If you're an indie film watcher, you already know Greta Gerwig. But that's about to change. What that means isβ¦she's right on the verge of being a mainstream star.
Anyhow, I recently got to do an extended interview with Gerwig and we talked about all three of her upcoming projects.
If you've been waiting like me for Whit Stillman to finally make another movie, the great news is she thinks Stillman might not stop with Damsels in Distress. In addition to spending way too much time talking about Stillman, Gerwig talks about her love of Elizabeth Meriwether and Ivan Reitman, making No Strings Attached , what making Arthur was really like, and so much more.
Hit the jump to either watch, read or listen to the interview:. While I did the interview on camera, I'm offering a few ways to get the interview. When we can, we're going to offer interviews in as many forms as possible as we know each of our readers prefers a different format. Greta Gerwig: Well, we're still at the Four Seasons, so it feels pretty fancy still to me.
These are nice suites. So what's it been like for you? Obviously you've made a transition from sort of, I would say, more indie fare into what we call the Hollywood, big budget productions. Gerwig: Haha. It's been amazing. I feel like what's great about it, is it's been⦠it's felt like these are things that I want to do anyway. I love the woman who wrote this movie. I was gonna say girl, but I should say woman, that's more respectful. Gerwig: But she, Elizabeth Meriwether, is a really amazing writer and I always loved her writing.
