Emma Stone, Chloë Grace Moretz, Cynthia Erivo and Sarah Paulson discussed upcoming projects at the show.
The actress has also reunited with director Yorgos Lanthimos for “Poor Things,” which promises to be as twisted as their previous work on “The Favourite.” The novel by Alasdair Gray has been described as a “Frankenstein” reimagining set in the Victorian era, with Stone playing a woman who is brought back to life by a mad scientist. “It was an incredible experience. We finished in December,” she said.
“It’s a very interesting concept, and obviously with [“Westworld” creators] Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan behind it, it’s a very exciting project that I can’t wait for everyone to see. It’s pretty spooky, I think, how realistic it could possibly be,” she added. Cynthia Erivo is also straddling physical and digitally augmented roles. The English actress and singer is gearing up to star in the film adaptation of “Wicked,” and will make a cameo in the Walt Disney live-action version of “Pinocchio,” directed by Robert Zemeckis, as the Blue Fairy.
Erivo is juggling big-budget productions with an independent film that she’s co-producing through her company Edith’s Daughter. “I’m sort of just allowing myself to go with whatever is necessary for each project, and whatever is necessary with the production company, just as safe as we can be,” she said.
