From IGN: September 15, 2005 - Actor Liev Schreiber, probably best known for his roles in the Scream trilogy and The Manchurian Candidate, makes his screenwriting and directorial debut with Everything is Illuminated, a film based on author Jonathan Safran Foer’s semi-autobiographical/semi-fictionalized account of his journey to Ukraine to investigate the history of his holocaust survivor grandfather. Elijah Wood stars in this offbeat mixture of comedy and drama as Jonathan, an American who hires native Ukrainians Alex (Eugene Hutz) and Alex’s Grandfather (Boris Leskin) to be his guides on his trip, ultimately leading to many realizations and changes for all three men. Schreiber, Wood and Hutz all took part in the recent press day for Everything is Illuminated and IGN FilmForce was there. [More]
