En Algun Lugar Del Memoria INFORMACIÓN DE LA PRODUCCIÓN En En Algún Lugar de la Memoria , el nuevo drama de Columbia Pictures, los ex compañeros de habitación de la universidad Charlie Fineman (Adam Sandler) y Alan Johnson (Don Cheadle) se vuelven a encontrar por casualidad en la esquina de una calle de Manhattan. Cinco años después de perder a su familia en el 11S, Charlie — antes un dentista de éxito— se ha retirado de su vida, y Alan está asombrado al ver los cambios que se han producido en su, anteriormente sociable, amigo. Al mismo tiempo, Alan —que debería estar disfrutando de su bella mujer, sus hijos y su carrera— se encuentra sobrecogido por las responsabilidades. Su renacida relación se convierte en un punto de apoyo para los dos hombres que necesitan de un amigo en el que confiar en este momento fundamental de sus vidas. En Algún Lugar de la Memoria ha sido escrita y dirigida por Mike Binder ( Más Allá del Odio ). Columbia Pictures presenta En Algún Lugar de la Memoria , en asociación con Relativity Media, una producción de Madison 23/Sunlight. La película está protagonizada por Adam Sandler, Don Cheadle, Jada Pinkett Smith, Liv Tyler, Saffron Burrows, Donald Sutherland, y Mike Binder. Escrita y dirigida por Mike Binder, la película está producida por Jack Binder y Michael Rotenberg. Los productores ejecutivos son Jack Giarraputo y Lynwood Spinks. El director de fotografía es Russ Alsobrook, ASC. El diseñador de producción es Pipo Wintter. Los montadores son Steve Edwards y Jeremy Roush. La diseñadora de vestuario es Deborah L. Scott. La música es de Rolfe Kent. La supervisión musical es de Dave Jordan. SOBRE LA HISTORIA “Siempre quise escribir una historia sobre la amistad”, dice Mike Binder, escritor y director de En Algún Lugar de la Memoria , el nuevo drama de Columbia Pictures protagonizado por Adam Sandler y Don Cheadle en los papeles de dos viejos amigos que vuelven a conectar después de años de separación. Ambos se convierten en su apoyo mutuo ya que están pasando por un momento difícil de sus vidas. "Todos nosotros necesitamos un amigo que nos ayude en tiempos difíciles. Toda esta película trata de la comunicación —dos hombres que, juntos, aprenden a empezar a hablar". En el centro de En Algún Lugar de la Memoria está la relación entre Charlie Fineman (Sandler) y Alan Johnson (Cheadle), ex compañeros de habitación de la universidad que se encuentran otra vez por casualidad después de muchos años. Charlie ha perdido a toda su familia. Aunque, en comparación, la vida de Alan parece perfecta, se siente sobrecogido por las responsabilidades familiares y profesionales y necesita apoyo para aprender a ver la bendición que tiene. “Uno de los denominadores comunes en la gente que ha soportado la pérdida de un ser querido es que lo van superando gracias a sus amigos y su familia, y quería mostrar eso”, dice Binder. “Alan, por otra parte, siente que es incapaz de comunicar lo que necesita. Tiene un gran matrimonio, pero no lo demuestra. El alma de esta película es la historia de dos hombres que no tienen a nadie con quien hablar pero que, a medida que la película progresa, se dan cuenta de que se tienen el uno a otro". Alrededor de Sandler y Cheadle, Binder contrató a un grupo de actores veteranos y estrellas en crecimiento. Jada Pinkett Smith hace el papel de Janeane Johnson, la bella y fiel esposa de Alan, y Liv Tyler es Angela Oakhurst, una joven terapeuta cuyo deseo más ferviente de ayudar a la gente podría ser la primera piedra que Charlie necesita para ayudarle en su recuperación. Saffron Burrows interpreta a Donna Remar, una bella aunque problemática joven que entra en las vidas de Charlie y Alan de un modo inesperado. Redondeando el reparto está Donald Sutherland como el juez Raines. Binder, que es un actor aclamado por la crítica, se contrató a si mismo como gerente del trabajo de Charlie, Sugarman. 