Interview: Aaron Sorkin on his new film Molly’s Game, starring Jessica Chastain
As one of the few screenwriters in the world with above-the-title name recognition, Aaron Sorkin decided to give the first-time director of his new film Molly’s Game some advice before arriving on set. “Don’t pretend you know more than you do; you’ll be figured out,” he cautioned. “These people are smart.” He had some words of encouragement too. “You know what you want. You’re not at sea here. Project that confidence. Lead and people will follow.”
