A wonderful poster on PhantomFanNet typed up the Patrick Wilson interview...

Read all the way through...it sounds like a return to NYC is definitely in his plans. Broadway is mentioned and he says he has a girlfriend in NYC. (Dagmara Dominczyk, I presume. She was with him at the Emmys. They must be quite serious--he usually doesn't mention his love life to the press.)

So...we may get to see TSMrW back on Broadway in the not too distant future! :o)

October Issue of Interview Magazine:

PATRICK WILSON

WHERE WERE YOU BORN? Norfolk, Virginia.

WHAT WAS THE THING THAT MADE THE WORLD SIT UP AND TAKE NOTICE OF YOU? My commercial, in 1980 with Dan Dierdorf, when I was 8 years old. That was a strong, strong performance of mine. In an honest world, I guess the easy answer is Angels in America.

IF YOU COULD CALL ANYONE RIGHT NOW, WHO WOULD IT BE? I'd like to call Bush and give him a talking-to, but I'm afraid the phones would be tapped, so I guess I'd just call Jesus and say, "Is this a part of your plan?"

WHO OR WHAT WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO WAIT IN LINE FOR? I would be willing to wait in line for Van Halen tickets, even though I'm going to call my connections. I don't have to wait in line, but I would. And I have before.

WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT? The fact that I could kind of take the whole thing or leave it.

IF YOU HAD A CHANCE TO RE-CREATE ANY SCENE FROM ANY MOVIE, WHAT WOULD IT BE, AND WHY? If I could re-create any scene it would be Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke eating all those eggs--just to see what that would feel like.

WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 35 YEARS? Thirty-five years puts me at 66. Hopefully with grandkids, still in the business, probably going back and forth between doing plays and movies.

DESCRIBE YOUR AURA. Blue is the color for me. I think blue can be very hot, like a blue flame, and IO also think blue is a very soothing color. But at the end of the day, it's just a good color. It's my favorite color. It's the color of my eyes.

WHAT'S WORTH FIGHTING FOR? Democracy, freedom, love. No, you shouldn't have to fight for love. Yeah, love is meant to be fought for.

IS AMERICA STILL THE LAND OF THE FREE? Yes.

WHAT'S THE ONE THING YOU CAN'T BE WITHOUT? My family and friends. Everything else is just guitars and golf clubs and beer.

WHAT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING YOU'VE EVER SEEN? The most beautiful thing I've ever seen was my firstborn neice. Seeing my brother and his daughter made me want to be a father.

HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE AMBITION? Ambition is focus. It's a sport to me. Ambition changes, I think because your goals change. Ambition is what drives you. What defines my ambition is seeing myself succeeding in a situation, and it's the catalyst that gets me there.

WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT? It's all about sitting around with your family at sunset after 18 holes of golf, with a beer in your hand.

WHAT'S COMING UP NEXT? Yeah, the Emmys. [Wilson is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Ator in a Miniseries or Movie for his role as Joe Pitt in last year's HBO movie adaption of Tony Kushner's play Angels in America.] Then there's the release of The Phantom of the Opera [Wilson stars in Joel Schumacher's film adaption of Andrew Lloyd Webber musical], and hopefully a couple of movies and a Broadway show. That's my plan for next year.

And then there's a movie called Hard Candy [a psychological thriller from first time director David Slade] that's coming out. Hopefully it will be at Sundance in January.

And personally, I've got to find a new home, literally. Yeah, I gotta get out of my place. I've got a girlfriend in New York. It's that black and white."



Doesn't he sound like just the nicest, level-headed guy!

I'd kill for him to come back to Broadway. But I do love that he's doing a lot of movies now. I just love Patrick Wilson.

this man is orgasmic.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! He talked about coming back to Broadway. ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

That is all I have to say. Thank you.

I can only hope that TSMrW is cast as Stanley Kowalski opposite Miranda Richardson's Blanche du Bois in Roundabout's STREETCAR in April. He'd be marvelous in the role....and oh, that 6 pack!

Blech!

[Thoroughly Modern Cara]

Posted: 9/24/04 at 11:15pm

Ohhh...there is hope for us! Let's just hope he hurries up...he needs to be back on the stage!

Here's a link to the PhantomFansNet messageboard page where megustajake has scanned the shots from Patrick's photo shoot. (scroll down, you'll find them.)

Enjoy! And as for him playing Stanley in Street Car Named Desire...check out the pic in the tank T-shirt...

Sweet Jesus, I was pretty indifferent to TSMrW but that tank top pic has made me...less indifferent. Ooooh.

Emmy Rossum's very pretty. I hope she stays classier than her counterpart Mischa Barton. (I don't know if they're really counterparts, but they're both tall, thin, young, pretty and rising stars.)

Where's the coverage on Gerard Butler?

I have yet to fall under Patrick Wilson's spell. He's just "whatever" to me.

He better be a good Raoul...

[beacon1]

Posted: 9/25/04 at 1:26am

I think the media "blitz" for POTO is saving Gerard for last...just toying with the "phans." :o)

And, I am so hoping Broadway gets Patrick back in a timely manner...I'm gonna start saving my pennies now!

I'd love him to be in a musical...but I'll take anything! :o)

Seth needs to have him on Chatterbox again, too!

I still haven't heard/seen Patrick sing/dance/act, whatever. My less indifferent stance is based solely on the hot tank top pic.

Are there any (legal...or...) clips of Patrick singing online?

On www.patrickwilson.org
you can explore the links on the lefthand side of the page to get to music links to songs from "The Full Monty" Breeze off the River (his solo), Big Ass Rock, and Man

And, here is the page on this board with the MP3 clip of "All I Ask of You" sung by Patrick and Emmy. It was played on a BBC Radio interview with Sir Andrew LLoyd Webber a few weeks ago and it was posted on this site:

Dollypop you did that on purpose, I swear. It's NATASHA and not the utterly divine Miranda in next year's Streetcar. Shame on you for exciting me needlessly.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 9/25/04 at 11:03am

Dear God. Those pictures!

[beacon1]

Posted: 9/25/04 at 2:08pm

However...Patrick and Miranda DID work together in the POTO film...he's Raoul, she's Madame Giry!

[popcultureboy]

Posted: 9/25/04 at 2:10pm

That's cold comfort, Beacon, cold comfort.

[beacon1]

Posted: 9/25/04 at 2:15pm

Sorry, pcb! :o)

Perhaps you could pen something for the two of them to do on Broadway??? :o)

[beacon1]

Posted: 9/25/04 at 5:40pm

Who else is going to be in "Streetcar Named Desire" in the spring???

[beacon1]

Posted: 9/26/04 at 9:29pm

Here's a third shot from that magazine. Apparently the cover is a "fold out" and Patrick is on it...

(scroll down, you'll see it.)

He's wearing the tank t-shirt again...

Enjoy!

I now have a new favorite Patrick picture.
