Smart People: On screen and on campus

The Tartan Online: "On Friday, the yet-to-be-released film Smart People was shown to journalists and other media outlets at a private screening in New York. The production company, Miramax, invited Carnegie Mellon to the event — and so I boarded a plane to New York City with little direction and a lot of apprehension. True, Friday was only the screening; but on Saturday, I was to meet and interview director Noam Murro, screenwriter Mark Poirier, and actors Dennis Quaid, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Thomas Haden Church."

I guess I need to see the film, but to me the places they filmed at seemed to be kind of bland, I would have thought a older campus would be more approprate. Its a little wierd that the movie tone was influenced by the difference in social structure of pitt and cmu students, I'm not sure what kind of effect that would have on the script. This article also seems to be out of date as they refer to Ellen Page as being a "future star"
