La place du scénariste dans le cinéma d'auteur. Interview Archive: Jeff Nathanson talks CATCH ME IF YOU CAN - Screenwriter's Utopia. Jeff Nathanson is shy. When he comes into an interview, he leans all the way back to put as much distance as possible between himself and the interview. He also prefaces each response with a deep breath. Perhaps the critical lashing he took from Speed 2 made him cautious. Even the successful Rush Hour 2 was no critics’ darling. However, Nathanson has reason to be proud now as Catch Me If You Can lingered at the top of the holiday box office and earned various award nominations. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Frank Abagnale, a real life con artist who traveled the world, forged checks and impersonated pilots, doctors and lawyers. Why do audiences love con artists? At what stage did you get involved with the project? How did you decide the story should essentially be about Frank’s family? Was that a way to make an audience sympathize with a criminal character?
