From the outset, the director and screenwriter were adamant about casting an autistic actor in the titular role and hiring cast and crew members who had a personal experience with neurodivergence.
Anna Kendrick. Chris Pine. Taika Waititi. Ethan Hawke. Actors stepping behind the camera was a major theme of this year’s TIFF. Here’s how they stacked up.“We wanted to bring the community in and make them a part of our process,” Goldwyn says. “I wanted to get it right, but there is no ‘right.’ The right is if most people connected with that community watch this movie and say, ‘Yeah, that felt honest to me.
I’ve always loved Tony’s writing. His dialogue is always so alive. It is always very emotionally honest. It has tremendous heart, and he always finds the counterpoint with humor and drama. Nothing takes itself too seriously, and at the same time, it’s not too cute and slick and trying to be funny. I learned a tremendous amount about directing from working with William, who is an autistic boy of 14. He looks much younger, so he plays 11 in the movie, but William had never acted before. He’s incredibly naturally gifted and super smart, and while he has many sensitivities as many people on the autism spectrum have, he is fearless in other ways. His mind is so sharp.
