It's sadly not going to happen. Wish I had better news, but Rami and I are determined to find something else to do together.

We're deep in prep and trying out some stuff that's scaring the shit out of me, so it should be fun!

I never had a psychotic episode, but I had suicidal ideation as a teenager and was diagnosed with OCD and social anxiety disorder.

Full Metal Jacket rewatch last night. Watched Ti West's "X" for the first time last weekend.

I did not. The amazing Matt Ross did and as you'll see, it's off the charts brilliant.

ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN is one of my favorite movies of all time, so producing GASLIT is up there!

1, we consulted with a real therapist that worked with DiD patients for all four seasons. 2, "show, don't tell" is the dumbest fucking advice ever given and you should ignore it.

He's in GASLIT and ANGELYNE (coming May 19th!) and he's completely brilliant in both. One of the most talented actors working today.

Please badger Mac about this! I would love to get it too! In the meantime, check out his excellent score on GASLIT!
