I love that Weaver is so defensive about the difference between animation and motion capture. Those actors poured their souls into those characters and she wants him to acknowledge that
yeah she's right to correct him. The post processing of motion capture is little different from an actor putting on makeup, except it's digital make up. No one thinks the acting is anything less due to make up/prosthetics/costumes in some cases it's even more of a testament to the actor to endure or utilize such things, and the fact they can reposition camera vantage point is the same thing as just taking different angles of the action on multiple takes.
Yes, they’re the souls of their Avatar characters. It would take a lot more time and difficulty if it was animation, and the movements and acting wouldn’t look as realistic.
@@sandradb9151 Yeah, she's about the same age as my parents but looks decades younger. Though I suppose having access to nutritionists/trainers/higher-end cosmetics helps.
Elegance goes beyond fancy brands and jewelry. Sigourney Weaver is an icon of elegance. The way she speaks, how seriously she took the interview although Jimmy was clowning around, how well she elaborates her thoughts. A true lady!
She doesn't overemphasize or underestimate anything. Whatever she says is always the thing that should be said, the most logical, etc without any pretension whatsoever.
@@mrblonde1264 I mean I haven’t seen it since I was like 7 or 8 but I can still picture it in my mind. Yes it was good to me, and scary because he was a psycho 😂
Sigourney Weaver has been my favorite actor for years! I’m in awe of her talent and her beauty. Even at 73 she still retains her true self and passion with not a sign of letting go of this industry. What a woman
See a female actress that we all know , love and appreciate because she was a great actress not because we are being forced to like her because of politics.
How old are you? You look like you are much younger than me. It is extremely refreshing to see that my favorite lady of the arts has a talent and charisma that transcends and wins over younger generations. As for me, I've loved Sigourney/Susan for most of my life (almost 40 years).
I love that she speaks about Weta Digital... and all these other interesting stories... strange interview, the audience is so quiet. Everyone respects Sigourney. As they should. As we all should. 😉
Remember The Frighteners? That was basically a commercial for Weta digital. They've come a long way. I can't even wrap my head around how they made this movie still.
Just went to see this with my dad earlier this evening. I've been finding a lot of films these days have been getting rather boring. But all I can say is, this film is one of the most beautiful, powerful and most heart piercing films I've seen! James Cameron has made a masterpiece at the end of which both me and my dad were in tears over.
She is fantastic in Avatar 2. Performance is up there with the top motion capture performers. She wont get much due but I sure as hell noticed the emotions she conveys.
I like Jimmy but this interview could have (and should have) been so much better. He seemed either unprepared or overwhelmed and it was wonderful Sigourney who tried to save the chat by giving smart and interesting answers to somewhat childish Jimmy's questions. She definitely deserved more.
For me Alien will always be a better film than Aliens, I love the Psychological aspect of the first film which the second film did not have at all it was more of a Action film which is all good, I like that both films are the same but also different but if I had to stay at a stranded island and take only one film with me and it between Alien and Aliens I would go for Alien without thinking twice about it.
@@BreezeDaDon I live in Toronto we got loads of old healthy people it's called being athletic and eating healthy when you pay to look young you can almost always tell because of the weird face look at Madonna Wendy Williams and so many more
She’s incredible and such a thoughtful articulate soul.I’ll never forget her performance in Gorillas In The Mist. Also appreciate her little shoutout for Weta, I was fortunate enough to have two talented tutors that worked/work for Weta and in particular the first Avatar film. We got to see some pretty incredible things from set and an all round understanding of how much time, diligence, patience and attention to detail goes into the process in its entirety…mind blowing.
There is something wonderfully authentic about Sigourney Weaver. Her, along with Jessica Lange, just have a real honest, genuine nature to their character. Maybe that hurt their careers as Streep gobbled up all of the good roles from the 90s onwards, but I really appreciate how they don't mess around and just speak openly whenever they're interviewed.
I watched this movie with my 14 year old daughter, and man Sigourney Weaver and the mocap animators at WETA absolutely captured the mannerisms and expressions of a feisty young teen, the combination of girlishness and attitude and complexity at that stage of life.
One of the best of all time… and consistently overlooked by Oscar… (last time: the good house, fantastic performance)… crazy! She should be honored by just doing all the stuff in avatar2!
Awesome you had Sigourney on Jimmy as she’s FANTASTIC. On another note - how the heck can you NOT have watched the Aliens movie? (+ all the other ones). Ok… movie night at my place. When we watch this with mates (and re-watch, and re-watch), we make Grasshopper cocktails (as we have a theme) and turn the lights green - we’re going to watch all the Alien movies back-to-back. Oh, and we’re in Australia - bring Sigourney.
Fr! Do you know if she voiced the character too? I noticed Kiri had a bit of a deeper/mature voice for her age that was the only thing I didn't like, but her acting was on point 100%
With Sigourney being the ultimate OG final girl and just seeing the beginnings of some sort of powers in the film, you can just tell in the next film or a few films down she's going to just be unleashed as some amazingly powerful character
I still love that she was the surprise actor on Cabin In the Woods at the end when she turned out to be the Director of the project that keeps the giants hidden and fed.
Jimmy wasn't prepared at all for this interview. He was just clowning around. Disappointed !! Whereas Weaver at 73 who had put up her soul and all efforts in this amazing movie, was making all the sense in her answers and telling the difference between amine and motion capture to Jimmy. True elegance. ✌🏻
I love that Weaver is so defensive about the difference between animation and motion capture. Those actors poured their souls into those characters and she wants him to acknowledge that

