简介：Speaking to podcaster Andrew Klavan, Mamet blasted “brain-dead” Hollywood executives that he has met and noted that he does not work in the studio system anymore, “because, ‘A’ they don’t want me, and ‘B,’ I don’t want them.” However, he did confirm that the producers of “Sound of Freedom” came to him with an idea.
These guys who did the Sound of Freedom, they came to me and they said, ‘You want to write a a movie for us?’ I said, ‘Yeah sure, what do you got?’ They said they wanted to do a movie about Hunter Biden. I’m not going to call him Hunter Biden and it’s not going to be a travelogue.
Mamet, who is currently writing the screenplay, noted that the hardest part about doing the biopic is that it can easily become a film about all the places the famous subject went to, perfunctorily cataloging all of their most famous acts instead of developing a coherent theme, adding “So, the question is, if it’s not interesting, it doesn’t matter if it’s Hunter Biden. And if it is interesting, it doesn’t matter if it’s Hunter Biden. People don’t care, right?”
