Mr. Beaks And Pierce Brosnan Ponder The Paranoid Politics Of THE GHOST WRITER!
Given that Adam Lang, the disgraced former British Prime Minister of Robert Harris's bestselling political thriller THE GHOST, bears a rather uncomplimentary resemblance to one Mr. Tony Blair, it's unlikely the real-life former British Prime Minister was at all interested in who might play the thinly-veiled him in Roman Polanski's big-screen adaptation, THE GHOST WRITER. However, when he found out his fictional counterpart would be played by ex-007 Pierce Brosnan, one can't help but wonder if Blair didn't at least let out a tiny squeal of delight. The film might take him for a cuckolded buffoon, but at least he'd be a suave cuckolded buffoon.
While Lang's alleged misdeeds mirror those of Blair's, Brosnan thought it best the resemblance not extend to Lang's physical appearance: ergo, rather than don a comically large pair of prosthetic ears, he gives Lang the ol' movie star sheen. It's a wise decision; anything on the nose would've launched the film into spoof territory. It is, however, worth noting that when the crowds and the cameras aren't around, Lang throws tantrums that are downright Bush-like in their sense of entitlement. As Brosnan says in the below interview, Lang is a man who's used to being loved and getting his way; now that he's in exile, dodging charges that he illegally extradited British citizens to Guantanamo Bay, he's turned into a petulant child. So, for this American at least, it's enticing to view Polanski's film as something of a double indictment.
Since THE GHOST WRITER is told exclusively from the perspective of the young writer (Ewan McGregor) hired to take down and shape the Prime Minister's memoirs, we're never allowed access to Lang's thoughts (or lack thereof). Is he a cipher or a brilliant statesman who got drunk on power during a time of war? Every time we think we know the answer, Polanski and Harris (who's nimbly adapted his own novel) throw us for a loop. But what really confounds us - and what helps make the film an enormous amount of fun - is that behind Brosnan's carefully constructed facade, there's the potential for both.
This is my favorite Brosnan performance since his underrated turn in Richard Shepard's THE MATADOR, so I was delighted to sit down and chat with him a few weeks ago during an eerily quiet Los Angeles press day. With nearly everyone out of town for the Sundance Film Festival, the vibe was unusually relaxed at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons. Neither of us felt rushed, so, after a couple of minutes of small talk, we just casually worked our way into talking about the movie. All interviews should go this smoothly.
Pierce Brosnan: Well, I'm proud of the movie. I've been a big fan of Mr. Roman Polanski's since ROSEMARY'S BABY. I've always held him in high esteem as a moviemaker. When I got the call, I was in London, and was asked if I'd like to meet with him. So I hopped on the train to Paris, had a bit of lunch with him, talked about the movie, and established that I wasn't doing an imitation of [Tony] Blair. I would just play it as if I was an actor playing the Prime Minister! That's what my job entailed. Within it is the tragedy of this man's lost life, mangled by [spoiler] and his own stupidity. He's caught in the crosshairs.
Mr. Beaks: Because of his theater background, I imagine Adam Lang came into office envisioning himself as one of Shakespeare's kings.
Brosnan: It's wildly Monty Python-ish if you take it those extremes. (Laughs) He got so carried away and enamored of his performance on stage, and applauded by his peers of the day, he thought he could be a politician - and did become one! He was very good with the written word and speeches, but his intellectual drive was somewhat lacking.
Beaks: Do you think it's a lack of life experience or education that is his ultimate undoing?
Brosnan: It's his ego that gets in the way. He's not paying attention. And before he knows it, [spoiler again]. It's so shocking. As a grown man, he's so weak. And getting to play that is rather enjoyable and funny.
Beaks: Do you think he's aware of how weak he looks to everyone around him?
Brosnan: I think he does at this point in the story. He's cornered by his ego, his lack of awareness and his fallibility as a politician. I think he's very aware that life has slipped him by, and he doesn't know how to get out of it. He's caught in this vortex: he signed off on papers between the Americas that he shouldn't have signed off on; he's walked into issues that were way over his head. He's a tragic fellow, really.
