What's great about shooting a documentary is having the chance to work on it and then leave it for a while and then again coming back to the project. "This documentary holds two of my passions: jazz and cinema. It's a project that was more than a decade in the making. He was putting the finishing touches on another project he was in the director's chair for, a documentary on the Cuban musician Francisco Fellove. When The Hollywood Reporter caught up with him at the 2016 Alice in the City sidebar to the Rome Film Fest, they talked to him not only about what was going on at the festival (he was on the panel judging some of the festival's film entries), but also about what else he was up to. When Dillon told The Telegraph he was more than happy to spend a decade working on his crime drama to get it just right, he didn't mention that's not the only project he's sunk a huge amount of time into. The ability to wait is rare, and he adds, "Longevity's what it's about." He's happy to sit on the project for as long as it takes to get it right, and that's admirable. He's leaning more toward television here, too, where he might have a dozen hours to tell a story instead of two. For more than a decade, he's been working on a script for a crime drama grounded in realism, and part of his hesitation in doing more with it isn't just getting everything exactly right, but distilling it into a length that's suitable for filming. On paper, it’s a movie that feels designed for straight bros, but in reality, it proved much more appealing to closet queers. Life's not a dress rehearsal."Īt the same time, he's also not afraid to spend years working on something to get it completely right. There resides Matt Dillons Sam Lombardo (great noir name and incidentally the star of another modern success in the genre, A Kiss Before Dying), a high school guidance counsellor who finds his. "I used to joke that every time I was hanging out in an East Village bar with my friends or traipsing across Italy, I lost a job. You’re not going to get deep into any discussion of John McNaughton’s Florida-noir mystery Wild Things without mentioning the champagne-soaked three-way scene with Matt Dillon’s Sam Lombardo, Denise Richards’ Kelly Van Ryan and Neve Campbell’s Suzie Toller in a seedy motel room in the Everglades but what makes the scene even more memorably s. He says he'd rather be out living his life than patrolling his career to make sure he gets every single opportunity, and if that means missing some phone calls and missing some roles, he's all right with that. Dillon's motivations for breaking into a career in entertainment might be seen as a little unconventional, and he told The Telegraph it was never, ever about the fame.
