For Variety’s FYC Fest, screenwriters Aaron Sorkin (“Being the Ricardos”), Paolo Sorrentino (“The Hand of God”), Adam McKay (“Don’t Look Up”), Tracey Scott Wilson (“Respect”) and Kenneth Bran…
gathered virtually to discuss their own individual movies, as well as the state of the film business.
Though the writers’ films varied in subject and execution, there was common ground between Sorkin and Wilson, who’d written biographical portraits of iconic artists, and Branagh and Sorrentino, who had both delved into painful events from their own childhoods. As for creating Aretha Franklin — who was, as Wilson said, “very, very private” — as a character for Jennifer Hudson to play in “Respect,” she said: “A lot of the things that I learned about her were from other people. Through her sisters. She grew up around a lot of very famous people who spoke about her.”
For Branagh, the early days of the pandemic inspired him to write “Belfast,” his memoir about his childhood experiences of The Troubles in Northern Ireland, which led his family to move to England. “I found that generally life seemed much more silent,” he said. “There were no planes in the sky. I’ve got a dog; I walked the dog a lot. And when the planes stopped and the motor cars stopped, the sounds for me of Belfast came into my head.
