Скачать или смотреть Uma Thurman & Andy García Interview on "Jennifer 8" (November 5, 1992)

Jennifer 8 is a 1992 American thriller film written and directed by Bruce Robinson and starring Andy García, Uma Thurman, and John Malkovich.

While establishing scenes were shot in Eureka and Trinidad, California, most filming took place in various municipalities of Greater Vancouver, British Columbia, including: Riverview Hospital in Coquitlam; Richmond for the rural London Heritage Farm and for the Marine Garage in Steveston; and, Maple Ridge for the dump and for "John Berlin's" farmhouse. The film's sets were designed by the art director Richard Macdonald.

Bruce Robinson later said that the film had been hurt by studio interference: "There were four different heads of studio on that movie, they all wanted different things. The worst thing happened before we made the movie and that was having Andy (García), great guy that he is, on the movie. I didn't write it for a handsome young lead, I wrote it for a shagged out old cop like Gene Hackman or Al Pacino (...) The problem is the moment you see Andy García and Uma Thurman on screen together you think, "That ain't bad. A couple of romantic leads, that's nice." The whole point was that he was this fucked guy; he was Rod Steiger if you like."[2]
