincent. The movie focused on the life of Vincent, a retired curmudgeon with a penchant for alcohol and gambling. Suddenly, he gets new neighbors; Maggie played by comedienne Melissa McCarthy and her 12-year-old Oliver played by newcomer Jaeden Lieberher. Somehow, this odd pairing of ordinary people begin to help each other grow up.
I heard that you had to get to Bill Murray through a 1-800 number, is that correct?
That’s correct. Bill Murray doesn’t have an agent or a manager; he just has this 1-800 number. So, you just call this 1-800 number and if Murray calls you back, he calls you back. If he doesn’t, he doesn’t.
How long did it take from the initial call from the time he called you back?
Wow, it’s been three years ago, so I want to say two months.
That’s not bad.
It doesn’t feel like it but it was a long time for me at the time. It felt like an eternity.
What was it like to work with Bill Murray?
Look, we throw this word around a lot, genius. Bill Murray is a true cre
