Quick Quote: Why U.K. director Rupert Goold cast Jonah Hill

PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — "We had James (Franco) first up, and I found it difficult to cast the other role I actually have to admit...I just needed someone who was inherently sympathetic and who would deliver a kind of soulfulness and vulnerability and I think, for all his kind of high velocity kind of comedy, I think there is something in Jonah that is quite...he's very good at playing a damaged quality...
