Felicity Jones and Anton Yelchin in "Like Crazy"

But he took a real gamble on 27-year-old Felicity Jones, casting the actress after having only seen an audition tape filmed in her London flat. He said it was a risk well worth the return.
As part of our Fall Movie Preview, Doremus spoke with MTV News about the autobiographical nature of his tender drama, taking a chance on Jones and all those comparisons to "Blue Valentine."

MTV: This is such a heart-wrenching love story. Is it autobiographical in any way? What was your inspiration?
Drake Doremus: I think, trying to make a genuine love story, it would be silly not to try to dig deep and find pieces of yourself and put them in the film. So there's a lot of emotional truth in the film that I've gone through and relationship elements, for sure. It's a very personal love story.
MTV: Felicity Jones is already gaining a lot of buzz for her performance. It seems like she kind of came out of nowhere. How did you cast her?
Doremus: Felicity sent me a tape from London. I had seen about 50 girls in Los Angeles. I'd brought a few of them in with Anton and did the chemistry read, and I was not quite feeling it yet. She sent a tape of herself in her flat in London. She just embodied everything that was this character. I immediately called her and told her to come. It was a total gut call. I had never even seen her with Anton, and I didn't even know if they'd have chemistry, but something in my gut told me we had to cast Felicity Jones and that she was the right person for this. And man, oh man, that's probably one of the best decisions I've ever made in my career.
MTV: Were you surprised by the actors' intense chemistry given that they hadn't tested together?
Doremus: Yeah, I was shocked. I mean, it's a tribute to how game they were to go down this path and go down this journey. At the first rehearsal session, I asked them very specifically, "You have to understand what kind of a journey we're going on here. We're going to live this thing. We're going to breathe it, and it's going to come from the inside out. You're going to have a four-week love affair. Are you guys game to do this?" They were 100 percent game.
MTV: You improvised a lot of scenes in this film. Is that a process that was specific to this project, or a method you prefer?
Doremus: It's a formula I've been developing for the last couple of years that I'm continuing to fine-tune and use. It's essentially just a form of writing the characters, the backstory and the emotional arc and where we're going. The actors are always encouraged to do and say whatever they feel and let things happen sort of organically.
MTV: Does this approach leave you with a lot more footage to work with than if you'd strictly stuck to a script?
Doremus: Absolutely. It's crazy, actually. We could have cut four, five completely different versions of this movie. It would have been the same story but how we got to the end point would have been very different. You give yourself options, and the editing process becomes the third leg of the writing stool.
MTV: Many critics have been calling "Like Crazy" this year's "Blue Valentine." What do you make of those comparisons?
Doremus: Well, first of all, it's an honor. I think that's a very beautiful film. But I think they're very different. You know, I think this film is a much more romantic, innocent and hopeful and optimistic look at love.
Check out everything we've got on "Like Crazy."

Photo: Todd Williamson/ WireImageAfter tabloid reports surfaced claiming that and were splitting after 13 years of marriage, the A-list actor's son Trey took to Twitter to let the world know the rumors are not true.
"Did #WillandJada split? No they did NOT split ! False information ..its not true RETWEET!!!" Will's 18-year-old son from a previous relationship wrote on Tuesday afternoon (August 23), as the rumor continued to pick up steam across the Internet with no official comment yet from either Will or Jada's camps.
He continued, "Will and Jada getting a DIVORCE ..NOT TRUE AT ALL !! RETWEET. Everyone can think what they want ..even if its not true #Lame."
The couple, who married on New Year's Eve in 1997, in Baltimore, have two now-famous children together, Willow , 10, and Jaden, 13.
MTV News reached out for comment later this afternoon, and the couple responded in a joint statement. "Although we are reluctant to respond to these types of press reports, the rumors circulating about our relationship are completely false. We are still together, and our marriage is intact," the pair said.
Jada's rep also recently shut down talk that the actress had an affair with her "Hawthorne" co-star Marc Anthony, who has split from wife Jennifer Lopez. "All the rumors regarding Marc Anthony and Jada are false. Completely untrue," the rep told People.com.
