YES! Roadies has been picked up by Showtime. Stay tuned for 10 stories about life, music, love and all points in between.
Here’s a look…
Here’s a recap of yesterday’s Twitter chat that Cameron did with IMDB. I’ve reformatted it to make it easier to read (one paragraph answers, no hashtags, etc.).
For some reason romantic comedies seem to be a lost genre. What makes Aloha unique?
Only a matter of time until some reinvents the genre and makes it fresh again. It always begins with the characters, and the twists that make it real and unique. A great romantic comedy always has aches, along with the laughs. “Silver Linings Playbook” was a great romantic comedy. The new movie “The Overnight” is excellent, as was “Skeleton Twins.” “Aloha” has a lot of elements, one being romantic comedy in the style of the movie “Ninotchka,” that was a favorite of Emma Stone’s too.
How did you choose the cast?
Everything began with the great Emma Stone then we built from there. Emma was the catalyst. Bradley next. Then Rachel became available. Krasinski, McBride, Bill Murray. One by one, a dream cast developed. Always such a thrill to have Alec Baldwin with us too. We had a great time on “Elizabethtown.”
Aloha looks like a collision of the past & the future for Bradley’s character. Is that accurate?
As first confirmed by Deadline Hollywood, Cameron will be writing, directing and producing his first television show for Showtime entitled Roadies in partnership with JJ Abrams’ Bad Robot and executive producer Winnie Holzman. Cameron will direct the pilot episode sometime this Fall, so stay tuned for more information. Until then, you can check out quotes from Cameron and J.J. Abrams from the Deadline story below:
“Crowe revealed that he and Abrams had been talking about the Roadies idea for some time. “We’re fans of crews, those workers up on the rigging towers, or walking feverishly with eight phones on their belt. Those quietly devoted people live huge lives, they’re often the real keepers of the flame,” he said.
…”Added Abrams, “We had been talking about the series for so long, but when he actually handed me the script, it was funnier and sweeter and wilder than I had ever imagined. Roadies is Cameron Crowe at his most musically passionate, colorful character best.”
