Salon.com<\/a> has a heartfelt story of Richard Linklater’s actual life before the 1995 film production of “Before Sunrise,” which now has a third film, “Before Midnight,” currently in theaters.<\/p>\n

Even in the midst of that romantic night, the filmmaker in Linklater couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t help but consider its cinematic possibilities. In a 2004 interview with the New York Times, he remembered \u00e2\u20ac\u0153walking around [thinking], \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcIf I could just capture this feeling I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m having right now,\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 instead of actually having that feeling<\/a>.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d On a recent episode of the podcast The Q&A with Jeff Goldsmith, he recalled mentioning the movie idea to Lehrhaupt that night<\/a>:<\/p>\n

What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re you talking about?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d And I was like, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Just this. This feeling. This thing that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going on between us.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
