Video: Wes Anderson interviews Robert Evans

Yes, this actually happened in 2002. You can watch it here.

So… Wes Anderson is this guy. Screenwriter. Director. Bottle Rocket. Rushmore. Moonrise Kingdom. The Grand Budapest Hotel.

And… Robert Evans was this guy. Movie producer. Head of production Paramount Pictures. Chinatown. Marathon Man. Urban Cowboy. Subject of a documentary based on his book The Kid Stays in the Picture.

Well… in 2002, there was a harmonic convergence which brought together these two disparate figures — Anderson and Evans — for a 46-minute conversation with Anderson as a guest host (!?!) of The Charlie Rose Show.

The audiobook version of The Kid Stays in the Picture is voiced by none other than Evans himself. A great listen.
