VENICE : Celebrated U.S. filmmaker Paul Schrader is known for writing strong male leads, but at the age of 76, he has decided to head into uncharted territory and produce a screenplay with a female protagonist.
Speaking to Reuters after picking up the prize, Schrader said he had achieved everything he had set out to do in cinema, but still thought he had more work left in him."I know every writer is always told to write what you know. And I've written what I know now. Maybe I should write what I don't know. You know, maybe I should write about a woman."
"I'm even tempted to seek ... a co-director just because it's such a female piece. And I don't know whether I might be better served with a female co-director," he added, without giving any further details of the project.
Mr. Nationwide just used the wrong weapon, and wound up... killed in action.
