The Nee brothers praise the great clown, Sandra Bullock, in new film LostCityMovie.
In 2006, Adam and Aaron Nee caught the eyes of indie tastemakers when their debut feature, microbudget comedy, played in the original Alamo Drafthouse on Colorado as part of South by Southwest. Looking back, Adam said,"That was our first movie, our first premiere, our first everything. I remember how welcomed we felt to Austin, to the festival to the community. There was a line around the block to see our $20,000 indie movie, and it was a formative experience.
Their star-studded studio picture, which arrives in cinemas this weekend, may seem a long way from what Aaron described as two kids from small town Florida maxing out their credit cards to get their movie made, butis a different kind of daring.
So how did they get the movie made? Two words, one name."Sandra Bullock," said Adam."Sandy is someone we've all been wanting to see in a movie like this for a long time ... so to be able be part of this as a filmmaker is something I'm exceptionally grateful for." It turns out that it wasn't just the Nees and audiences that wanted to see Bullock go back to the slapstick antics of."Sandy wants to look foolish as much as possible," said Adam."She's like a classic clown. She's the beautiful sex symbol who relishes being funny.
"Channing's the same way," added Aaron."You could look at him and go, 'He's beautiful, he's an athlete, this guy should be an action star, he should be the one taking himself seriously,' and he's all about, 'Make me look like a fool. Throw me in these situations.' That's the secret sauce that turns them into real people. They let you laugh at them, and you love them for it.
