James Cromwell recalls how he fought for his role in Chris Noonan's film, which earned seven Oscar noms and spawned a sequel.
, released a quarter-century ago, is the story of an underestimated little thing that went on to stupendous achievements., about an orphaned piglet who demonstrates a knack for herding sheep. In 1986, director George Miller was on a flight from Sydney to London when a woman next to him laughed as she read the book.
Uh, no. I actually don’t think about the years. I try to stay in the moment — in the perpetual now because there’s a lot going on.I wouldn’t say my career was so storied. It’s a story to me. It was a little blip at the bottom of some other important columns. I had worked 10 years in the theater and I had done a number of pictures — really just [1976's] — but mostly television.
was not [to George] was this benign, bucolic story of a pig that has a destiny and a sense of direction and the willingness to be the thing that he wanted to be. The line, the first line of the movie, "This is the story of an unprejudiced heart." OK, so unprejudiced hearts are either really sweet characters that through the dint of their sense of wonder and pureness and honesty manage to survive.
Do you like having a catchphrase? Or does it get tiresome having fans ask you to say, "That'll do, pig, that'll do."
