On The Basis Of Sex Writer Interview: Daniel Stiepleman
20On The Basis Of Sex Writer Interview: Daniel Stiepleman
On the Basis of Sex tells the story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's earlier years at Harvard Law School through to a groundbreaking tax case that ultimately overturned a century of gender discrimination. The start of her career is certainly in the spotlight here, but so is the importance of family. It's something that runs through the veins of this entire story, highlighting the extremely loving and supportive relationship shared by Ginsburg and her husband Martin (Armie Hammer). The success of that portion of the film really comes as no surprise because, who better to write a screenplay about such a beautiful marriage than Ruth and Marty's nephew, Daniel Stiepleman?
With On the Basis of Sex hitting select theaters on December 25th, I got the chance to chat with Stiepleman about getting his aunt's blessing to write the screenplay and then what it was like bringing that story to screen. Check out what he told me about that, deciding to keep the film focused on just one case, the importance of putting the spotlight on Marty and Ruth's marriage, Cailee Spaeny's performance as their daughter Jane, and one very important thing he walked away from this production with on his mind. You can catch all of that in this video interview.
