Emile Sherman has learned the hard way the price you pay for winning arguments. “I spent my childhood arguing with my sister. I would take opposing views and dance around with a whole range of different viewpoints that I’m not even sure I ever really believed,” says the Oscar-winning producer behind films including
The King’s Speech and
Lion. He enjoyed the thrill of “arguing the other side” and knew how to push her buttons. (He once argued that “elephants love being in zoos”.) “It massively damaged [our relationship], damaged trust, and she felt that I didn’t take her seriously, that I wasn’t there [in conversation] in good faith,” says Sherman about his childhood relationship with his sister, Ondine Sherman, an animal rights activist. Now, he says, they have a good relationship and are “able to take the p out of our own views”.

Director Judd Apatow describes himself as the “anti-David Fincher.”
“I’m not the person that thinks you need to do 10 or 20 takes to get rid of all self-consciousness, to drain the actors so that they become so pure and in the moment,” the “King of Staten Island” helmer revealed on
“I love it, I mean, what’s better than ‘Zodiac? ” Apatow continued. “When I see a Coen brothers movie, and people are like, ‘They have storyboards for the whole thing and they don’t change one comma.’ Nothing would break me faster than if you told me I had to make a movie and not change everything constantly. I don’t believe in myself in that way.”