Beaks: So he's hoping his memoirs will restore his good name and resuscitate his political career.
Brosnan: But that's even hollow for him as well because he has nothing to say. The book is a whole front. (Pauses and smiles.) I knew the story, and yet it held me to the end. I think the film jumps out the track really fast and furious, then slows and loses its way, and then kicks back at the end. There's always, because of the Polanski touch, that claustrophobic camera. And I think the ending is brilliant.
Beaks: The film is unmistakably Polanski, but he never made a paranoid political thriller during his '70s prime. So, in a way, it feels like his nod to the movies of Alan J. Pakula or Sydney Pollack.
Brosnan: Very much so. It's really a throwback to old-style filmmaking and storytelling. As you say, he never made a political thriller, so for him to go back to the thriller genre... you're aware, as an actor, that you're in the hands of one of the great conductors. When I was working with him, he just loved the camera so much. He was always beside the camera, never on the monitor; he was always right there looking at you. So you have this interconnect, this rapport with the fellow. His viewfinder was ever at the ready. (Laughs) I was sitting on the dolly one day watching him do a close-up with an actor, and I looked in his bag of tricks beside the camera and saw his viewfinder. It's old, worn, and burnished with time; all the numbers have been rubbed off, and there's all this gaffer's tape. You look through it, and it's like looking through some ancient dark glass. He's obviously had this for many years. It's always with him. And he's always at that camera trying to heighten the experience for the audience.
Beaks: It seems like every director needs to be on monitor nowadays. Have you ever worked with another director who wasn't?
Brosnan: No. Every director I've worked with is on monitor. Very rarely, they sit beside the camera to say "Action". But they're usually in the other room watching the monitor. I mean, there's no right or wrong way; at the end of the day, if the thing works, that's it. Roman just loves making films. I suppose if there's any lesson, it's just that of living a very long, very complicated, very tragic life - but still being very passionate about films. Physically, he was like a young boy at times, a child. He was just so eager to get the job done that he'd physically shake his hands and get so impatient. It could be off-putting to people, but I found him very challenging. You're on your mettle with him as an actor; you want to work hard for him. As long as you don't mind line readings...
Beaks: (Laughs) Really?
Brosnan: Yes. He's an actor, so he loves to give you line readings.
Beaks: Would you take his line readings?
Brosnan: At the beginning he gave me line readings. Then he left me alone. I mean, the first day's work was the scene on the Gulfstream. That's a six-and-a-half-page scene. It wasn't meant to be the first scene; the first week was supposed to be little bits and pieces. But I left L.A. on a Friday, got into Berlin, started work that Monday, and he asked if I was ready to do this scene. Luckily, I knew my lines, so I said, "Let's do it." We rehearsed at seven o'clock in the morning; Ewan knew his lines, I knew my lines, so we got on the Gulfstream. We were seated, and it looked like it was going to be on me first. I think, "Okay, the camera will probably be up there. We're going to do a master [shot] this way. Then we'll come down tighter and tighter." Well, Roman proceeded to talk about the luggage, and sort out the props - the laptops, the guys' guns and so on. The morning went on, we rehearsed all of that, and then at about five minutes until one, he came up to me and said, "Alright, Pierce. After lunch, 27 lens!" And I was like, "Fuck me, you've got to be kidding! I was ready to go at seven o'clock in the morning! Now I've got to wait through lunch?" So I went back to my trailer, worried some more, came out, and... I wasn't sure if he was messing with me. Everything was in order, really; he could've done [that shot] straight away. I think he just had his way of letting the morning go.
Beaks: Perhaps he wanted you back on your heels. At that point in the movie, your character is backed into a corner and then lashes out.
Brosnan: Yeah, he might've wanted that. I mean, I knew what he was doing. He was messing. But at that time, I just threw it away, and I had a good day. That was my first day: straight into the movie on a 27 lens. (Laughs)
Beaks: You mentioned that you didn't use Tony Blair as a reference for your character. That's apparent in the film. But it does seem like the character - particularly in how he's written and presented - is perhaps a Tony Blair/George W. Bush hybrid. You demeanor is very often petulant, and that's something we often saw out of Bush.
