Posts about Edward James Olmos
Hello reddit. I am the writer / director / editor of the independent film Go For Sisters (http://goforsistersmovie.com/), opening this weekend in New York and then around the country. And Edward James Olmos (/u/EdwardJamesOlmos_)is one of the producers and one of the stars of the movie. He will be answering questions with me for the next hour or so.
This is my 18th feature. And probably the most well-known of the features that I have directed are Lone Star, Matewan, The Brother From Another Planet, Passion Fish, and my first movie, The Return of the Secaucus Seven.
Ask away!

edit: Edward has to leave but I will be taking more questions. Edward says Los Quiero Mucho.
Update- John Sayles has left the building--- but Edward Olmos will be back in an hour or so, so keep the questions coming. And tell your posse to check out Go For Sisters.
Update 2 (4:53pm EST) - Edward James Olmos had so much fun he's come back for a bit to answer a few more questions- fire away for the next few minutes and he'll get to as many as he can!
Last update- ok, Edward has some questions and will be back with answers shortly. Thanks everyone!
" [...]OLMOS could have been sitting on the bridge of a different spaceship. "When they remade 'Star Trek' in the 1980s they called me about the lead," Olmos said, referring to the Enterprise command that went to Patrick Stewart. "I wasn't interested. Science fiction wasn't really where I wanted to be, not since 'Blade Runner.' " "
