After a pretty quiet year in terms of Meryl news, it seems she's all of a sudden in everything. She joined Stephen Colbert on The Late Show to talk about, among other things, her upcoming film by director Adam McKay, Don't Look Up.
Filming has been underway in Boston for a couple weeks at this point. Sort of a strange way to have to go about it the way Meryl describes the process here.
I acquired access to the film's script, but at this point have only skimmed certain parts. I'll probably get around to it and provide a few thoughts on what I think the movie will look like (no spoilers) and what we might be able to expect from Meryl's performance/character. And of course, awards chances.
Until then, I cannot wait to have two consecutive nights of new Meryl movies starting in two days!
I hope LTAT is terrific and is awards worthy.
ReplyDeleteIt's getting good reviews. I keep forgetting that this will be such a weird awards season, with everything basically pushed back two months. Normally at this time we're getting Globe and SAG noms already. A lot can change in regard to film and performance reception, how narratives are shaped, how actors and studios campaign. It'll be fun to see it all play out.
DeleteWhat a great description of how to construct a scene... decide on the outcome and make the characters go get it!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that cool?! When I think about it, it's seems terrifying to me, and I expect the actors were as well. But I'm sure that's what comes from years of experience. I can't wait for this one.
