We spoke w/ AaronSorkin about BeingTheRicardos, how he writes, and what happened to his ‘Houdini’ musical with Danny Elfman and Warren Beatty’s ‘Ocean of Storms.’
With Being the Ricardos now playing in select theaters and streaming on Prime Video, I recently got to speak with writer-director Aaron Sorkin about making his latest film. As a huge fan of his work, I went in with a million questions, and thankfully, he was game to talk about everything.
COLLIDER: If someone has actually never seen anything that you've done, what is the first thing you want them watching and why? SORKIN: Listen, as we sit here, for the first time in a long time, I don't know what I'm writing next. I don't have an idea for whatever is going to be next. So I don't have a passion project that's been in my pocket all these years that I've wanted made. So I'll have to let you know when I get an idea.
Same sort of thing, but Ocean of Storms that you worked on with Warren Beatty, which I don't know if you want to talk about. SORKIN: Well, it's something I've thought about a lot, and I've mentioned it to David. I think I'll leave it there. I don't want to make any news with regard to a Social Network follow up except to agree with you that there's more story.SORKIN: I'd love nothing more.
RELATED: Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem on ‘Being the Ricardos,’ Why Every Day Was a Challenge, and How They Prepare for a Big Scene By the time it got to me, it was in very good shape. So there wasn't a lot to do, but I still loved sitting with the editor and saying, "Let's shave four frames off that and get to the line faster. Let's use the two-shot here." That kind of thing. So I really do love the editing process. SORKIN: No, not much longer. There's one line that is on the cutting room floor. I can't think of anything else that was cut from the film. So it got shorter with tightening.
I would imagine that all the actors that you brought in ... If these actors and everyone are working for you, I think everyone's bringing their A game. You know what I mean? And I needed a way to convey that. So, I thought of this idea. Once you do that, you can't just do it once and leave it alone. It'll become an exposition machine. So I needed to thread them throughout the film and have them kind of join up with the story at the very end.
