Geoffrey Rush Talks Stalled Groucho Marx Project, Shinya Tsukamoto’s Vietnam War Film
Geoffrey Rush is at the Taormina Film Festival to receive a Taormina Excellence Award as well as present his new thriller “The Rule of Jenny Pen."

I had that conversation with James Ashcroft, the director of “Jenny Pen.” He said you can go anywhere now but he feels actors are much more interesting if they know the space that they’re in, rather than pretending, just looking at a piece of pink tape on a wall being the antagonist. And driving home from the studios in New Jersey and traveling down Sixth Avenue at peak hour, no computer in the world is going to keep a number of driverless cars safe in that madness.