And this is why i love actresses the stature of sigourney weaver. I learn new things in every interview she gives.
Right? I loved that. And I love how she explained there’s much more to it with stunt people and VFX from Weta.
Yes, they’re the souls of their Avatar characters. It would take a lot more time and difficulty if it was animation, and the movements and acting wouldn’t look as realistic.
@My achilles heel congrats you are very smart!
Weaver is 73 and still pumpin out hit movies! Long live the Queen!
She killed the Queen. 😐
Amen!! She is phenomenal! Lover her👌
73? I thought she was younger than that..She looked stunning in that green suit!
@@sandradb9151 Yeah, she's about the same age as my parents but looks decades younger. Though I suppose having access to nutritionists/trainers/higher-end cosmetics helps.
She looks great for 73.
Ripley will always be one of my favourite movie characters. Love Sigourney

Definitely wasn't elegant to try and downplay the work vfx artists and stunt doubles did on this film
She doesn't overemphasize or underestimate anything. Whatever she says is always the thing that should be said, the most logical, etc without any pretension whatsoever.
@@josephpowell6926 Nah, she was emphasizing too much that she did most of the stunts which is kinda shameless.
This - class/character/elegance come from within - clothes may accentuate the man/woman, but they certainly don't "make" them.
I get the same vibe from Jamie Lee Curtis
Sigourney Weaver has always had a reverence about her. I find her striking and interesting. Love her! Such a legend💜
She always had that goddess energy
100%,true legend,I remember Alien 1 & 2 when I was a kid,can't believe she is still at the top of the game.
@@mrblonde1264 My first movie of hers was called Copycat. That movie scared me so much when I was little but her acting was so powerful and gripping
@@teammmx iv heard of that one but never seen it,was it good?
Alien scared me so bad back then lol
@@mrblonde1264 I mean I haven’t seen it since I was like 7 or 8 but I can still picture it in my mind. Yes it was good to me, and scary because he was a psycho 😂
Love Sigourney Weaver. A legend. I long for her to return to the role of Ripley one last time
Sigourney Weaver is one of my best actors ever. The 1st "Alien" was just amazing but the sequel "Aliens" is my favorite. She still looks gorgeous.
Sigourney Weaver has been my favorite actor for years! I’m in awe of her talent and her beauty. Even at 73 she still retains her true self and passion with not a sign of letting go of this industry. What a woman
Same. I hope she's still active for a long time.
See a female actress that we all know , love and appreciate because she was a great actress not because we are being forced to like her because of politics.
She was smoking 🔥

It felt like most of it was filmed during the audience-free days.
My hope is that they were hanging on her every word, as they should
Shout out to Weta Digital was indeed very considerate of her.

All hail the queen of sci-fi films, long may she reign!!!!
She is fantastic in Avatar 2. Performance is up there with the top motion capture performers. She wont get much due but I sure as hell noticed the emotions she conveys.
She is a rare diamond in Cinema history.
i love sigourney I grew up watching the Alien and Ghostbusters movies. She has also made other great films and is a power woman and film legend.
I fancied her since then
Saw ALIEN in the theater; by by far scariest movie of my youth.
I like Jimmy but this interview could have (and should have) been so much better. He seemed either unprepared or overwhelmed and it was wonderful Sigourney who tried to save the chat by giving smart and interesting answers to somewhat childish Jimmy's questions. She definitely deserved more.
Alien 1979 with Sigourney is a masterpiece.
Most people think of it as sci-fi, but I consider it Gothic horror in space. An absolute, uncontested masterpiece!
@@plaidpanda I love the characters, the story, the dialogue, the suspense, and of course the intelligence and adaptability of the "Alien".😃

This woman is 73 (!) years old and still looks better and healthier than most 60 year olds. She is a powerhouse.

I wish Jimmy had allowed for more actual conversation instead of trying to land a punchline. Sigourney was flawless.❤
Actual legend.
She looks amazing and very natural
I met Sigourney Weaver she was so polite and even more beautiful in person!! ❤️
I loved the new AVATAR and I had no idea she was playing Kiri! It's insane. So good.

