The way Holly Hunter keeps pointing the conversation back to Jessica with what is clearly genuine interest makes me like her even more. And the way she doesn't worry about pausing and finding the right words? What a cool woman. Both of them generous and intelligent and awesome.
Two of my favorite actresses. I met Jessica Chastain a few years ago and she talked with me for a good half hour about acting and asking where and what I was studying. Before she left, she said hope to work with you one day. Class act. Love these ladies!
Ohmygosh!!! That would be amazing. Please share every single detail!!!! Do not leave anything out!
I went to see the movie The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby the night it opened. I missed the Q and A screening beforehand, but after the movie I headed to the bathroom and there on the bench was, James McAvoy. I introduced myself, and he could not have been more genuinely interested in the fact that I was an actor. He talked to me about method acting for awhile, and then in came Jessica Chastain, one of my biggest inspirations. She talked with me too for awhile, and was so incredibly kind and then proceeded to tell me, "I hope we work together one day."
That's a lovely story!
oh my god, you are so lucky to meet both of them after such an incredible film. i feel so happy for you!! when that day comes remind her of the day you met for the first time
lie
I can listen to Holly Hunter talk all day.
HeyItsMike atota
Totally
Do you like Jessica Chastain or no?
+Weldon Thatcher I love Jessica Chastain.
Me too - I was lucky enough to see her on stage in London - amazing. Just amazing.
My god, Chastain doesn't have a bad angle. She is stunning.
I know, right? I watch movies she's in just to stare at her.
Jessica got to be one of the nicest yet toughest women that exists. She is so kind and talented and badass.
Holly Hunter is such a legend!
LOL at that part where a producer tells Chastain to mirror the topics to Holly Hunter and Chastain goes, "I'm trying!"
Holly Hunter has a deep understanding of character and possesses a marked intelligence. I love listening to her analyze Jessica's character, to such a depth that surpasses Jessica's own knowledge of her character.
Yes, that was my perspective too
I will agree that Holly is highly intelligent and a passionate communicator, but her analysis of a character she experienced through both Jessica's performance and the editorial decisions of the film makers has little to do with Jessica's analysis of a character she experienced from a script. In the simplest case, Jessica is privy to all the scenes that were cut and/or iterated upon which will implicitly deviate her perception of the character from any viewer's. There is no need to create a hierarchy between subjective truths. They are both amazing.
lol Holly Hunter is the definition of overrated and pretentious
David Adams So you're telling that she knows more about the character just from watching a movie than Jessica, who spent months studying the script, working with the guy who wrote the script and analyzing/interviewing the actual person that she's playing? The word that describe your state is 'delusional'. She's past her prime (if she ever was in her prime), wrinkly and a so-so actress. Nothing special really, so I guess her fans have to do what they can to make her seem special and one of a kind.
War Lord At least Holly can articulate Jessica's character better, and that comes from age and experience.
A director on director would be incredible... Imagine the potential. And would be great for me because I'm studying cinema, so a director's perspective it's all I'm looking for :)
There's a podcast called "The Director's Cut" that's that exact thing! I found out about it because Nolan & Edgar Wright did one together... IT WAS INSANE
There’s an older interview with Francis Ford Coppola interviewing Martin Scorsese... it’s tremendous
I have such admiration and respect for Jessica Chastain mainly because everything she has done for her fellow actresses, for herself and for society all over the world. I hope one day I can tell her that and I know that she is a person that would sit with me for a minute or two just to listen to what I have to say to her. Of course I would take the chance to also tell her how gorgeous and amazing she is 😍
Great conversation. Jessica Chastain is fantastic
Jessica chastain is just amazing
I love that Jess took her heels off!! Just shows how at ease Holly put her.
Such an excellent pairing (once again), well done Variety!
I love Jessica Chastain, but the second half of the interview is by far the most interesting part. Holly Hunter is amazing.
All I hear is Elastigirl hahaha
Aslı thank you! Was trying to place her voice haha
Hahhaha you’re welcome
Aslı oh wow I’ve never made the connection!
