Drew Barrymore gets directorial advice from Steven Spielberg
Drew Barrymore will make her directorial debut this weekend with her roller derby flick, Whip It.
“[My godfather Steven Spielberg] is a great mentor,” Drew told Access Hollywood. “He always talks about how important that is, mentoring, and he keeps his word. He really does… [He] told me when I was doing ET, ‘Never act your characters, be your characters.’ So I’ve always been very performance-oriented since then in trying to really believe in what you’re doing and instead of acting, just being that person.”
Whip It is a written by Shauna Cross, based on Cross' novel Derby Girl. The film is rated PG-13 for sexual content including crude dialogue, language and drug material.
