Ohmygosh!!! That would be amazing. Please share every single detail!!!! Do not leave anything out!

I went to see the movie The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby the night it opened. I missed the Q and A screening beforehand, but after the movie I headed to the bathroom and there on the bench was, James McAvoy. I introduced myself, and he could not have been more genuinely interested in the fact that I was an actor. He talked to me about method acting for awhile, and then in came Jessica Chastain, one of my biggest inspirations. She talked with me too for awhile, and was so incredibly kind and then proceeded to tell me, "I hope we work together one day."

That's a lovely story!

oh my god, you are so lucky to meet both of them after such an incredible film. i feel so happy for you!! when that day comes remind her of the day you met for the first time

lie

I know, right? I watch movies she's in just to stare at her.

HeyItsMike atota

Totally

Do you like Jessica Chastain or no?

+Weldon Thatcher I love Jessica Chastain.

Me too - I was lucky enough to see her on stage in London - amazing. Just amazing.

Yes, that was my perspective too

I will agree that Holly is highly intelligent and a passionate communicator, but her analysis of a character she experienced through both Jessica's performance and the editorial decisions of the film makers has little to do with Jessica's analysis of a character she experienced from a script. In the simplest case, Jessica is privy to all the scenes that were cut and/or iterated upon which will implicitly deviate her perception of the character from any viewer's. There is no need to create a hierarchy between subjective truths. They are both amazing.

lol Holly Hunter is the definition of overrated and pretentious

David Adams So you're telling that she knows more about the character just from watching a movie than Jessica, who spent months studying the script, working with the guy who wrote the script and analyzing/interviewing the actual person that she's playing? The word that describe your state is 'delusional'. She's past her prime (if she ever was in her prime), wrinkly and a so-so actress. Nothing special really, so I guess her fans have to do what they can to make her seem special and one of a kind.

War Lord At least Holly can articulate Jessica's character better, and that comes from age and experience.

There's a podcast called "The Director's Cut" that's that exact thing! I found out about it because Nolan & Edgar Wright did one together... IT WAS INSANE

There’s an older interview with Francis Ford Coppola interviewing Martin Scorsese... it’s tremendous

They say she's difficult. I bet its true. She's a Queen.

I love Jessica Chastain, but the second half of the interview is by far the most interesting part. Holly Hunter is amazing.

Aslı thank you! Was trying to place her voice haha

Hahhaha you’re welcome

Aslı oh wow I’ve never made the connection!

eileen Vandernoot Yes!!

Yesss. She's so powerfull

MelloZappa when did she get so badass?

Rohit Kumar A redhead has a crush on me.

Ed Memory oh boy don't let her go 😀

Hahaha my thoughts exactly, she's like Anne Hathaway in that regard