2 El atraer a un reparto tan consumado es un testamento de la fuerza de la historia y las ricas caracterizaciones de Binder. “Mike escribe con unos actores en mente”, dice Jack Binder, productor de la película y hermano del escritor y director. “Una vez contratados, trabajará con ellos para construir su trasfondo y ajustar el material a sus fuertes. Aunque al principio creo que los actores simplemente se sienten atraidos por la belleza de su forma de escribir”. Como actor, Mike Binder es sensible al proceso de actuación y crea un entorno de confianza y colaboración. La coproductora Rachel Zimmerman añade, “A Mike no le gusta tomar notas de guión de mucha gente, pero siempre escucha a los actores”. El escenario de una película también se convierte en un personaje. Muchas de las tomas exteriores se aprovechan de los restaurantes, bares, cines y edificios de apartamentos de Nueva York. Más que los monumentos y vistas que hacen famosa a la ciudad, Binder centra sus lentes en los lugares cotidianos que dan personalidad a la ciudad. “Todas aquellas secuencias donde Charlie y Alan van en scooter por la noche, tomando comida china a las tres de la mañana —todo eso es parte de cómo una persona viviría en Nueva York si estuviera un poco solo, tuviera problemas o sólo quisiera libertad. La ciudad viene a representar en gran medida el modo en que ellos se sienten", dice la actriz Saffron Burrows. “Es una historia de Nueva York”, declara Zimmerman. “La decisión de rodar allí fue una de las decisiones creativas más importantes de la pre-producción. Gran parte de la película es el personaje de Adam Sandler yendo arriba y abajo en su scooter bajo el frío. El personaje sólo se podría haber captado en el propio Nueva York”. El equipo cubrió mucho terreno durante casi un mes de rodaje. "Usamos todas las oportunidades para conseguir todos los exteriores, los fondos y el sabor de Nueva York que pudiéramos —todo por encima de la puerta de entrada de los edificios”, comenta 3 Jack Binder. Pasando largas noches en East Village, donde se rodó gran cantidad de acción en la scooter, el equipo captó el alma de la ciudad. Una de las razones por la que la historia está ambientada en Nueva York es que En Algún Lugar de la Memoria nació de las experiencias y observaciones de Mike Binder en un día de tragedia. El escritor y director estaba en Nueva York el 11 de septiembre de 2001. “Paseaba por las calles, viendo a la gente que había perdido toda su vida en un día”, recuerda. “Un año y medio más tarde, estaba de vuelta en Nueva York con mi familia, recordando a toda esa gente que había visto. Seguí pensando que para muchos de ellos, ese día nunca terminó —su trauma continúa. Eso desató la idea de hacer una historia de un superviviente, años más tarde, y de la gente de su vida que lo empuja a seguir adelante". El guión naciente resonó en el amigo de toda la vida de Binder, el productor Michael Rotenberg, que estaba con Binder en ese día funesto en Nueva York. "En un momento escalofriante, toda la vida de una persona puede cambiar”, dice. “Ya sea el 11S, el tsunami, o cualquier otro desastre, el azar del destino puede arrebatarle a una persona todo lo que ama. Después, tras unas pocas semanas tras un periodo de tiempo en el que parece que todo el mundo está a su lado, estos individuos se quedan solos para tomar conciencia de su situación". El título original de En Algún Lugar de la Memoria , “Reign over me”, toma su título de una canción del mítico álbum de los Who, “Quadrophenia”, que Mike Binder dice que puso constantemente mientras escribía el guión. Como la película de Binder, el álbum trata de un individuo roto que es incapaz de comunicarse. "Quadrophenia" fue un álbum realmente especial para mí cuando crecía", dice. "Yo era un gran fan de los Who y quería que la película tuviera la misma sensación que su trabajo —una especie de dolor jubiloso”. Binder siempre ha escrito para música. Su sabor es ecléctico, pero para esta película se centró en una época particular que pensó que representaría mejor a Charlie 4 Fineman. “La gente guarda la música de una cierta parte de su vida y en el caso de Charlie él la guarda de una época que devoró a su mujer. Regresa al pasado y se obsesiona con la música de los 70 y los 80 como una forma de evitar todo lo que soporta desde entonces. Se esconde en esta época de la música". Las