Read the latest entry about Emily Mortimer over at the official movie blog for “City Island” by its director Raymond de Felitta. There are also 2 Outtakes clips!

Her “Molly”–her character in “City Island”–is so lovingly drawn, so original and so effortlessly tossed off as to make me feel that I overwrote, overthought and overthunk the whole thing: Emily showed up and showed me how it should be done and who this woman truly was. Oddly we only worked together for about five days–yet now that I’ve got the whole movie assembled it feels like she’s in at least half of it. Somebody wrote me in the comments section askiing about screentime for the actors: both Emily and Julianna share the same amount of screen time. But for whatever reason, Emily’s shoot days were concentrated into just a few and Julianna stuck out the run of the show. It felt to me like Emily was doing a cameo–but not at all; she is a major and majorly important piece of the puzzle that is “City Island”.
