How Paul Dano and Zoe Kazan worked together on new film
Hollywood battles over screen credit are usually kept behind the scenes.
But new parents Paul Dano and Zoe Kazan were upfront about their
combative, collaborative process at the New York Film Festival debut of
their film “Wildlife.”
“Paul took one pass, and gave it to me for notes,” said Kazan.
“That wasn’t a very happy note-giving experience. I said, ‘I think for
the sake of our relationship, you should just let me rewrite this.’ And
we traded it back and forth for about three years.”
Directed by Dano, the final product stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Carey Mulligan.
Said a pal, “This film was their first baby.”
They welcomed daughter Alma in August.
Ang Lee, Mira Nair and Julie Taymor were at the after-party at the Ribbon sponsored by Casa Noble.