elecciones de música excéntrica sólo son una marca de la voz de Mike Binder como escritor y director. Como apunta Zimmerman, el estilo de contar una historia de Binder encaja perfectamente con En Algún Lugar de la Memoria . “Viene del cine independiente", dice. "Se centra en la historia y en las relaciones entre los personajes. Además, como también tiene una pequeño papel en sus películas, puede trabajar estrechamente con los actores. El resultado final es que los actores confían en él y en sus instintos”. Otra característica que marca la voz de Binder es la comedia sutil y delicada tejida en el guión. Como hizo en Más Allá del Odio y en otras películas, los gentiles toques cómicos de Binder captan los momentos agridulces de la vida. "Todos tratamos de encontrar toda la comedia posible porque eso le daba un buen contrapunto a la tragedia de Charlie", dice Cheadle. “Todos los guiones que escribo empiezan como una comedia, pero mis comedias favoritas siempre provienen de un sitio real”, dice Binder.

Carroll Date Professor of History Dr. Samuel Regalado Date Professor of History Dr. Marcy Rose Chvasta Date Professor of Communications © 2014 Kathleen Boone Chapman ALL RIGHTS RESERVED DEDICATION I am dedicating this work to my three dear friends: Ronda James, Candace Paulson, and Michele Sniegoski. Ronda’s encouragement and obedience to the Lord gave me what I needed to go back to school with significant health issues and so late in life. Candace, who graduated from Stanford “back in the olden days,” to quote our kids, inspired me to follow my dream and become all God wants me to be. Michele’s long struggle with terminal kidney disease motivated me to keep living in spite of my own health issues. We have laughed and cried together over many years, but all of you have given me strength to carry on. Sorry two of you made it to heaven before I could get this finished. I also want to give credit to my husband of forty years who has been a faithful breadwinner, proof-reader, and a paragon of patience. What more could any woman ask for? He has also put up with me yelling at my computer and cursing Bill Gates – A LOT.

  • Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler Are Cracking Up. Sitting Across From
    Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler are cracking up. Sitting across from each other in a booth at a Hooters restaurant in Lawrenceville, Georgia, the longtime friends have reunited here on the set of Blended, their third romantic comedy together, which opens with the scene they are currently shooting: a blind date between two recently single parents that goes from awkward to I- never-want-to-see-you-again in less time than it takes to share a plate of hot wings. Thanks to some mildly un-chivalrous behavior on the part of Jim, the schlubby sporting goods salesman played by Sandler, Barrymore’s character Lauren, a tightly- wound business owner, is forced to hurriedly chug his French onion soup, which she winds up spilling all over her pearls and prim white blouse. Sandler and Barrymore manage to keep straight faces as she deftly dribbles the soup down her chin and soaks her shirtfront, but as soon as director Frank Coraci calls “Cut!” the actors erupt into laughter. They’ve shot multiple takes, each more entertaining than the last, but Barrymore wants to keep going, to try and make the bit even funnier. “Drew’s comedy chops are at an all-time high,” says Coraci, who directed the duo in their first project together, the smash 1998 hit The Wedding Singer. (He also directed Sandler in his breakout success, The Waterboy, and the 2006 comedy Click.) “The Wedding Singer was Drew’s first straight-up comedy, and over the years she’s really honed her comedy skills. She has become a pro that can go toe-to-toe with Adam, as you can see in Blended, where she has to do a lot of heavy lifting in terms of the physical comedy.” A few months later, hanging out with a reporter in Sandler’s office, he and Barrymore are riffing on each other’s jokes and finishing each other’s sentences with the ease of two people who truly get a kick out of each other.
