… T minus 6 days, and counting…

The Return of Jezebel James premiers Friday, March 14.

There’s an excellent interview with Parker Posey in the Sioux City Journal Online.

I loved this part:

Posey sees the series as another “girl-centric” show that’s not about celebrity. “The writing comes from a really good place. I loved watching ’The Gilmore Girls.’ I thought it was amazing. (In one episode) they were watching Joseph Campbell DVDs during spring break. That was so me. It made me love Amy so much more.”

Loved that, because I’m a died-in-the-wool Gilmore Girls fan. I remember that GG episode. It’s from season 4, and it’s called, “Girls in Bikinis, Boys Doin’ the Twist.” Rory and Paris, in Ft. Lauderdale for spring break, spent a night watching Bill Moyers in Joseph Campbell and The Power of Myth on VHS. (I don’t know why they were watching it on VHS, but they clearly were.) A classic must-see for storytellers in any media, by the way.

Sigh. I am so looking forward to watching Amy’s work again on my TV screen!

Lifetime TV has on their website an interview with “Parker Posey: The Unpredictable Indie Queen”:

This fall, the actress will have her first starring role in a TV series… in which she plays a children’s book editor who asks her sister to be a surrogate mother for her.

Posey also stars in the movie “Broken English,” in which she plays an unhappily single New Yorker who falls for a younger Frenchman. The 38-year-old actress knows what it’s like to date a younger man, because for two years she was in a relationship with musician Ryan Adams, who is six years younger than Posey. (The couple broke up in 2005.)

The actress chatted candidly with us about her new movie and much more.

Courtesy IndieWIRE, here’s a very informal 5-minute interview with Parker Posey and filmmaker Zoe Cassavetes about their film Broken English, which is coming to (some) theaters Friday, June 22. In the interview, they talk about things like: Click to continue »

A new article in the Los Angeles Times starts by talking to Parker Posey about how unpretentious she is on the set. Parker helps out, getting things done that you’d think would be below her, like getting coffee for the director, or hunting down actors and actresses to fill in for needed parts.

I like getting involved. ’I’ll take care of it.’ It comes from independent film, I got used to it — there’s tape on the floor, pick it up. It’s just an awareness you have, like peripheral vision when you’re rollerblading in traffic. It comes from being on a lot of sets.

The interview goes into Broken English and some of her other films, and how Hollywood is different from doing independent films. And it also mentions The Return of Jezebel James: Click to continue »
