On Philadelphia: “I hate to bring up Rocky,” says Dayton. “It's a little bit like people asking us how we work together, being married. But what was funny to me today is how small the steps are where he does his famous run. But I realized that works well, because he's actually much smaller in real life. So the scale served him well.”
“When you fly in you get this aerial view of the city,” says Faris, “and it still was like a half an hour before landing, and there was just so much farmland. It's really beautiful. Our geography is terrible, but what was interesting was seeing how the rivers are a really big part of this city. I would never have thought of Philadelphia as having so much water.”
Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton's film Little Miss Sunshine opens Aug. 4 in Philadelphia.
