The Big Chill

“I pulled The Big Chill for purely mercenary reasons, on the off chance that Larry Kasdan or either of his incredibly talented two sons happen to be watching this. Because once a year I go to Larry Kasdan and I say, “Come on, man, how about a sequel to The Big Chill?” They’re grown up now. They have kids. They have grandkids. But Larry, maybe wisely, thinks it was pretty good as it is.”

“The Big Chill, this is the kind of movie that I want to make. Big ensemble relationship drama, the reunion of it all and these characters and the history that they have and the story that it weaves through that history is so fun to watch unfold. If I ever make something that's even as close to this good, I would die a happy man for sure.”

“The Big Chill… is one of my mum’s favorite films. And these are the kind of movies that we would watch when I was growing up. And I really miss this vibe of film. It’s actually very Chekhovian. It’s just people in a House and people loving each other and people falling out of love with each other and the history and the complicated, gnarly dynamics that a group of friends have when they’ve known each other that long. And it’s also just an incredible cast.”

“Didn't realize there was a Blu-ray of that. So good.”
