Carthew Neal, producer of JojoRabbit, discusses the triumph of the little Holocaust comedy that could
The Day the Clown Criedhas defied all odds to become one of the year's most beloved films — an unlikely comedic tale about a 10-year-old fledgling Nazi and his imaginary best friend, Adolf Hitler.
Fox Searchlight's first release as a division of The Walt Disney Company, it manages to bridge the divide perfectly between the studios: a sharp indie wrapped inside a tale of timeless innocence. And the results — six Academy Award nominations, including best picture, best adapted screenplay and best supporting actress for Scarlett Johansson — speak for themselves.producer Carthew Neal to discuss the triumph of the little Holocaust comedy that could.It is my first. It's pretty crazy.
It's incredible. Everyone who came on board — the cast and all the crew and Searchlight — came because of Taika's script. It was on the Black List for quite a few years. It was a much-loved script, but no one was sure Taika could pull it off. I've never been involved in a production where there was that much excitement prior to starting. That script was so loved and people were so excited about it, and it was daunting to attempt to create a movie that was even better than the script.
Have you spoken with the boys at the heart of the film, Roman Griffin Davis and Archie Yates , since the nominations were announced? Roman's back at school in London. He's really excited. I mean, this whole thing has been crazy for him and Archie. Archie is up in Montreal, already working on his next film. I think for them, what's been important is they've both showed the film to their school friends. Roman said that they left the screening and one of his friends came up to him and said, "That is such a great movie. It was about a kid learning to think for himself.