When I lived in New York back in the 80's, happened to see Sigourney Weaver on the sidewalk. Now that made my day!!!
Did you help her up off the sidewalk?
@@WoodysAR ??
Ellen ripley is one my favorites characters
One of the best actresses of all time!
I went on an alien binge this past October aliens is by far one of the greatest action movies ever made
one of my first movie crushes! what a powerhouse Sigourney is :D
'Aliens' is still my favorite action movie, watched it the other day, still works!
She’s the best. Enjoyed her movies as she entertained me for over 40 yrs.
Sigourney Weaver is a movie legend and a Sci-Fi genre legend.
She is very intelligent. Very knowledgeable on the technology used for making the movie.
Как же шикарно она сиграла Кири!
Sigourney Weaver is a wonderfully talented actor! I've always loved her. Her persona reminds me of Old Star Class!
Haha i say she is as close as Katharine Hepburn hoho
And also of newer stars as well who like to take credit for stuntmen work and vfx artists
sig she is brilliant today as she was magnificent in those Alien moves!
love from the heart
Pure class ❤
This was one of the greatest movies of all time. Still processing 🤯
She has aged beautifully
She's a class act.
How can you not love this lady?
I love her I love Sigourney Weaver amazing actress and person, is a legend
I am still in love with Sigourney Weaver
What an incredible talent Weaver is.
I love her so much ❤…… and I loved Ripley
How is she still so stunning at 73😮
Every time that Sigourney is in a movie, I will see it. She is just awesome. She was and is awesome in Avatar franchise.
I just love Sigourney.

I don’t know what to think…if she’s more beautiful now or in the 80s! She is so elegant and beautiful in both years!
Thank you Jennifer Lawrence for paving the way for small time actresses like this to star in Action movies
Ha! I think J Law probably misspoke, but seriously, what a stupid freakin' thing to say. 😳
HAHAHAH That was good
Paving the way? About 50 years to late to pave that way... also: Sigourney Weaver a Small Time Actress???!!?
You must be a GenZ...
@@WoodysAR That's the JOKE....
It was a joke...check out what J. Law recently said for the punchline...
This woman ages like a fine wine!! I love her!!😁💯
Love Sigourney. Truly one of the best
How is she 73!
Like fine wine 🍷
Can’t be!
Sigourney Weaver deserves a lot more respect than that...
Saying 'it's not animated' makes perfect sense. It's her performance.
Love Sigourney Weaver
She is so AMAZING!
I was amazed at her performance as a child! I think Kiri was the best character in Avatar 2.

its about time she gets the recognition, admiration she deserves
Legend Actress!!!
With Sigourney being the ultimate OG final girl and just seeing the beginnings of some sort of powers in the film, you can just tell in the next film or a few films down she's going to just be unleashed as some amazingly powerful character
Abyss, another James Cameron water film, still waiting for it to be released on bluray after 16 years!
It's my favorite Cameron movie to date.
That is my favorite
It's supposed to be released on 4k early next year. I'm cautiously optimistic, and i hope it looks good.
Sigourney Weaver is remarkable! The strength she shows when she walks towards the table ... still Ripley.
We love you Sigourney, I will never forget you as Ripley in alien.
Sigourney Weaver plays her own alien daughter and that alone is worth the price of admission for Avatar 2.
I still love that she was the surprise actor on Cabin In the Woods at the end when she turned out to be the Director of the project that keeps the giants hidden and fed.
HOW IS THIS WOMEN 73?! SHE IS AN ICON. THE LEGEND.
I would pay good money for her to play Ripley ONE more time!!! She was epic!!!!!!!!
She needs more recognition than Meryl Streep
I have come to TRUST any movie Sigourney is in - I will enjoy.
She is a boss! ❤️
Sigourney is a delightful lady!
She is my favorite actress even she is 70+ I love alien movie
^movies?
LEGEND!!!Love her so much!

I LOVE Sigourney SO MUCH. This woman is a QUEEN OF QUEENS, she totally STOLE THE SHOW in Avatar 2!
She does exactly what i do with my hands when i'm interviewing or in a meeting!
That was a Superb Interview. Thank you Sigourney for Your ART ! ! !
Aaah, I had to skip through the film excerpts. Got my ticket for this Friday and don't want to see too much of the movie before I go! haha
Avatar 2 s set to become the highest grossing movie ever in the history of cinemas💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
Que linda señora. Me cae muy bien y es una gran actriz.
Definitely going to see this
Shout out for Weta digital based in Wellington New Zealand. Avatar was filmed here in New Zealand. 🇳🇿❤️
I loved Sigourney in Ghost Busters. Still wonderful as usual 💚
LEGEND
