The Return of Jezebel James

Entertainment Weekly posted an interview with Parker Posey:

“Hollywood doesn’t really know what to do with me. I don’t play the game. I can’t,” says Parker Posey, sitting in the window of a trendy boutique in New York City’s East Village…

In the interview, she talks about The Return of Jezebel James, as I expect we’ll see a lot more of. Parker says:

The writing is so good that it kind of felt like a ’70s sitcom or All in the Family. It’s got a very Norman Lear feel. It’s not selling jokes. And [shooting the pilot] felt like a one-act play. It was in front of an audience, so there’s that momentum. When I got this pilot I was in New Mexico shooting [October’s] The Eye and I really liked it. I read it at the laundromat in one sitting. It just flew off the page. Amy is a force, a talent…

[I love] the idea that I can live and work in New York City and have stability. I did Boston Legal too, and I thought there was something so civilized about working with a crew that you saw every day.
