My "Date" With Simon Kinberg
Sunday, 26 October 2008
Simon KinbergI didn't know much about Simon Kinberg before I met him. All I knew was that he wrote MR. AND MRS. SMITH and other very high-profile studio pictures and was considered "a success story" of Columbia's MFA Film program. I knew he was active in Columbia Alumni Affairs and was well liked, but there were the requisite spurious rumors:

"Isn't he British?"

"Dude, that guy totally c*** blocked me at a party the other night."

"Oh, that guy is so part of a massive conspiracy engineered by The Masons."

Going into the interview, I brought many preconceptions to bear - thinking of other "high profile" writers and directors I have met. These other meetings have always proven bittersweet as I've detected a mix of pride, relief and a pervasive tinge of panic caused by the often unpredictable mood swings of the studios. Sometimes there is a sense of partying it up in Pompeii with soft rumblings in the distance.

Image*Try to picture a subterranean, swanky speak easy, cross it with the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, add a dash of old Hollywood….better yet, don’t even try picturing it, because even your SOA-enhanced imagination won’t do 86 justice! But come hang out in the stage lounge, pull up to one of 2 bars that look like they’ve been lit by one of the better gaffers in town, or wax exclusive relaxing in one of the private rooms, including the new Goldwyn Room. Even smokers will feel at home, as 86 provides interior smoking breezeway lounges (with one-way mirror...non-smokers will brave the smoke to see it).
