"Coming Attractions" -- E! Channel

November 20, 2000

 

I just watched the Quills trailer on E! Channel's "Coming Attractions" program. It's exactly the same as the trailer on the official site, but included a bonus - comments from Kate! She was interviewed on the Quills set and was in costume as Madeleine. I've transcribed it for you and included two screen captures:

Host Todd Newton, introducing the trailer: "One of the film's stars, Kate Winslet, tells us about her character's relationship with the scandalous writer."

Kate: "She sort of his friend, his confidant, his muse, really. She's the only sort of privileged laundry lass who gets to speak to the marquis, take the linens to the Marquis de Sade, who's kind of like the Mick Jagger of the asylum. He's hidden somewhere, and he's this kind of famous, secret sort of special person that no one else is allowed to communicate with, largely because he's meant to be so dangerous. But she sort of sees him as a silly old codger."

Todd: "Right. Apparently, Kate's character knows how to tame the savage beast. Here's Kate in Quills."
