NEW ‘BYZANTIUM’ AND ‘HOW TO CATCH A MONSTER’ INTERVIEW
BYZANTIUM, director Neil Jordan’s new investigation into vampirism that has its U.S. premiere tonight at the Tribeca Film Festival, marks the first horror role for the gifted young actress Saoirse Ronan. Read on for a few words with her about that movie and her upcoming fantasy/thriller HOW TO CATCH A MONSTER.
Gemma’s just great. I did pretty much everything in BYZANTIUM with her, and we just had a laugh, really, and got on very well from the start. We have great scenes together. There are times between Eleanor and Clara where it’s quite tender, very much a mother/daughter relationship. But then there are others where it’s more sisterly, and they’re like cats at each other; they’re a bit bitchier. So it was lovely to get to do those kinds of things with Gemma, and she’s such a terrific actress. It was also nice, actually, to see her play a mother, because she’s only 27 but very much a woman, so she’s quite maternal, and certainly was with me!
