Long before “Marriage Story” writer-director Noah Baumbach was attached to Netflix’s “White Noise,” several filmmakers mounted attempts to adapt the notoriously “unfilmable” novel of the same name …
in 2004 that “The Addams Family” director Barry Sonnenfeld was on board to direct the film, known as his “longtime passion project.” The torch was then handed off to Michael Almereyda, best known for his 2000 film “Hamlet” starring Ethan Hawke, after Uri Singer acquired the rights to DeLillo’s novel.on Friday, making its North American debut after a divisive premiere at the Venice Film Festival.
“I read it when I was a kid and I lived with images from that book for years that I wasn’t even sure were in the book anymore,” Baumbach said“And then when I reread it, I was quite surprised to go back and see what actually was in the book and what maybe I had extrapolated.” When first reading the novel and Baumbach’s script, composer Danny Elfman said he found “the beauty was that there was no genre.”“It’s a dark comedy, but it’s not just a comedy — it’s romantic but it’s also satirical and [there’s] social commentary. I don’t know how to describe it. So [with] the music, it just meant anything goes — and everything went.”
“It brought me back to years ago, just goofing around with Tim Burton on these crazy films that no one knew what to make of,” Elfman said“There aren’t many films that I’ve worked on that you go, ‘Really, what is this film?’ And ‘White Noise,’ it’s got that quality.”that “we need people who are ambitious with cinema. I’m a big believer that the tentpole films are less lively without films like this.