Two of the best actors ever sitting and chatting together, awesome
Jessica Chastain is gorgeous, talented and a sweet heart.
Both beautiful, intelligent and great actresses, but Holly Hunter is, and has always been a favorite of mine. *Piano* has a special place in my heart, and most certainly deserved the praise it got, not least because Hunter played the piano scenes herself..
Hahaha I love how Holly Hunter gushes over Jessica and Jessica can't really get a word out for her lol
Omg I want to sit and talk with Holly Hunter for hours and hours about this
i really love holly hunter, she’s always seemed like a genuinely good person and i think she’s overlooked a lot
They say she's difficult. I bet its true. She's a Queen.
Holly Hunter is such a legend in the industry.
Holy hunter seems like a very humble person
Of all Holly Hunter's superb roles, my favorite is still, "The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader Murdering Mom." Her acting was so bold, over the top, wild, and amazing that I've never quite gotten over it. She was scary good. Watch it!!!
Whats strange is even though i grew up with The Incredibles and love it, when i hear Hunter i either think of Broadcast News or O Brother Where Art Thou
Love seeing how comfortable they are in this conversation!
Wow, both Oscar winners and incredible actresses. Queen Jessica and Queen Holly brings so much charisma, talent, beauty and girl power to the table, and we're not complaining indeed!!
Not even watched this vid yet, but yessss I love Holly Hunter! Watched Copycat again when it was on tv a month ago.
And Jessica is also amazingly talented and endearing.
Bravo on the pairing ***** : )
I was listening to this interview while browsing other pages, constantly thinking my internet was interrupted.
This whole interview, this whole entire interview is so beautiful and amazing and ugh yes. Thank you for getting these two beautiful women together. (also I'm glad I'm not the only one who sits on couches like Jessica Chastain, regardless of the setting.)
I would love to see an Actors on Designers, I think the process of "making" and understand the script is different, would be cool to hear their different approaches etc!
Wow. These two. Pls make a movie together.
This is such a great interview/ad for the film, because now I absolutely need to see it! Thank you for the recommendation Holly and Jessica :) *wink*
I love how they're sat like they're at home. I live for these videos omg.
Two of my personal favorite actors chatting it up. Count me in!
I could listen to Holly Hunter all day...
poor thing jessica trying to fit a question, "I'm trying" 12:30. Hahahahahah
This is wonderful!
Holly is an incredible incredible actress and I wish more people recognized that, i fell in love with her since the Piano, and honestly I could say the same with Jessica
Holly Hunter is a woman from Georgia! Just listen to her. Fabulous.
When Holly Hunter is on screen, I don’t see anyone else!
eileen Vandernoot Yes!!
Yesss. She's so powerfull
Wow Holly Hunter is an AMAZING listener, probably what makes her a great actor.
That was a great actors on actors
I love the film forever! Holly Hunter is a wonderfol person. 😘👍
This is such a great series, I love seeing actors you'd not normally see paired up together just having a chat. Julie Delpy needs to be in one, as does Woody Harrelson. If they could get Judi Dench or Maggie Smith that would be incredible to see!
I love Holly. She s the best!
all i literally hear is Elastigirl's monologue lol
Holly Hunter is the coolest!
Sometimes a YT video restores my faith in life itself & gives me hope that women are indeed making headway in this business (& this World) HOLLY DAMN HUNTER people! Jessica is glorious, she mentions *The Piano* AND *Raising Arizona* so I’m now deeply in love w her 😍 Completely fantastic interview with two talented actresses
Sophie's Choice, The Piano . Meryl and Holly. The best ever.
I love love Holly.
Jessica Chastain and Holly Hunter are FANTASTIC Ladies.
Two Gorgeous women
I never knew holly hunter was the voice for the mom on the Incredibles until she opened her mouth, and started talking! lol!
GAWWD I NEED TO WATCH MOLLY'S GAME ALREADY
Holly Hunter is fucking amazing, so insightful and engaging
Hunter would of course know what its like to play an inspired business woman.. just look at her terrific performance in Broadcast News
I adore Holly Hunter so much, and I so feel her sense of loss with a changing industry, where a cinema actor no longer has a direct visceral relationship with the camera (via those principals magnetized around the lens and aperture: the director, cinematographer, focus puller).
