Every room has its quirk. This one played out funky (aka, I was in the shot).

It's a bit odd, but I like it. Seeing your body language and facial expressions adds to the nuance of the conversation.

I've probably seen 300 of your inteviews, this was a fu**ing shock man ahahahha

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

In the next interview, Jessica will be questioning David

I love Denis! Although I haven't seen the new Blade Runner yet. Arrival and Sicario, two of my all time favorites!

Melissa M I’m so upset that she’s not gonna be in Xavier Dolan’s movie anymore 😢

I like her maturity

Abdul Mustabeen how much more transparent can you get? she straight out disrespected them. she doesnt want to be judged but she judges? get off your high horse.

It would be like interview the real Emily of the big sick~

hahahahhaha

michael ansbro i know right! They said girl 28 and i looked it up and i got very diffrent results

Huh? Kind of a weird comment.

Johanna90 Then I’m confused (which happens a lot 😬) because I thought that was the entire basis of what that “pocket” comment meant. I thought they were talking about taste. Spielberg’s taste, or “pocket”, happens to be in the action sci-fi realm, and Scorsese’s pocket is in drama. And so I thought those directors tend to stay within those environments because that’s where they’re more comfortable. Just as I’m sure Jessica is more comfortable doing roles that would project her as a serious actor, which she is. And don’t get me wrong, I admire her work a great deal. She’s been in a handful of films that I love that’s solely because of her performance. But I would think, if you want to be challenged as an actor, or in any profession for that matter, it might be a good idea to take on roles that are outside of your comfort zone, like a slapstick comedy or some other role completely different than what you’ve been consistently doing. Anyway, sorry for the long ramble. Maybe I missed something in the dialogue, and for that I apologize.

Well you're certainly correct there. Good comedies ARE very hard to come by. And you're right, her performance in The Help was quite comedic, and I actually really loved that film. However that film wasn't considered a comedic film. And even though she was the comic relief, the role didn't seem too out of the box for her to say "yeah, this is definitely something very different from what I've done". But getting back to my point, I guess what I'm trying to get at is, I feel the reasons Jessica doesn't choose to do pure comedy films are the very same reasons the directors she loves does not: just as you said "It's tough, especially when comedy is not your "typical" style of genre". And that's ok! If Jessica is not comfortable in pure comedy roles, or a family kids movie, or a tv sitcom, whatever it may be, then I wouldn't want her to. But I think that also applies to the directors as well. We all have our own tastes, and that's ok. And, on a somewhat related subject, have you seen the trailer for Game Night? It looks hilarious, and one of the main characters is Rachel McAdams, who I think is a very versatile actor, and she just looks very funny and authentic in this film, albeit from a trailer. I would love love love to see Jessica do a film like this, just as she would like to see more directors get out of their comfort zone.

You're talking about two very different things, though. When she says more filmmakers should expand their "pocket", she means they should consider telling stories about different demographics so as to allow for a greater variety of stories and perspectives. When A-list directors only make films about people who look exactly like them and are from the same background, that limits the opportunities for minority artists and prevents minority audiences from seeing themselves represented on screen. She's talking about expanding pockets in a way that has a direct effect on how we produce and consume content as a society, and on whose voices get to be heard; making more comedies or more family films doesn't have that kind of real-life impact, and is a completely different topic. But to answer your question: Chastain is producing a comedy film that she'll star in with Octavia Spencer. She came up with the story, she pitched it to Universal, she hired a writer and a director, and she'll fund it through her own production company. She's also developing an spy action adventure that she'll act in with Marion Cotillard, Lupita Nyong'o and Penelope Cruz. She asked all of them to be her co-stars, hired a writer and pitched it to studios to kickstart a James Bond-type franchise. And she's also producing an action movie called Eve, which is filming right now. So there you go, she's expanding her pocket and actively getting versatile projects off the ground through her own production company.

Sorry you feel that way. Would never think about condescending to Jessica, of all people. But what you sensed may have been me being extra careful because I knew I was on the edge of pissing her off. This is all very sensitive territory and I knew from before the shoot that we disagree on where the line is drawn on some of this stuff.

@@dp30 what would you piss her off about?

To be clear, I didn't say that Quentin was brave, full stop. There was context and you've removed it from that context. As for agents, they need to do the job the way it needs to be done. Are you suggesting that an actress should accept being represented as less valuable by their professional representative? Your "disgust" is why people are afraid to discuss these issues. There needs to be a safe space for the conversation and all opinions. I respect Jessica enormously. This was not our first discussion on these issues. And my work is to create the space for her to be free to speak. I think she did that quite forcefully, smartly, and clearly.

You think Meryl Streep didn't know ? ha! then you are a moron! All of them knew! Men and women. Tarantino had the decency to admit he knew some things but not all. Much braver than lying to everybody. This automatic vilification of all men just because they are men will not solve anything.

Oh no, I've got the context. You said he was brave for his confession of knowing the extent of Weinstein's actions...decades later when his career would no longer suffer because of it. Over 50 women came out with allegations, and there are probably 100 more. How many souls could have been spared had he been "brave" when the time called for it. Also, why does the burden only fall on actresses to risk their career (and even their lives)? Why is not expected for an agent to behave professionally and morally? That question reminds me of situations involving domestic violence, where people continue to ask "Why didn't you just leave?", rather than "why is violence perpetrated by men such a widespread epidemic in this society? What overall systems allow this to continue? How have I been complicit in this and what can I do to help abolish these abuses?" Condemning women for "just talking" without "doing something" - CALLING OUT YOUR ABUSER IS DOING SOMETHING. Something incredibly scary and powerful at that. My point is, based on YOUR COMMENTARY, you're questioning the victims and not the systems. If you wanna take it there and talk social justice in your interviews and spout your controversial opinions, you will get backlash from people who know a lot more than you. Safe space my ass, you constantly interrupted her with your mansplaining and it was clear you weren't listening to her responses, instead waiting for a pause to insert your own opinion. No i will not create a "safe space" for someone who wants to defend rape apologist and exclusive filmmaking.

You mean she sticks up for herself and doesn’t allow men to abuse her? That is some Kool-Aid. Hope you aren’t raising a girl.

You are clearly a man writing this. . .and please, come up with a better fake girl. Mae than Suzie K. At least you didn’t call yourself Suzie Q, but I bet you were close to doing it.

Nah.