Brosnan: I didn't go towards George W. Bush. I just looked at Blair and Cameron, watched various films and interviews of them - never to replicate who they were or what they were, but just to see who they were in tone of voice and posture. And Lang is rather childlike. He's definitely petulant. He's used to getting his own way. And when he doesn't get his own way, he loses it.
Beaks: I'll use my last question to ask about the status of the THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR sequel. The first film has endured; it's really a terrific little movie. Is the sequel moving forward? Is it still called THE TOPKAPI AFFAIR?
Brosnan: It won't be called THE TOPKAPI AFFAIR. At the moment it's just THOMAS CROWN. Or THOMAS CROWN 2. TC2. That's what's on the scripts - and there have been a few. (Laughs) We'll do it. We must do it. It wasn't my idea to do it, but I'm going to do it. No names mentioned of who wanted us to do it, but studio heads have such bright ideas. Yes, the character has endured; it seems to have created its own life. So to see this man ten years down the line still doing what he does - living the life, doing a bit of thievery, and a love affair with some beautiful woman - why not? We're making our best effort to do it. It's not easy, but our best effort. Dear old MGM is... dear old MGM, you know? (Laughs) It's just trying to sort itself out again.
Roman Polanski's THE GHOST WRITER opens in limited release this Friday, February 19th, and I highly recommend checking it out (in fact, it would make a great "Living Legend" double feature with Martin Scorsese's SHUTTER ISLAND). I'll be back tomorrow with my full review of THE GHOST WRITER, and, next week, an interview with novelist Robert Harris.

-
i have more than just respect for the man...i am in awe<p> while most people would just give up...he carries on, and still writes...and writes well<p> the fuckers over at big hollywood are demanding that he retract some comments he made about palin and the teabaggers...what fuckers they are<P> i just sometimes dont understand how the world works...a man who has brought so much joy to so many has to end up like this
-
Thanks for mentioning it and asking about the sequel. Also agree that The Matador was unjustly ignored by far too many people. Pierce is a great actor who I wish worked more often. This interview makes me want to see the movie more than I did before, but I have no problem admitting I don't love Polanski. That being the case I'll have to wait until at least NetFlix, and maybe cable.
-
ive hijacked the thread
-
Fair enough. The article is an interesting read, if not a bit long and dramatic. I grew up with a guy across the street who had no lower jaw from chewing tobacco for 30 years, so I already knew that look. To be honest, Ebert looks better than I expected in that pic. Unfortunately it doesn't sound like he's long for this Earth anymore.
-
Like most of you, I have the utmost respect for the man, and find it a shame that his physical presence has been degraded to such an extent. At the very least, I hope he is able to depart this world on his own terms... Shame, shame, shame...
-
Why didn't you ask Brosnan about what he thinks about the parallels between his character in the film and the real-life situation of Polanski, sex offense, legal squeeze, extradition/jurisdiction etc.? It's a significant subtext in the new film. But I guess a lot of "journalists" miss out on asking these questions at the moment.
-
If you like polanski you support child rape. Because this film never should have been made because he should have been in prison for child rape. So if you support this film raping and drugging and getting 13 year old chicks is ok by your standards and beaks can go fuck himself.
-
But The Thomas Crown Affair is by far my favorite Pierce Brosnan film. If the sequel is as good as the original, I would love for them to make a full fledged series out of it!
-
...it was Russo, Leary, and McTiernan who really made that film happen for me. Brosnan was terrific as Crown but those other folks will be missed...
-
It's definitely the best possible lead-in to the interview. And I like how you obviously actually research your questions in advance, as opposed to most interviewers and their, "So...what do you think of movies?"<p> Polanski is a GOTTdamned master of the hemmed-in, nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide psychological horror. His pacing is just perfect. It's amazing he's never done the Sydney Pollack thing before.
-
Cuz I'm about to go to bed....maybe I'll take a look tomorrow...but for some reason I have an image in my head of Ebert as Seth Brundlefly right after his jaw gets ripped off...is that about right?
