Then, The Wedding Banquet director Andrew Ahn and his co-writer James Schamus talk about their unusual collaboration, working together to remake a film Schamus co-wrote in 1993 with Ang Lee, and update it for a modern audience while maintaining the original's scrappy indie film spirit.

This week, Jeanette and Mero come together to talk about the 1997 American Drama Film, The Ice Storm. Directed by Ang Lee, written by James Schamus, and based on a book of the same name by Rick Moody. The films focuses on two dysfunctional New Canaan, Connecticut, upperclass families who try to deal with tumultuous social changes of the early 1970s, and their escapism through alcohol, adultery, and sexual experimentation. From upperclass problems to a Nixon mask, this drama is packed with awkward conversations and mixed signals for all to cringe and adore.

Producers James Schamus and Ted Hope recount the making of the movie that almost wasn't....until Ang Lee had the brilliant vision to bring this impossible-to-adapt book to the screen. The film went from "unmakeable" to competing for the Palme d'Or at Cannes where multi-hyphenate James Schamus won Best Screenplay. Ang Lee has an intimate understand of acting, so worked organically with the cast to allow them room to play with the script and create the film's unique feeling of fantasy meets reality in which everything happens on an ambitious precipice.

Brokeback Mountain is a 2005 American neo-Western romantic drama film directed by Ang Lee and produced by Diana Ossana and James Schamus. Adapted from the 1997 short story of the same name by Annie Proulx, the screenplay was written by Ossana and Larry McMurtry. The film stars Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway, and Michelle Williams and depicts the complex romantic relationship between two American cowboys, Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist, in the American West from 1963 to 1983. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brokeback_Mountain

Tajvan legismertebb rendezőjével folytatjuk az ázsiai filmes évadunkat, ő pedig nem más, mint Ang Lee. Az 1994-es Étel, ital, férfi, nő azaz Eat Drink Man Woman/Yin shi nan nu a kétszeres Oscar-díjas rendező harmadik nagyjátékfilmje, és az első, amelyet szülőhazájában forgatott. Az adáshoz vendéget hívtunk, Ang Lee személyes jó barátját, Varga Ferencet (Recorder blog, Filmklub podcast), aki a Csungking expressz után tért vissza a podcastba. Az adás elején áttekintjük Ang Lee karrierjét: kikkel járt egy filmes iskolába New Yorkban, és hogyhogy az első sikerét mégis Tajvanon érte el? Elveszünk a kosztümösfilm–szuperhősmozi–homoerotikus western szegélyezte hollywoodi labirintusban, amelybe Ang Lee az Étel, ital, férfi, nő után keveredett, hátha rálelünk a tematikus Ariadné fonalára, amely meghatározza a filmjeit. Mi ment félre Ang Lee stílusában a Pi élete sikere után? Mit áldozott fel a magas képkockasebesség oltárán a szerény, de nagyravágyó rendező? Milyen közös sztorikat tud mesélni ebből az időszakból Feri az Ang Leehez fűződő barátságáról? Beszélünk az Étel, ital, férfi, nő forgatókönyvírói merészségéről is: milyen fordulatokat húz elő a kalapból James Schamus és Ang Lee szkriptje? Mennyire működnek a karakterfejlődési hajtűkanyarok? Melyik nővér az igazi főszereplője a sokrétű családi drámának, és mitől különleges a film konfliktuskezelése?

After discussing what works and doesn’t in DEADPOOL 2, a film with a lot that works and a lot that doesn’t, we look at how these two studio sequels tap into similar but different veins of self-aware and reference-based humor, how they play with the restrictions and perks of studio filmmaking, and how to break the fourth wall without losing the audience.

Writer-director James Schamus talks about adapting Philip Roth's novel Indignation for the screen in his directorial debut.

Producer, writer, professor and former studio boss James Schamus tells Francine Stock why he took the plunge and directed his first film, Inidgnation, after three decades in the business. In an exclusive interview, award-winning writer/director Carol Morley reveals what her next project will be, even before a word is written or a scene is filmed.

Logan Lerman and director James Schamus chat with Cinema Royale about their new film, 'Indignation', an adaptation of the book by cherished author, Philip Roth.

