Hamnet

They are releasing Fairytale in New York on Friday the 13th of November.

I knew Jessie Buckley was an incredibly talented lady winning an Oscar for her role in Hamlet.

I did not realise she could also sing.

Yeah, me neither.

Not at all.

She was on the West End at one stage.

She was in Cabaret on the West End before she had done Hamnet.

And she was incredible on that album as well.

Show's bold.

Hamnet is known for its action.

I need to get closer to team.

Keep the curse busy.

I have been watching a lot of films recently.

Like I watched Hamnet again and I've been revisiting some older films that I like.

That's not true.

I actually watched Dracula.

And I just don't like that trope when it's done lazily.

I'm also going to curse another movie from the other angle, movie Hamnet, which, again, it's a movie about...

Good point.

It's about...

So maybe I am on the ball with it, but I also want to bring up that.

My reason for, for keeping Chloe Zhao in for Hamnet at the very last minute for director was the fact that when we, you know, when we look at our lead actress winners from best picture nominees, 2000, let me, let me say that 2000, everyone to last year, only two lead actress winners were, from you know best picture nominees miss get missed out on a director nomination for their director they were the blind side for sandra bullock and three billboards for francis mcdormand

francis

mcdormand and blindside was never getting in for director just because even the producers knew they're like there's no way we're getting a best picture nomination oh crap we got in um and john lee hancock was never really considered like a top 10 director at the time.

And so it is that, you kind of have to say like, this is not my film, but I had my films.

I think what's harder for me is when I love something, like I loved Hamnet.

um loved it and i also understood that people did not love it and so it was harder for me it was when like people were trashing it as torture porn and i was like a grief porn and i was like it's a beautiful film and i think it was hard for me yeah so it's just hard to like separate like so i feel like all i can do is advocate for the films that i love And also what I feel like our role is, is at the start of the season, and this is gonna sort of be a good segue into your next question.

At the very beginning of the season, I saw Train Dreams and I was like, this is it, I love it.

I know.

Scary.

And I just said that I thanked him for advocating to have Chloe Zhao direct Hamnet because he had he had the rights and he had option them.

And he had supported Chloe in an advocate for having Chloe direct it.
