Tony Award-winning playwright Matthew López discusses the extensive search for the perfect set of actors to play Alex and Henry, how he convinced the producers that he was the best person to helm the film, and the new golden age for rom coms.
ABOUT THE SHOW
Alex Claremont-Diaz (Taylor Zakhar Perez), the son of the first woman President of the United States (Uma Thurman), and Britain’s Prince Henry (Nicholas Galitzine) have a lot in common: good looks, charisma,
popularity…and total disdain for each other. But as Alex and Henry’s icy relationship unexpectedly begins to thaw into a tentative friendship, the friction between them sparks something deeper than they ever
expected-romance.
Half Hour With: Red, White & Royal Blue
Matthew López (Director/Co-Writer/EP)
Moderated by Emily Longeretta, Senior TV Features Editor, Variety

What a delightful and informative interview. Warm hearted, honest, and humorous. Looking back, it reveals what a milestone in movie making RWARB has become, both from the PoV of creatives and audiences alike. This interview shows many things; what a thoroughly nice man Matthew Lopez is - and that nice guys sometimes win. That heart and hope wins out over prejudice and nit picking, that this is a film made by a team of talented and properly motivated creatives and gave a showcase to some wonderfully talented actors at the top of their game. And who all deserve, for the most human and humane reasons, as well as cinematic ones, to win every award going.

Matthew, I hope you will put Rafael Luna in the sequel. You could get Ramon de Ocampo to play him. Ramon is just gorgeous.

It's actually incredible that it wasn't just in the film's script that Alex was boycotted in the casting of the actors. Henry being the priority in the lineup is crazy where he is so far from Alex's real story where he narrates the book from beginning to end nothing we know about Henry is not something Alex was interested in knowing or was in his presence and we go back to the film with all the changes Alex literally made and if we look at Henry in the film, he has all the actions identical to the book, even scenes that were Alex's were given to Herry, it's noticeable now. you Matt put a target on Taylor's back by making all these baseless changes and what you did to Alex spilled over onto the actor even though he had no guilt about it he was just doing his job and what was requested by law and the script was weak and meaningless luck wow, at least TZP is a lover of the book and supported Alex in the film from beginning to end even with scenes taken from his matt ass. I sincerely hope that it learned from its damn mistakes and gives a worthy sequel because thinking that it did a good job here is insane. and you don't want to publicize the deleted scenes because these scenes would probably be scenes that would give a new look to the film without boycotts for one of the protagonists I will never forget that you changed the palace scene leaving Henry identical to the book and Alex with a script taken from your ass and where was that what most attacked tzp due to your mistake and stupidity

Now I need to go back to the book, I think that you are saying the book was written principally from “Alex’s” point of view and the “Henry” was given lines and scenes that in the book Alex narrated. I missed the boycott? What the Actors Strike? When adapting a book you have to bring a book to life visually, smoosh some narratives chop some sub plots etc. I don’t think there was any hidden agenda but designed to elide scenes with Alex. Taylor and Nick are both so good with a great support cast, the chemistry and interplay is fantastic. we have all seen movies adapted from print that we know aren't as good as the book but in this case the story came to life, vibrant and funny and somehow despite the deep fantasy aspect (Sorry Meagan and Harry) real.

@@JamesJones-tt9sf Read again what I wrote. Alex went through all the changes in his story, Henry is all there, so you don't see this as a boycott says a lot, doesn't it?
