Tonally different and more daring than any biopic from recent memory, the comedy-slash-drama-slash-mockumentary I, Tonya takes huge risks and reaps rewards in its retelling of the sordid life and times of one of tabloid televison’s greatest living punchlines: disgraced former figure skater Tonya Harding.
Filmmaker Craig Gillespie and actor Sebastian Stan sit down to talk about “the incident” and working with actress and producer Margot Robbie on the equally comedic and dramatic biopic I, Tonya.

Interviewing actors and filmmakers can be a difficult job when you consider the odds that are stacked against you. Are they in a good mood? Have they done a lot of interviews today?

This has been a great day so far, and it’s going to be a good weekend by the looks of it too.
I just got back a while ago from the Fright Night screening, and tonight I’m going to rewatch the original film on NetFlix (for the first time in like a decade or two), and then tomorrow I’m interviewing Colin Farrell.
The cast and creators of the quirky film Lars and the Real Girl met with members of the press during the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival.
