In adapting “White Noise,” filmmaker Noah Baumbach often felt like a “translator,” reaching into Don DeLillo’s epochal novel and pulling out as many elements of its expansive plot as possible while also finding “cinematic equivalents” for its distinctly postmodern style. In conversation with actress Emily Mortimer this past Saturday during the 60th New York Film Festival, which had opened with “White Noise” the night before, Baumbach discussed the challenges of doing so, also touching upon his experiences working with younger actors and getting screenwriting advice from the Coens.

Noah Baumbach’s White Noise kicked off the 60thNew York Film Festival Friday night with a heartfelt paean by the writer/director to an event that he said shaped his love of movies and his career path.

Antonio Ferme editor Long before “Marriage Story” writer-director Noah Baumbach was attached to Netflix’s “White Noise,” several filmmakers mounted attempts to adapt the notoriously “unfilmable” novel of the same name written by Don DeLillo. Variety reported in 2004 that “The Addams Family” director Barry Sonnenfeld was on board to direct the film, known as his “longtime passion project.” The torch was then handed off to Michael Almereyda, best known for his 2000 film “Hamlet” starring Ethan Hawke, after Uri Singer acquired the rights to DeLillo’s novel. Baumbach’s “White Noise” served as the opening night screening for the 60th annual New York Film Festival on Friday, making its North American debut after a divisive premiere at the Venice Film Festival. The director told Variety on the red carpet that he didn’t give a second thought to the idea that his film’s source material was unadaptable.
