Julian Fellowes

Separate Lies

Interviewed by Adrian Hennigan

Rupert Everett is wild! I think he's capable of anything

Julian Fellowes was a late developer in the film world. The 56-year-old had enjoyed a steady career as an actor before his script for Robert Altman's Gosford Park brought him Oscar glory and a slew of opportunities. As well as writing an adaptation of Vanity Fair for Reese Witherspoon, he's fronted his own TV show and is now making his debut as a director in the accomplished drama Separate Lies, in which Tom Wilkinson, Emily Watson and Rupert Everett deal with a fatal accident which has repercussions for all of them.
