A Great Interview with the Screenwriter of “Arrival”
Arrival, directed by Denis Villeneuve, is one of my favorite films. It is both serious and simple, profound and understated. It is based on a short story by Ted Chiang called “The Story of your Life.”
Here’s Brian Koppelman’s excellent and informative interview with Eric. I was totally impressed by the level of passion, commitment, and courage screenwriter Eric Heisserer put into this project. This is totally worth listening to if you have an hour and you need a break from passionately working on your secret, favorite project.
