The Mysteries of ‘Mysteries’

October 20, 2006 Justine 3 Comments

For those of you following the filming of The Mysteries of Pittsburgh (for better or for worse), yesterday’s Post-Gazette has a new interview with director Rawson Marshall Thurber, who expounds on his love for Chabon’s 1988 novel as well as his admiration for the city itself:

“I was blown away by how beautiful [Pittsburgh] is. I didn’t realize it’s as hilly as it is, as green as it is, and in the film, I’ve been hoping or trying to go for this Edward Hopper vibe, both from a compositional standpoint and a color palette standpoint, and Pittsburgh just lends itself to that,” with its brick buildings and many bridges.

For more of Thurber’s thoughts on Pittsburgh, Sienna scandals, and movie-making in general, you can read the entire interview here. The P-G reports that filming will wrap this Friday, October 20.
