Sundance 2010 Video Interview: Writer/Director Galt Niederhoffer (THE ROMANTICS)
In Galt Niederhoffer's THE ROMANTICS, a group of longtime friends all come together one weekend at a lake house for the wedding of two of their best friends. The thing is they’ve all been so close for so long that they possess quite the sordid history with one another. It’s nothing but love, sex, drugs and indie music for a group that calls themselves The Romantics.
We recently sat down with the writer/director (who also wrote the novel by the same name) and discussed some of the challenges of adapting from the page to the screen, as well as what it was like to work with a cast of so many well-known actors and actresses (the film has an all-star cast including Katie Holmes, Anna Paquin, Josh Duhamel, Elijah Wood, Malin Akerman, Adam Brody, and more). Niederhoffer and I also talk great soundtracks, as that is an area where THE ROMANTICS definitely excels, like a mixtape on a perfect summer day with your window's rolled down.
