We spoke w/ SeanAstin about iMordecai and how genuine and wholesome the story is.
Sean Astin is no stranger to either big blockbuster franchises or smaller independent films. Most recently, he starred in indie iMordecai, in which he plays the son of Mordecai and Fela Samel, an elderly Jewish-American couple who find themselves struggling a bit in the modern-day world. That all changes when their son, Marvin , buys Mordecai an iPhone. The Holocaust survivor must find his way in a world that has changed so much around him.
I like him. He's a good person, and you can see when he's analyzing a situation or trying to work out a problem. He's coming at it from a position of– he just [has a] pure heart, and I think that just infused every aspect of this sweet movie. You know, his mom passed away just before we started filming, and in a lot of ways the movie is for his mom, his mom and dad, and about him. And so that carried with it, a lot of it was very poignant, emotional moments for him.
But with Marvin, it wasn't like having to research a character in a novel, or something like that, or a character from some known franchise, or something like that. This is just helping a young filmmaker tell his story, and it was just– I don't wanna say it was easy, but it just felt very comfortable to help him. And then there were a lot of logistics challenges because, you know, he didn't have a lot of money.
I would be remiss if I didn't ask you about Lord of the Rings because we're coming up on the 20th anniversary of The Return of the King, which is hard to believe. So, what do you treasure most about that experience of filming the trilogy?
