Bill Murray Hearts Cinematographer Christopher Doyle

“He’s Irish, but he’s from Australia and he lives in China. I talk about him all the time. The crazy Tourette’s guy. I worked with him on that movie I did with what’s-his-nuts… Jim Jarmusch. It was that one called… ‘The Limits of Control.’ The guy wears platform shoes when he’s working. He can’t talk for 16 seconds without going into a rant. He once told me this crazy story about living in Hong Kong, next to the world’s longest escalator. He’d strip naked in front of his window for everyone to see. But the thing was almost a mile long — the escalator — so by the time people got to the end of it they couldn’t remember what building he was in.” — Bill Murray is kind of obsessed with cinematographer Christopher Doyle. It was rumored that Doyle — who’s incidentally making a Japanese pinku musical — had a major falling out with Wong Kar-Wai after the making of “2046” in 2004 (their last collaboration together). Maybe now we know why? Also, how do we get on the set with this guy? He sounds like a lot of fun. Also. “What’s his nuts.” Amazing. [Blackbook]
