During a talk held in Berlin ‘s Hebbel am Ufer theater, Berlinale jury presidentTodd Haynes shed light on how his filmmaking craft evolved from Superstar and Safe to Carol, as well as how Mark Ruffalo brought him a career-changing script. “Mark Ruffalo came to me with early draft of Dark Waters, which was just so utterly unlike the kind of movies that I’ve been associated with, the sort of exposé of a lawyer taking down and challenging criminal practices on a farm,” said Haynes. “There are always going to be other pockets of desire and inspiration that aren’t necessarily the thing that people attach to you and the very fact that he came to me led us down a whole other fantastic path,” added Haynes.
