The Brothers Bloom Rian Johnson Interview

Eric Melin interviews writer/director Rian Johnson ("Brick") about his newest con man comedy The Brothers Bloom, starring Adrien Brody, Mark Ruffalo, and Rachel Weisz. This is an in-depth look at some of the secrets behind "The Brothers Bloom," and since Johnson's commentary was so interesting and thought-provoking, we decided to present the whole interview, which clocks in at over 10 minutes. If you are a true film fan, this is fascinating stuff. Eric and Rian discuss the challenge inherent in con artist movies, why storytelling is important to our lives, the challenge of a lack of dialogue, The Brothers Bloom's heightened stylistioc reality, and Johnson's new project, a sci-fi movie called "Looper." Check out this Rian Johnson interview about The Brothers Bloom.
