Elizabeth Olsen, Carrie Coon & Natasha Lyonne Talk Acting!

up hi hello oh my God I love your sofa it's so sheit yes it we we bring it with us yeah it takes three people to carry it yeah you all look absolutely incredible it's like looking at three icons sitting in front of me right now you dressed up yourself thank you well it is a Saturday night so I am going out after this but anyway listen you are all so amazing in this but the first thing that struck me about this film was the amount of dialogue it's almost like a play I mean was that a bit scary I I mean it was I think the thing that made me most excited from from just first jump like when you when we were I was reading the script to know that I was just reading Katie for a page and a half without a break I actually I was I felt liberated by getting to have that much language to play with and um it was his he was so clear with what he wanted by using that kind of language and so much of it and he also was so clear on the page of how he was planning on shooting it and um and it was uh I feel like it was it was a gift I'm not I I like that yeah I love a play I was way into it it felt like a play and I love plays yeah and I was uh well scared of the play uh I I once passed on Glen Gary Glenn Ross and I just sh I thought I well maybe I could remake the movie instead um but um it was very exciting that it forced a challenge you know what I mean I think it's like they always say or whatever um or most famously David Bowie on uh Instagram memes and clips uh you know like always be a little out of your depth and that's how you know you're doing something like you kind of want to jump off the cliff uh in the Arts and um it felt like this was a very safe place to do that so but yeah full of fear pretty much all the time and this is why your icons that's very inspiring because see if I was you guys and I was as successful as you I just wouldn't bother I would just pick the easy jobs and listen um what was interesting about this was in comparison to some of the other work that you guys have done obviously there's big budgets there's costumes or CGI and all this this is so stripped back I think you're mostly a Lizzy in this moment but but we hear you yeah yeah we're here for well no I mean you both of you I think get to there are these uh you create iconic images and characters that represent like an entire show by just something that you've chosen to put on your body or how you make your hair whatever it is and your character and your personality like these World building sort of people and you create them and then Carrie jumps and morphs in between like any type of period piece or present day what like the nest and and there always morphing and you're always like how does her face look different in every movie that she makes and so I do I do think there is something to that what you're saying um and uh and for us all to be able to kind of strip back in a different way uh I think and this was an opportunity for all of us I think that it was important for you with the haircut like every we like talked about like how we to do it together like um yeah I guess though like at least in these uh it's it's interesting that so much of our world though has become this idea of like you know a a set extension that we'll get to later or you know like a CGI this or kind of like you know look at the X it's a lot of look at the X on the mat box you know and uh I I'm guessing maybe in a way that that's part of what you mean too is uh um how different it is to actually be able to just really talk to the people that you're talking and shoot it on film and stuff like which was for us because we've all done those kinds of things as you're saying it's it's extraordinary I mean you just realize what happened like that was kind of the gig that I think we probably all signed up for and then it gets so sidetracked in the you know mhm I definitely yeah that was the gig we all signed up for and we're like oh but we got to you know balance it so that it all continues to build with opportunities yes because also as a professional it's like you don't uh probably we all have have had this experience too which is like you never want to sort of like slow down the process by really questioning uh like hey might it be better if we actually spoke to the real person instead of looking at the X in the mat box so you just kind of go for it because you want to be you know like a a Val dictorian sort of like an A+ student and but inside you're sort of dying a little because you know that it's not it's not really right you know what I mean like you're not so I think that it was extraordinary in that sense to kind of get back to basics and be grateful for how rare uh too rare it's now we can yeah well it was extraordinary for me to watch it I just felt like I was watching an acting Master Class like it was so raw and so incredible your performances oh my goodness you're all so amazing in this like thank you thank you so much for this film it's great to see three female leads as well yes yeah thank you thank you thanks for uh interviewing us about it yeah have a great night take care [Music]
