THE ICE STORM: Tobey Maguire’s Terrible Audition and the Film That Saved Katie Holmes’ Career

Producers James Schamus and Ted Hope recount the making of the movie that almost wasn't....until Ang Lee had the brilliant vision to bring this impossible-to-adapt book to the screen. The film went from "unmakeable" to competing for the Palme d'Or at Cannes where multi-hyphenate James Schamus won Best Screenplay. Ang Lee has an intimate understand of acting, so worked organically with the cast to allow them room to play with the script and create the film's unique feeling of fantasy meets reality in which everything happens on an ambitious precipice.
