Everyone’s talking about Whiplash, the opening night film of the 2014 Sundance Film Festival starring Miles Teller as an obsessed jazz drummer and J.K. Simmons as the abusive teacher who just might inspire him to greatness. Now, we get to talk about Whiplash with Miles Teller himself, and co-star Paul Reiser who plays Teller’s deeply concerned father in Damien Chazelle’s acclaimed new film.
William Bibbiani shoved Miles Teller and Paul Reiser into the corner of the Acura Skylodge in Park City, UT to find out what it’s like to hear actual buzz about your film on the streets, not just from agents, how Teller learned to play jazz drums in a very short amount of time and still look like an expert, and in the end, who Miles Teller and Paul Reiser think is the greatest drummer of all time.
