A Million Little Pieces<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is as raw, bloody and messy as James Frey<\/a> wrote it. With the startling intensity he shocked Toronto with in Nocturnal Animals\u00a0<\/em>two years ago, Aaron Taylor-Johnson<\/a> plays Frey through his evolution from a hopeless, cornered animal descending down a drug-induced death spiral to someone who pulls out of the nosedive after reluctantly embracing help from a group of fellow addicts to create distance from the seduction of crack cocaine and hard liquor ravaging his body.<\/p>\n

The right filmmaker came along when the Taylor-Johnsons came knocking. Sam and Aaron Taylor-Johnson had been an inseparable couple since she cast him in her directorial debut, 2009\u2019s Nowhere Boy<\/em>, as a young John Lennon. They liked the idea of pulling something more modest together, after the miserable time Sam had directing the first Fifty Shades of Grey\u00a0<\/em>movie. She\u2019d been expecting to make a trilogy out of E.L. James\u2019s erotic fiction series, but even though her first chapter grossed $571 million, she withdrew. Speculation was that the unprecedented level of creative control Universal offered James, a first-time novelist, in order to beat out the offers pouring in from other studios, caused issues.<\/p>\n

Sam had been captivated by Frey\u2019s memoir since she read it shortly after its publication, when she was known for her eye as a still photographer, and before she ever made her feature debut. \u201cI loved the way it was told,\u201d she remembers. \u201c90 miles an hour is a good way to describe the ferocity and pace of his writing. I remember feeling exhausted and elated at the end, thinking it would make an amazing movie. Later, I\u2019d hear or read that some other filmmaker signed on and I\u2019d feel a twinge of jealousy.\u201d<\/p>\n

After they met, she gave it to Aaron, who devoured it. He says: \u201cThe journey of redemption, the light at the end of the tunnel, and the rhythm James put into his writing which provides such energy, it made us want to try and translate that into a character on screen.\u201d<\/p>\n
