Updated whenever I hear new information about Whit Stillman and his projects.
The Reno Gazette-Journal has a very brief chat with Whit Stillman to ask him what he’s been up to.
Of the scripts he’s been working on recently he says:
“The first of them, a story set in Jamaica in the early 1960s, should go before too long. Thanks to the producer Ed Pressman, I’m also [...]
Further to yesterday’s post about three Charlie Rose DVDs available, in which he interviews Whit Stillman (among others), Eric Burritt has found one of these, from 2000, available to view on Google Video. Skip to 19:54 to find Stillman. They discuss his book The Last Days of Disco, With Cocktails and Petrossian Afterwards and how [...]
Reader Eric Burritt points out that there are three DVDs available on Amazon.com in each of which Charlie Rose interviews several people, including Whit Stillman (for those of us outside America, Rose is a US journalist and TV interviewer).
29 July 1994 in which he “talks about his new film Barcelona”. (This DVD is currently listed [...]
I don’t want to turn this from the Whit Stillman website into the “Actors Who Have Been In Whit Stillman Films website” but in the absence of other news… Rob Salarano emails to say that Taylor Nichols appeared in the pilot for the CBS TV series Jericho and speculates as to whether the character will [...]
DVD Times has a fairly lengthy review of The Last Days of Disco because of the recent release of the film on DVD in France.
The Last Days of Disco has been out of print on DVD in the US for quite a while now — commanding extremely high prices on eBay — [...]
An anonymous emailer points out that American Conservative magazine currently has an article on Whit Stillman, although it’s not available online (at least, not for free).
Stillman favourite Taylor Nichols is currently appearing in an ad campaign for AT&T. You can stream the TV ad (”Alan”) from this page, which didn’t play well for me, or download it from here. Both require Windows Media Player (Mac or PC). He also appears in the print campaign, with PDFs available at both those [...]
I’ve been meaning to expand my single page Whit Stillman site into something more substantial and it seemed wise to do it before any prospective new film gets underway. So here we are!
All the contents of the old page have been transferred here - the main, constant content can be accessed via the links on [...]
The Independent has an interview with Whit Stillman who has apparently just finished the script for his Jamaican film Creation. There’s no mention of Little Green Men, which Golconda Films’ website indicates will star John Malkovich and Peter Dinklage. (Both from Keith Cochran.)
Whit Stillman has a new film that’s currently being cast! According to this Variety article it’s an “adaptation of the Christopher Buckley novel Little Green Men … a Washington, D.C., insider comedy about a political talkshow host who’s plucked off a golf course by aliens after a particularly probing presidential interview concerning America’s space program.” [...]
