After cutting his teeth in British television, Julian Farino went on to make quite a name for himself in American television – notably working as a producer and director on HBO’s Entourage and How to Make It in America. Farino returns to the big screen for the first time since 1999′s The Last Yellow with The Oranges – a comedy drama set during the Christmas period which follows two neighbouring families who end up getting a little bit too close for comfort. We sat down with Julian to discuss his new movie and the fantastic cast that he managed to attract.

The Oranges stars Leighton Meester, Hugh Laurie, Alia Shawkat, Catherine Keener, Allison Janney, Adam Brody and Oliver Platt and is released this Friday 7th December.

After hanging up his cane in the finale of the hit series House earlier this year, Hugh Laurie has decided to focus on his film career and first up is the indie comedy-drama The Oranges, in which Laurie stars as a man who starts a relationship with his close friend and neighbour’s much younger daughter (Leighton Meester). Of course, comedy and drama inevitably ensue.

The film is directed by Julian Farino and though this will only be his second feature film after The Last Yellow in 1999, he has had plenty of experience in TV, having directed a number of episodes of Entourage.

The same smart comedy that we saw so prevalently in the aforementioned HBO’s hit show seems to be working in full force here, as the film truly looks like a real gem, full of charm, humor and a bit of indie quirk.