Director James Schamus visits The Treatment to chat about his directorial debut in the adaptation of the Philip Roth novel Indignation.  

James Schamus was a successful producer of independent films with his company, Good Machine, and then as the CEO of art-house label Focus Features for 13 years. In 2013, he was fired and decided to try something new. Schamus tells us about calling the shots on his directorial debut, Indignation.

Hollister & O'Toole pay tribute to the late, great Garry Marshall, whose amazingly successful 56-year Hollywood career in both television (The Odd Couple, Happy Days, Mork & Mindy, Laverne & Shirley) and film (Overboard, Beaches, Pretty Woman, The Princess Diaries) helped catapult the careers of such A-list actors (and future directors) as Ron Howard, Robin Williams, Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, and, of course, his sister Penny. ​ As Bruce Weber at the New York Times (and star of the documentary OBIT) put it, "Mork and the Fonz are weeping". ​ We also share our thoughts on the film Indignation - which we screened at the Provincetown International Film Festival - with writer/director James Schamus in attendance. ​ Schamus is best-known for his long-time collaboration with 3x-Oscar winner Ang Lee - as both writer (Eat Drink Man Woman; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and producer (Brokeback Mountain, Sense and Sensibility). Based on Philip Roth's 29th novel (of the same name), Indignation marks Schamus' feature film directorial debut. Starring Logan Lerman (The Perks of Being a Wallflower), Pulitzer- and Tony-winner Tracy Letts (The Big Short), and Sarah Gadon (A Royal Night Out).

How does one reconcile the ideas of artistry in cinema, the kind of magic of cinephilia that we see each time we look up at the screen, with the business practices that often painted as limiting it? James Schamus has somehow made a career of toeing this (likely constructed) dichotomy, helping produce some of the early independent films of the 1990s before becoming the co-founder of Focus Features, which made films like The Pianist, Atonement, Brokeback Mountain, and Moonrise Kingdom, as well as a collaborator of Ang Lee, writing the screenplays for The Ice Storm, Ride With The Devil, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. James discusses this work between the politics of making art for specialty audiences, as well as his interest in the very nature of art through his work as a theorist and professor at Columbia University. They then turn to his directorial debut, an adaptation of Philip Roth's Indignation, and what it means to modulate performance. Finally, the two discuss Budd Boetticher's 1957 hostage western The Tall T, and what a specialty art house producer can learn from watching Randolph Scott contemplate existence in this low budget western. 0:00-3:57 Opening 5:08-17:11 Establishing Shots — 4 Years of The Cinephiliacs 17:56-1:06:20 Deep Focus — James Schamus 1:07:21-1:11:32 Sponsorship Section 1:12:33-1:22:44 Double Exposure — The Tall T (Budd Boetticher) 1:22:50-1:27:00 Close // Outtake

Cary Fukunaga, the director of such edgy films as Jane Eyre and Sin Nombre, not to mention the often discomforting first season of True Detective, still has a fear of clowns. Fukunaga is now remaking Stephen King's It, and he told a crowd at the Tribeca Film Festival that in his mind, he still sees the same haunting image of Pennywise the clown that he saw as a kid.  Hear Fukunaga's full conversation with veteran independent film producer James Schamus.

Song’s work specializes in modern Chinese literature, film studies, and youth culture. Lee has won the Academy Award for Best Direction for Brokeback Mountain (2005) and Life of Pi (2012) and the Award for Best Foreign Language Film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) in addition to numerous prestigious prizes from European and Asian film festivals. Schamus is an Academy Award-nominated screenwriter, producer, and film executive, and a widely published film historian and theorist. His long collaboration as writer and producer for Ang Lee has resulted in 11 films, including Brokeback Mountain; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; The Ice Storm; The Wedding Banquet; The Hulk; Taking Woodstock and Lust, Caution. As moderator, Song asked questions of the pair exploring their collaboration and career together as well as film themes before turning the questions over to the audience. One theme that Song is excited to explore starts with the question, “Who is the tiger?” referencing the representation of the tiger in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Life of Pi.