-
I'm with you on this one. I would be ashamed to work with Roman Polanski. I don't know why people do it.
-
Sorry, but that's rather asinine logic - does that mean all the cast and crew of his previous films support child rape? I'm sure most of them would be shocked and angered at the suggestion. You should be able to distinguish between a man's work and his actions. I can respect someone as an artist while condemning their major personal flaws. The sad truth is, if you boycotted any film where a member of the cast or crew had been involved in unsavoury illicit activities, you'd never be able watch another movie in your life.
-
For someone who wrote the Beyond/Beneath the Valley of the Dolls movies, he sure likes to be a preachy windbag at times, calling things like Betty Blue disgusting widescreen porn.<p> And look at these clips where his self-righteousness clouded his opinion on such movies as Blue Velvet (http://tinyurl.com/ybndboz), Fear and Loathing (http://tinyurl.com/ykkxawz) and Raising Arizona (http://tinyurl.com/y8maoqa). Why this pink schlub is thought of as an authority on movies is beyond me.<p> I'm guess people must view him as an uncle figure or something. But his writing has always been stilted and preachy. You compare his writing to someone like Lester Bangs and there's just no competition. Fil criticism will never have someone as talented and brave as Lester Bangs.
-
While I can perfectly understand slamming Polanski, the majority of the people doing it are just mean as rattlesnakes and twice as poisonous. They're taking out the fact that their lives have amounted to total inconsequence on this fallen celebrity who it's PC to hate. Notice how the fervour's redoubled since Polanski started making headlines again? A Polanski article a couple of years ago may have provoked a few snears, but nothing as bad as recently. And hell...if making snarky remarks makes these guys feel better about their piddling existences, let them get on with it. If you read them in the voice of Billy Bob Thornton's character in Sling Blade they're way funnier.

"Physically, he was like a young boy at times, a child."
by RomanPolanski
See? So it wasn't pedophilia or "child rape." More like... playing "Doctor" with real drugs and an anal probe. Thanks, Pierce!!! :D
-
Or is it a reboot?
-
Its not asnine it makes sense. Everyone knows who he is and what he has done and if you choose to work with him you are supporting child rape after the fact. There are tons of diff projects people can work on.
-
This is hilarious. An animated short film about David Lynch meeting George Lucas. Why doesn't Harry post this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLAyo1wE4Vo
-
I did you a solid and looked up all the biggest actors that have worked with Polanski. So now when you decide what movies to watch just know that if you watch anything with Ewan McGregor,Kim Cattrall,Pierce Brosnan,Adrien Brody,Johnny Depp,Hugh Grant,Sigourney Weaver,Ben Kingsley,Harrison Ford,Walter Matthau, or Jack Nicholson you might as well drug a 13 year old girl and rape her in the ass yourself. No no, don't thank me, I'm here to help.

DOGSOUP, I have no problem avoiding those actors...
by TheGhostWhoLurks
Seriously. Didn't waste a dime seeing Sigourney in the massively over-hyped AVATAR, Matthau's DEAD, Harrison won't make another decent film in his lifetime and the rest I can easily avoid supporting in the theatres with my money and patronage. It doesn't take a Ph.D to understand that actors who agree to work Polanski ARE, in fact, supporting, if not his actual raping of a child, his running from the law to avoid paying the consequences of his crimes. And I lose a LOT of respect for anyone who not only would work with such a man, but sing his praises as well.<p>It's a sad fact, but many good actors in Hollywood have absolutely NO moral compass and are happy and proud to support even CHILD RAPISTS ON THE LAM, because they have little fear of a public backlash against them. I'm more than happy to do my part to prove them wrong by NOT going to see these jackasses' films.

Isn't Ewan McGreggor the kryptonite of cinema?
by ISleptWithKathyBatesAndAllThatIGotWasThisStupidTalkbackName
I like the guy. He's always a pleasure to watch on screen (although he needs to work on his American accent) but i'm not sure how he still manages to get parts when it was recently revealed he's one of the least bankable stars in the business. His last hit was.... um.... Star Wars?
