Writer-director Aaron Sorkin said there are three things he hopes audiences walk away with after watching his newest film, “Being the Ricardos,” about the lives of Lucille Ball and Desi…
“Mostly, I want them to have a good time during the two hours that were asked for their attention, realize that the lives of Lucy and Desi were considerably more complicated than Lucy and Ricky and pay less attention to Twitter,” he told Set in the backdrop of 1950s Hollywood, “Being the Ricardos” examines the complex marriage of the beloved “I Love Lucy” co-stars.
“I had no idea,” Kidman said. “You watch the way her whole life is going to be over literally with one headline that’s actually incorrect. Yes, she took the box, but you don’t hear the explanation or nuance of it. I really feel like everyone deserves a chance to acclaim and nuance.” While these life-changing events actually occurred in real-life, Sorkin decided to blend these moments together into a one-week timeframe.
“I’m not done wanting to work with great directors, but I have directed the last three screenplays I’ve written,” Sorkin said. “I haven’t yet written a screenplay knowing that I was going to be the director of the movie. In each case, it’s come as a surprise to me. But I’ve really enjoyed it.”
