VIDEO: Jason Winer Talks To Bleeding Cool About Arthur

Yet another whistlestop junket interview, this time catching ahold of Arthur‘s director Jason Winer for a few short minutes. This is his feature debut, after some years of work in TV, including the lauded Modern Family.

You’ll pretty quickly realise that he’s also an actor. He has that certain ease and bounciness.

I did ask that last question twice, in two slightly different ways, to try and get at the “Why” a little bit more. It doesn’t exactly make me Jeremy Paxman, but I was driving for something that genuinely interested me. I think fifteen more minutes with Mr. Winer and he’d have gotten on to the really, really good stuff.

Arthur is out today in the UK, has been out in the US for a fortnight. I keep telling you that I prefer it to the original, so I’m sure I won’t need to tell you again.
