Ashton will ‘always love’ Demi’s girls

The inspiration for this storytelling approach has been one Sweden-born Weidemann has wanted to follow for decades.

“It’s an old idea that I’ve been carrying around for at least 20 years,” he said. It began when “I was traveling around the world and I ended up in this FilipinoFrench family’s house.”

The man who lived there was divorced, and his wife was gone. Weidemann was told not to go into one specific room, “but of course because I was 20, I went into that room and I found a shoebox.” The shoebox was stuffed with mementos such as love letters, divorce papers and several recordings of phone calls between the husband and wife.

Weidemann was inspired. He believed the items represented an unusual way to tell a story, taking moments from different points in time and representing different perspectives, and telling it that way instead of through the beginning-to-end approach. He had hoped to use this to write a novel, which he never created.

Then came streaming shows where whole seasons get presented to viewers all at once.

Weidemann believed a series on a streaming service would allow him to tell a story in the way he envisioned. He then met Mankiewicz, who worked on shows such as “Bosch” for Amazon Prime and “House of Cards” on Netflix. The two spent years developing the show and sold it to CBS.

In the series, Kyle Gallner plays Fisher, who spends decades trying to prove his innocence. “It was kind of a unique shooting experience, because [much of his story] is told from 10 different people’s point of views,” he told The News.

Fisher appears in every episode, but the character shifts and changes depending on how people remember him. And not all of them present him as innocent.

“I think everyone has their own point of view about how they feel about the guy,” said Gallner, 33.

“Today, the question of what is the truth is more important than ever,” Weidermann said. “What is truth? Is it just a matter of perspective?”

Ashton Kutcher has a soft spot for his former stepdaughters.

The former “That’ ’70s Show” star sounded off Monday on his relationship with 31-year-old Rumer, 28-year-old Scout and 26-year-old Tallulah Willis — the daughters of his ex-wife Demi Moore and her second husband, Bruce Willis.

“I make a really conscious effort to stay in touch with the girls,” Kutcher, 41, told Marc Maron on his “WTF” podcast, though he added he and 57-year-old Moore are “all good” but “don’t hang out.”

Kutcher, who has been married to Mila Kunis since 2015, was married to Moore for eight years before their 2013 divorce.

“I mean I was helping raise teenage girls through their adolescence,” Kutcher explained, noting that Tallulah was only 8 or 9 years old when the relationship started and graduating high school by the end of the marriage.

“I love them,” he said. “And I’m never going to stop loving them and respecting them and honoring them and rooting for them to be successful in whatever they’re pursuing.

“But at the same time, I’m not their father. I was never trying to be their father,” Kutcher said, pointing to his “respect” for Bruce Willis. “If they don’t want an engagement with me, I’m not going to force it upon them. But they all do. It’s great.”