-
and mark my words, Daniel Craigs bond will go the same campy direction. then they'll start again. actually daniel Craig reminds me of daltons bond. especially that last film
-
I totally aggree Brosnan was AWSOM in Goldeneye its a shame his films were bad due to the writers, only reason ROYAL was any good was it was based on original Flemming sorce material. Craig may be emulation Daltons Bond but Daltons Bond was Better and his films were FANTASTIC, If Brosnan had got the role way back in In the Living Daylights like he was supposed to he would of at least had 3 AWSOME Bond adventures 2 average ones and one SHIT turd (Die Another Day)
-
Wagner was a rabid Anti-Semite. If I listen to, or like his music, am I supporting his beliefs. I like most of Polanski's films? He's an obvious genius, but I can't watch anything he's made without thinking about what he did. I love the films but the man disgusts me. Same goes for Wagner. I guess it's a whole different can of worms if you're asked to work for the guy. Personally, I don't think I could put aside my disgust long enough to do it. It's a slippery slope. One of those damned if you do, damned if you don't situations.
-
Who DO you support?
-
damn :(
-
Star Wars, Moulin Rouge... then he agreed to do a Michael Bay movie.
-
That's how I'd sum up his tenure as Bond. He was the best Bond since Connery in some of the worst Bond movies ever made. If he were in Casino Royale fifteen years younger, that would have been the perfect Bond film.
-
We're talking old Bonds, child-molesting directors, Ebert's problems, and up in the top right corner there's an ad for a statue of some kind with Princess Leia auto-erotic-asphyxiating Jaba the Hutt. We're all just floating...

SORRY, DIDN'T SEE THE EARLIER MENTION OF EBERT, MY BAD.....
by TehCreepyThinMan
-
I like Ewan McGregor, but I do remember being in college and seeing a newspaper ad for "Brassed Off" that declared him "the hottest Scottish Import Since Sean Connery!" Hmm.
-
...he was just saddled with some awful films. I am fairly alone in my hate for Goldeneye. I think Tomorrow Never Dies is his most solid film (save for getting overlong on the action from Vietnam on). The World Is Not Enough is great until it is utterly undone by Denise Richards (and making the poor mistake of killing the great Robbie Coltraine!) And Die Another Day started great, and then went completely off the rails into batshit land from Iceland on. Only TND and (I grudgingly admit) Goldeneye have really aged well. The other two, especially DAD, are almost unwatchable.
-
Great actor, great Bond, and he seems like a class act.
-
...hey I love Octopussy, The Man with the Golden Gun, Live and Let Die, Diamonds are Forever, and A View to a Kill, as much as the next Bond fan but every Brosnan movie is better than those.
-
With the possible exception of Spy Who Loved Me, all Moore's films were cheeseball goofs. They don't even justify comparison with Connnery, Dalton, Brosnan and Craig's films. They were almost spoof Bond films as far as I'm concerned.
-
Is it just me, or have I already read that part where Brosnan talks about sitting on the dolly and looking down in the "bag of tricks" and seeing the old viewfinder, etc.? When reading over that part of the interview, I was sure I'd already read it. Anyone?? Oh, and Brosnan in Casino Royale would have ruled.
-
Wow, morally challenged much?
-
There was a time i couldn't stand him, for me he was a barely talented pretty boy, with the only exception being his very good turn as a deadly soviet spy in THE FOURTH PROTOCOL. Then he was hired as Bond and even though i stil disliekd him, i though "that's good casting, it might work." And it worked brillantly. And he was at his best, better then ever had seen him before. I imediatly like dhim as an actor. and then he made more movie,s and he got better and better. And with THE TAYLOR OF PANAMA, he proved to be a brillant comedian. Nowdays, he's one of my fave actors. And this guy, he really won the genetic lotery. I wish at his age i would look 1/10th as good as he does.
-
C'mon: Roger Moore's Live and Let Die was good and it has one of the best Bond themes! The Spy Who Loved Me is great fun, and For Your Eyes Only was okay.
-
I love to see this pretty boys like Brad Pitt, Brosnan and George Clooney sending off their pretty boy image and go wild and clownish for the sake of laughs in a comedy. Great way to show they have a sense of humour about themselves and don't always let ego gets in the way of a good movie.
