We spoke w/ Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, John David Washington & David O. Russell about making 'Amsterdam.'
Written and directed by David O. Russell and inspired by historical facts, Amsterdam follows best friends Dr. Burt Berendsen and attorney Harold Woodman who, along with an unusually artistic nurse named Valerie Voze , find themselves on an adventure in the 1930s that leads to them being at the center of a murder investigation.
DAVID O. RUSSELL: Christian and I were very interested in creating original characters that we would want to hang out with, that he would love to play, and that I’d love to be around. We wanted them to be characters that we’ve never seen before and that no one has ever seen him, Margot [Robbie], John David [Washington], or any of these people be before. That’s where it began.
RUSSELL: These are characters that are based on some historical characters, who went through tremendous things together. In some way, all of my movies have been about this. Whether it’s The Fighter, or Silver Linings, or American Hustle, or Joy, they’re about outsiders who find their way and find reasons to love life, in spite of whatever it is they’re facing. That’s what the notion of Amsterdam is.
RUSSELL: Christian’s character is based on an actual guy named Dr. Shields, who was the officer that joined that regiment and introduced these two guys under very unlikely circumstances. Christian and I would look at these big pictures from the period, of people partying in huge dance halls, and we’d go, “Look at these two people dancing together. I’ve never heard their story. I don’t think anybody has recorded their story.” A lot of history is not actually recorded.
