ComingSoon's Jonathan Sim sat down with actors Maya Hawke and Rupert Friend to discuss their new film, Asteroid City.
Jonathan Sim: This is a film that you guys worked on with Wes Anderson, and I wanted to ask, what is it about Wes Anderson’s directorial style that made you want to work with him and what separates him from other directors that you’ve worked with?: Well, he’s one of the few kind of true auteurs I think we have currently working in as much as he envisions the whole thing but also wrote it. And he writes beautifully. So his scripts start out as an incredibly enticing prospect.
: I mean, I don’t know if I could say there was one. I think the whole experience is just holistically incredibly rewarding, you know, to be with this group of people, making this particular film during a very difficult time for everyone and trying to find some meaning in quarantine. And the film has some elements of quarantine about it, but not in a depressing way, in a very uplifting way.: I think [Rupert was] still there, but I ended up staying till the very last day of shooting.
Asteroid City is this interesting cosmic movie that deals with things like aliens and stuff like that. So if an alien ever actually arrived on Earth, which movie or show of yours would you wanna show the alien to paint everything about you in the best possible light?: Well, I definitely feel like if I wanted an alien to paint me in the best possible light, I wouldn’t show them any of my work.
And so is there any particular performance that you guys have given in your careers that you feel maybe went under the radar that you would want a lot of people to kind of check out if they haven’t already?Gotcha. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Got it.: To be honest, I don’t even know what went under or over what radar, so I don’t follow my own career that closely. Jonathan Sim is a film critic and filmmaker born and raised in New York City.