-
I'm affraid the answer has to be Roger Moore. He ddi the worst bond movies to date. But Connery also did some pretty less then satisfying bond movies too (THUNDERBOLT and DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER). Poor Timothy Dalton, possibly the best actor ever to play Bond, did that stunk piece of shit LICENSE TO KILL. Compared to those, even Brosnan's DIE ANOTHER DAY isn't all that bad.... mostly.<br><br>Ironically, the only Bond actor that gets a perfect run is George lazemby. He only mad eone bond movie, but he made A GREAT BOND MOVIE, one of the top best. Maybe Lazemby was unto something, maybe he knew he couldn't top it.
-
The Spy Who Loved Me and For Your Eyes Only are the only Bond movies Roger Moore made which i call good. The rest are pieces of shit.
-
A friend told me it's a seriously underrated damn good movie. And it's Brosnan vs Liam Neeson. Only a fool wouldn't consider that interesting by the cast alone.
-
License To Kill. Undercover-dude-becomes-liked-by-the-bad-guy-he's-going-to-thwart movies are always fun to watch.
-
I agree: OHMSS is a great Bond film.
-
who doesn't hate Bush and love Pedanski. Me, I hate both @$$holes.
-
Good to see him still kicking, working and watching flicks.
-
Is cool. "The Matador" is fantastic. I'm glad he didn't take your Bush-Bait, Beaks.
-
You know it. I know it.
-
Best Bond film, seriously? George Lazenby came across all awkward, and don't get me started on his British accent. Almost as bad as Sam Worthington's American accent in Avatar. And the ending...kudos for originality but it left me cold for a ond flick.
-
At least they had what makes a Bond movie distinct from all the other action movies, the last two were like Lifetime Channel movies like the last two were. Plus the part when the invisible car comes along in Die Another Day and it just looks like a platform on rails thinking that is his car and says "Q i think you've been in here too long" was priceless.
-
Were good while Dalton's largely stunk. I wouldn't of minded to see a 58 year old Roger Moore continue ot do Dalton's movies, it would have been more entertaining even as a grandpa Bond.

Where did THAT movie come from? Looks great....added to queue. Liam Neeson raises the level of quality in EVERY project he is in. LINCOLN sounds like a dream project with Neeson as the lead.
-
Your opinion doesn't count today, because it's fucking ThunderBALL. Dissing anything Connery or Bond is like dissing yourself. Yes, I'm a super Bond geek who owned the Bond Encyclopedia when he was a kid and first smoked meth with a Dr. No zippo, what of it?<p> Brosnan as Bond sucked. Dalton was okay, but the movies were weak. Moore was great, even though he looked like a grandpa at times. Lazenby was cool. Connery was Christ. Craig is Christ 2 (but the last one kind of blew, and they could have cut 20 minutes out of Casino Royale).
-
imho almost all of the Bond movies are crap,but if you look them in the context of the time periods that they were made,you will find out that they were perfectly representing all the specific pop cultural trademarks of every era,from the clothes,the cars,the image of the heroic Bond character,the villains,the threats,the babes,the scenery,etc <p>ie Moore's Bond was the mirror image of the hero prototype of the 70s,found in series like the Persuaders and all that crap UK tv shows of that era.he had his lotus car,his bell-trousers,his dandy style,etc.he is ridiculous as a bond,but he was defined by his era,and was suitable for the tastes of the audiences of that era.
-
for Bond are either Thunderball, Live and Let Die, A View to A Kill, From Russia with Love, or of course...The motherfucking Goldddfinggaaaaaa
-
no mr Bond,i expect you to die. <p>priceless.

-
About fucking time!
-
So sue me!
-
Moore's are not my favorites, but I'll still watch any of them, pretty much any time. I agree with anybody who says GoldenEye was great, though... because it was! And regarding Brosnan, let's not forget Lawnmower Man and Ms. Doubtfire. Heh. Nah, I kid. The guy has been in a ton of great movies both as a lead or in small character parts.
