At the end of an evening with friends, actor Bill Nighy and novelist Kazuo Ishiguro decided to share a taxi home, a simple yet fateful decision which in time led to the new movie “Living.”
“I kind of said almost spontaneously, ‘Oh, Bill, I know this fantastic role for you that will win you all these awards,’” says Ishiguro, the 2017 Nobel laureate in literature, whose novels include “Klara and the Sun,” “Never Let Me Go,” and “The Remains of the Day.”
“And my wife, Lorna, said immediately, ‘Stop bothering, Bill; he’s got plenty of work,’” he says, laughing.
