BY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
JENNIFER: TIME FOR A LOOK AT WHAT'S NEW IN THEATERS THIS
WEEKEND.
OUR FILM CRITIC, LAUREN VENIZIANI, JOINS US LIVE THIS
MORNING.
THERE IS SOMETHING NEW IN THE THEATER.
>> THERE IS SOMETHING NEW IN SELECT BALTIMORE THEATERS,
CALLED VOYAGERS.
BY THE WAY, JEN, YOU LOOK GORGEOUS IN YOUR RAVENS PURPLE.
VOYAGERS, I'VE SEEN IT TWICE.
IN THIS FILM, EARTH IS NO LONGER HAPPEN TABL SO A CREW OF LUNG
ASTRONAUTS, LED BY COLLIN FARRELL START A
MULTIGENERATIONAL MISSION TO GET TO ANOTHER PLANET.
I SPOKE TO THE STARS FOR THIS FILM AND THEY JUST KIND OF
GUSHED ABOUT WORKING TOGETHER.
THEY SHOT THE FILM BACK IN 2019.
NOW IT'S FINALLY ABLE TO BE OUT IN THEATERS.
IT WILL BE ON VOD.
HERE'S WHAT THEY THAT'SED SAY ABOUT WORKING TOGETHER IN
VOY VOYAGERS.
>> WE'RE NORMAL KIDS.
SENSITIVE AND SMART.
I NEED TO PROTECT THEM.
>> YOUR CHARACTERS, CHRISTOPHER AND SULLA, BRING OUT THE BEST
POSITIVITY IN EACH OTHER ONCE THEIR EMOTIONS TRULY START TO
FORM TOWARDS THE LATTER PART OF THE FILM.
THE TWO OF YOU WORKING SO CLOSELY TOGETHER, WHAT'S
SOMETHING THAT YOU LEARNED ABOUT EACH OTHER AS A PERSON OR AN
ACTOR WORKING TOGETHER?
>> WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO SPEND THIS MUCH TIME WITH A PERSON,
THE HOPE IS YOU'LL GET ALONG CREATIVELY AND ALSO PERSONALLY
BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO BE SPENDING A LOT OF TIME WITH THE
PERSON.
I WAS LUCKY, IN THAT TIME, I GOT ALONG AND FORMED A NICE
FRIENDSHIP OUTSIDE OF JUST HAVING TO WORK TOGETHER AND
EVERYTHING AND SO I THINK THAT'S ALWAYS A NICE THING BECAUSE IT,
OBVIOUSLY, ALLOWS FOR A NICE TIME ON SET.
BUT ALSO, JUST LIKE A GOOD A CREATIVE KIND OF SYMBIOTIC,
CREATIVE RELATIONSHIP WHERE YOU CAN TAKE RISKS OR TRY DIFFERENT
THINGS.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR PARTNER.
LIKE I DON'T KNOW IF I -- I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF INSANE
REVELATION I CAN SAY ABOUT SOME CRAZY SECRET ABOUT TY.
HE'S INTERESTING TO ME.
>>SHHH.
>> DON'T WORRY.
BUT I THINK LIKE TY IS SOMEBODY WHOSE WORK I REALLY ADMIRE AND
WHO I ADMIRED BEFORE WE MET AND SO IT WAS INTERESTING GETTING TO
SEE HIS PROCESS AND HOW HE APPROACHES HIS ROLES AND
EVERYTHING.
>> WILLIE IS ONE OF THE PEOPLE YOU WATCH AND LEARN FROM.
I THINK SHE HAS A GREAT ABILITY TO MAKE EVERYONE FEEL VERY
COMFORTABLE AND SHE'S -- EVERYONE LIKES TO BE AROUND HER
AND SHE IS LIKE -- THERE ARE A LOT OF, LIKE, A LOT OF -- I
DON'T KNOW.
WE HAD, YOU KNOW, 15 PRINCIPAL ACTORS THAT WERE ALL UNDER THE
AGE OF 25 ON THE FILM.
I THINK SHE HAD A SUPER CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH EVERYONE.
SO SHE'S KIND OF LIKE THE GLUE OF THE CAST.
>> TY, MY HUSBAND AND I WATCH READY PLAYER ONE ONCE A MONTH.
WE'RE OBSESSED WITH IT.
LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
YOU LOOK GORGEOUS, BY THE WAY.
>> SO DO YOU.
>> SO TY SHERIDAN AND LILLY ROSE.
THOUGH I'M INTERVIEWING VIA ZOOM, IT'S NICE TO TALK ABOUT
FILM.
IT'S DIRECTED BY NEAL BERGER.
THIS DIRECTOR ALSO DID LIMITLESS, WITH OUR FAVORITE,
BRADLEY COOPER, DIVERGENT.
I PERSONALLY LOVE SCI-FI FANTASY STORIES THAT FOCUS ON YOUNG
PEOPLE AND WE'VE SEEN SIMILAR STORIES LIKE THIS BEFORE.
A LITTLE BIT LIKE THE GIVER MIXED WITH HUNGER GAMES.
BUT THIS FILM SHOWCASES HOW DETRIMENTAL SUPPRESSING YOUR
EMOTIONS CAN BE TO YOUR MENTAL HEALTH AND IT HAPPENS TO BE SET
IN SPACE.
I THINK THE ACTORS AND DIRECTOR DID AN INCREDIBLE JOB WITH THAT.
THE SPACE SEQUENCES LOOKED GORGEOUS.
THERE'S A CLAUS PHOBIC FEEL WHEN YOU'RE WATCHING IT.
I SAW IT TWICE.
I LOVED IT.
ALSO THE VILLAIN IN THE FILM IS EXCELLENT.
I'M GIVING IT 4 OUT OF 5.
IT'S CURRENTLY IN SELECT THEATERS IN THE BALTIMORE AREA.
IT'S PLAYING AT CINEMARK AND OTHERS.
IT WILL BE VOD.
THERE'S SOME STREAMING OPTIONS AS WELL.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, JEN, BUT I'VE BEEN WATCHING A TON OF
COMFORT MOVIES.
LEGALLY BLONDE IS ON NETFLIX.
THAT TOOK UP MY THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
JENNIFER: SOUNDS GOOD, LAUREN.
GREAT TO SEE YOU AS ALWAYS.
