Loading ...Zoe Heller about Notes on a Scandal
The Observer has an interview with Zoe Heller about Notes on a Scandal, and the adaption of her novel to the screen.
The emphasis has been altered, too, in the way the character of Sheba’s husband, Richard, is portrayed. ‘Patrick has made Sheba’s family and her husband, in particular, a good deal more sympathetic than their prototypes. My Richard was a pompous old fart. The film’s Richard is … well, Bill Nighy: decent, kind, very attractive. I was sceptical about the new and improved Richard. I felt Patrick was trying to sneak in some family values. But I have to say, what he’s done really works. The scenes he’s invented between Richard and Sheba are fantastic.’
The film has a lot of Oscar buzz, both Cate Blanchett and Dame Judi Dench are nominated for a Golden Globe for this film, and so is Patrick Marber for the screenplay.
The film has it’s official US premiere tomorrow in New York. The UK has to wait until February.