Holly Hunter is such a great listener as Jessica rambles
holly is a badass bish no harm meant by the comment, jessica is poised like a god damn elegant cat
Why is this not 4 hours long?!?
I really liked holly hunter in batman v superman, she gave me a strong first impression in that movie😍
I would comment on both of these incredible women, but much of what I would say has been said already, below. What I do want to highlight, is the contrast between Aaron Sorkin & men like Harvey Weinstein, that we see so clearly thru the words and experiences of these strong, intelligent women who testify to this contrast. We need more relationships, between men & women, in all industries.
This. Is. Not. About. You! - Elastigirl
Vive le cinéma de ttes les couleurs! Vive ces actrices si belles, colorées et écartées de cet hollywood fasho et malhonnête !
Holly Hunter will celebrate her 60th birthday on March 20, 2018
There are commenters here who think they are viewing somthing other than real mutual respect and admiration.
I love Bryce Dallas Howard
MelloZappa when did she get so badass?
We need a voice off between debra winger and emma stone
Interesting...It was like eavesdropping on a real conversation...
p.s The Japanese learnt a lot from you.
The was a naval British captain who wrote a book about naval tactics.
It was in the library of every Japanese naval captain in wwii
Holly reeeeally loved Molly's Game haha. Me too though it's very good.
OMG...Holly Hunter and Jeff Goldblum are the same person (23:35).
It’s Tammy Faye and Helen parr aka elastigirl
Holly sounds so much like Carrie Fisher.
what happens at 12.28? 😂what beautiful women!
Holly Hunter sounds just like Carrie Fisher to me.
Yes a lot of my mentality is female
Because I listened.
I learnt a lot from you.
It would seem you didn't value the usefulness of your though process.
If you're good at something "Never do it for free"
I'm a huge Holly Hunter fan. She always stands out, remarkably. But I don't know the difference between Jessica chastain and Margot Robbie.
W o c e
Am I the only one who thinks redheads are more attractive than others?
Rohit Kumar A redhead has a crush on me.
Ed Memory oh boy don't let her go 😀
Loooove you Jessie but let Holly talk a bit
Gia And Elastigirl.
Poor Jessica couldn't get a word in edge wise. @12:28 The other women is draining. She doesn't allow for duo dialouge
Bryce Dallas Howard looks great here 😅
"personnal power" or more like just freedom.
nothing to do with looks btw.
eddie redmayne on here please
I want to finish this but I keep getting scared Holly is going to ruin the movie lol! Christmas can't come soon enough
Puch. Ab. Thukega ab e question Puechte hi.
The white is blinding.
Jessica seems nice but she's such a teachers pet
Hahaha my thoughts exactly, she's like Anne Hathaway in that regard
Kahae ke mane ki chae. Se bujhbihi takkhan ne... 😕 . Ja Saar.
NO EVIL
Does this finally disprove the axiom that Arron Sorkin can’t write for women.
What the hell am I watching?
Actors love when films are politically preachy. Most fans hate it. But there are some tricks to learn. For instance, Matt Damon and George Clooney clearly make a movie to fill the coffers, then make a movie to tell half the country how much they despise them, then another film to put some more money in the bank, then another one to tell you how stupid you are if you believe there are only 2 genders. They alternate between getting paid (Capitalism) and ramming the leftist agenda down your throat (Socialism). it's both genius and disingenuous.
People like Chastain and Sorkin have made film and TV so fucking boring.
Women are more powerful than ever. Feminism changes policy now. Everyone bends to feminine needs now. I don't understand this patriarchy viewpoint in 2017. But i will say Jessica Chastain is a good actress. I started liking her when i saw The Help.
All of these interviews have one thing in common. Never miss a chance to slam the white man.
These actors are so neurotic with their self induced victim mentality.
Holly Hunter sinks in the chair not pretty, seems as she has a serious case of scoliosis, YET Jessica Chastain is the most intelligent actress around-for ever since 'the help'
