"I went and met Scott and auditioned and that was err... that was actually one of the most relaxed auditions considering I hate audtions ... and particularly doing it with an accent and stuff... He made me come back 7 times - another 7 times...The Bastard!"

Matthew had to work hard to get his first role directed by Scott Frank. Wonder if Scott made Matthew audition for his new role in 'Department Q'!

Matthew Goode talking about his role in The Lookout. Interviewed by Warren Etheridge at a special screening 2007

Loved this interview that was syndicated to promote 'The Lookout' -

‘For Frank, “The Lookout” represents a transition from being one of Hollywood’s most celebrated screenwriters into a first time director who successfully has taken his razor sharp gift for onscreen gab in films such as “Out of Sight” and “Minority Report” and translated it into a taut, tightly paced thriller. And he couldn’t have found a better heavy than Goode, a British actor known for starring in lightweight romantic comedies such as “Imagine Me and You” and “Chasing Liberty.” But Goode turns in a performance where he subverts the charm that has led many to call him the next Hugh Grant and turns it towards making his character Gary into a Midwestern drifter whose lurid magnetism is stronger than his fists.  How did you cast the film? Many of your actors, specifically Matthew Goode, play against type. My casting director knew [Matthew Goode] and said he’s more like the guy in your movie than he is the guy in “Match Point.” And I went, “really?” And she said, “really.” I met him and he had a spectacular energy to him. He was all over the room. He had a real danger to him, yet he was also funny and charming, which were two really important things to me. [Syndicated interview]

This little insight from Dan Stevens about Scott Frank is funny - from Moviefone. - 

‘And he wanted someone a little unexpected to play this Brooklyn drug trafficker -- someone who, by their very casting, would tease the audience's expectations. He delights in seeing actors try things they'd never tried before. I really liked "The Lookout" and I loved what he was doing with Matthew Goode in that movie. I remember thinking, "What a cool role to take on," especially someone who had taken on a lot of similar roles to me back in England. I know Matthew a little bit and we delight in the sense that an American director would be like, "Play a weird bad-ass." That vote of confidence is so enormously empowering.’  

Matthew showing Scott Frank just how big his bad ass is.

This is something stupid that interests/annoys probably only me, but: people older than 38 calling themselves "middle-aged." The average American man dies at 77-- the middle is therefore 38, per the rules of simple division.

If you're older than 38, you are elderly. Oh, you are not a senior citizen, maybe. But there's no "middle" happening-- not unless you think you're going to live to the ripe age of 126 years young, as is apparently Hollywood screenwriter Scott Frank's plan. That is the math.

It's just a question of multiplying numbers by 2, and then looking at your diet-- based upon my diet and lifestyle, I was middle-aged at 17. I just love peanut butter...

Scott Frank, director of The Lookout, on why he cast Matthew Goode as Gary Spargo, seemingly against type. I love this quote, so telling about the mercurial actor that Matthew is. He will always surprise you.

I thought I would do a Lookout edit today (an under-rated gem of a film noir, I love it so much) to celebrate the fact Scott and Matthew are being reunited in Department Q. This makes for a great team!

Early-morning hater hours:

MARMALADE (2023): Fizzy Keir O'Donnell crime comedy-drama about a wide-eyed young hick (Joe Keery) telling his new jail cellmate (Aldis Hodge) about how his romance with a pink-haired wild child called Marmalade (Camila Morrone) became a crime spree. Familiar but very charming for its first 70 minutes, with a bright, poppy visual style and a vivid evocation of the feeling of falling for someone who pushes you out of your comfort zone in ways both good and bad, the film then loses the plot with a twist obviously inspired by the 1995 crime drama THE USUAL SUSPECTS, leading to a resolution that isn't nearly clever enough to make up for the loss of the story's original emotional core. A real disappointment after its enjoyable opening.

MONSIEUR SPADE (2024): Peculiar AMC/Canal+ co-production, set in 1963 and starring Clive Owen as Dashiell Hammett's Sam Spade, now a retired but still cagey man of leisure living on the country estate of his late French wife (Chiara Mastroianni) in the rural town of Bozouls and acting in loco parentis for Teresa, the now-teenage daughter of Brigid O'Shaughnessey (Cara Bossom). Spade is drawn into a complex web of murder and conspiracy involving a mysterious young Algerian boy many people will kill to find, and who is somehow tied up with Teresa's errant father, Philippe Saint-Andre (Jonathan Zaccaï). Elliptical and very French, the show's sun-dappled atmosphere is pleasant, but the oblique way the story takes shape demands closer attention than it ever rewards, and the actual plot is both convoluted and unconvincing; at one point Spade aptly calls it "hokum." Furthermore, while the show is most enjoyable where it focuses on the hard-boiled American detective's uneasy integration into drowsy French rural life, it ultimately struggles to justify placing Spade so far outside his original milieu. It seems like creators Scott Frank and Tom Fontana wanted to create something approximating the Conan Doyle stories of a retired Sherlock Holmes keeping bees on the Sussex Downs, but Spade is really too thinly drawn a character for that, although Owen is better than one might expect. I also don't buy that Spade's exploits (at least vis-à-vis THE MALTESE FALCON) would make him world-famous like Poirot or Holmes.

Nel 1880, Frank Griffin, capo di una banda criminale, dà la caccia all'ex protetto Roy Goode. L'inseguimento lo porta a La Belle, in New Mexico, una città abitata, dopo un disastro minerario, quasi interamente da donne.
