While she may not be saying a word to anybody about her role in Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi set to arrive in December, actress Laura Dern was willing to speak briefly about what it’s like working with the director in this interview with Collider.
I would love to hear anything you have to say about Rian Johnson, but I know you can’t say anything about the film.
DERN: I worship him.
Isn’t he the greatest? Everything he’s done is incredible.
DERN: Oh, he’s the guy. He’s the guy to watch. To me, I’ve never seen anything like it. Comfort on an enormous movie, improvisation, “Try that, try that!” There’s a lot of people weighing in on creating character and looks, and things are so iconic, and sets, and he’s still in the world of character. “How do you feel? What do you think? How do you want it?” I mean, to everybody. But he’s just amazing, and he’ll do radically beautiful things, and I also feel like he’s one of the people I’ll work with again and again, because we just loved each other. We had dinner recently and he was telling me an idea that was just so crazy and indie and I just love that’s he’s a radical.
