>>> WELCOME BACK, SO EXCITED RIGHT NOW, WE’RE JOINED BY THREE
OF THE STARS YOU’LL SEE IN THE
HIGHLY ANTICIPATED REMAKE OF
"LITTLE WOMEN," FLORENCE PUGH,
SAOIRSE RONAN AND ELLE ELLE IT’S
JOURNEY THAT COMES WITH FEW
SURPRISES ALONG THE WAY.
TAKE A LOOK.
>> IS IT FAIRY?
>> SANTA CLAUS.
>> MR. LORD SENT THIS.
>> WHY?
>> WHY? >> HE WANTED YOU TO ENJOY THE
DAY.
DAY. >> BUT I THOUGHT HE WAS IN THE
OLD MAN.
OLD MAN. >> SO GENEROUS OF HIM.
>> HIS GRANDPA LORI PUT THE IDEA
IN HIS HEAD.
>> WE SHOULD MAKE FRIENDS WITH
HIM.
HIM. >> HE SCARES ME.
THAT BIG OLD HOUSE SCARCE ME.
>> I HAD THE PLEASURE OF SEEING
THIS MOVIE ALREADY, IT’S AMAZING
FLORENCE, SAOIRSE AND ELIZA.
YESTERDAY WAS A BIG DAY, THE
GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINATIONS WERE
ANNOUNCED, CONGRATULATIONS ON
YOUR GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINATION,
HOW DID THAT FEEL?
>> IT’S FANTASTIC.
IT’S A PART I TOTALLY LOVE TO
PLAY, START TO FINISH.
AND I’M GLAD THAT WE’RE THERE TO
REPRESENT THE FILM.
>> I LIKED YOUR STATEMENT.
I THOUGHT YOUR STATEMENT WAS
GREAT.
GREAT. YOU SAID MY PERFORMANCE IN THIS
FILM BELONGS TO GRETA, SPEAKING
OF GRETA GERWIG WHO IS THE
DIRECTOR, AS MUCH AS IT DOES TO
MYSELF, AND I SHARE THIS
RECOGNITION WITH HER.
WHICH BRINGS UP AN IMPORTANT
PART, GRETA WASN’T NOMINATED IN
THE GOLDEN GLOBE CATEGORIES,
WHAT DID YOU THINK WHEN YOU
HEARD THAT NEWS?
>> I THINK WE WERE ALL A BIT
SHOCKED, REALLY.
SHOCKED, REALLY. >> SHE HAS MADE ONE OF THE BEST
MOVIES OF THE YEAR, AND I THINK,
YOU KNOW, LAURA MADE A REALLY
GOOD POINT YESTERDAY AND THAT IN
A WAY IT’S SORT OF VITAL FOR
SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN
BECAUSE IT REMINDS US OF HOW FAR
OBVIOUSLY WE STILL NEED TO GO,
AND SHE’S A REALLY REALLY
BRILLIANT FILM MAKER, WHO, YOU
KNOW, WE WOULDN’T BE HERE
WITHOUT HER.
WITHOUT HER. AND WE’VE TALKED ABOUT HOW WE’RE
ALL SORT OF INEXTRICABLY LINKED.
OUR PERFORMANCES RELY SO MUCH ON
ONE ANOTHER.
ONE ANOTHER. GRETA IS THE ONE THAT BROUGHT US
ALL TOGETHER, AND SHE’S THE
MASTER MIND BEHIND THE WHOLE
THING.
THING. >> WHEN I WATCHED THIS I WAS
LIKE THESE GUYS WERE BORN TO
PLAY SISTERS.
PLAY SISTERS. THERE’S NO QUESTION.
DID YOU LIKE "LITTLE WOMEN"
GROWING UP.
GROWING UP. >> I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO
SAY, DID YOU GUYS LIKE THEM, NO.
>> DID YOU READ THE BOOK, DID
YOU SEE THE FILMS BEFORE?
>> I HAD QUITE A SPECIAL
CONNECTION TO IT, MY GRAM READ
IT TO ME WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, MY
FAVORITE CLASSICS, SO I WOULD GO
AROUND THE HOUSE ON THE WEEKENDS
AND SHE WOULD READ ME CHAPTERS.
>> DID SHE LIKE AMY, YOUR ROLE?
>> YES, SHE WOULD READ AMY’S
PART WITH THIS DEVILISH GRIN.
>> YOU GUYS HAVE SOME PUSHING
AND SHOVING SISTER FIGHTS, IS IT
TRUE THAT YOU ASKED SAOIRSE TO,
LIKE, SLAP YOU BEFORE THE SCENE?
>> YES.
>> YES. >> WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
>> WHISPER IT IN MY EAR.
>> IT WAS ONE TIME.
>> SO WHAT DID YOU SAY, JUST HIT
ME?
ME? >> YES.
>> YES. >> AND SAOIRSE?
>> I JUST SAID YES.
I DID, I HAVE A HEART, I DID SAY
LIKE ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT THIS,
DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE ASKING
FOR, AND SHE’S LIKE, YES, HIT
ME, AND IT WAS OUR LAST TAKE OF
THE SCENE, AND I THINK IT WAS
LIKE THE END OF THE DAY, AND WE
KIND OF JUST NEEDED TO.
>> WE HAD BEEN WRESTLING ALL
DAY.
DAY. WE WERE NOW FINALLY ON OUR LAST
SHOT, WE ACTUALLY MADE SURE IT
WAS IN THE PERFECT POSITION TO
GET THIS HIT, AND WHEN IT
HAPPENED, WE JUST LIKE SCREAMED.
>> I WAS A LITTLE NERVOUS AS
WELL.
WELL. WHAT IF I LIKE MISS OR WHAT IF
IT’S TOO SOFT.
WHAT IF I KILL HER.
>> ELIZA, YOUR CHARACTER HAS TO
KNOW HOW TO PLAY THE PIANO.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> DID YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO
LEARN OR RELEARN HOW TO PLAY?
>> I BASICALLY HAD TO RELEARN.
I HAD BEEN PLAYING WHEN I WAS 6
YEARS OLD, AND I GAVE IT UP IN
HIGH SCHOOL, AND IT JUST GOT TOO
HARD WITH ALL THE SCALES AND
EXAMS AND EVERYTHING.
BUT WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT THIS
IS I GOT TO HAVE A TEACHER AND I
GOT TO PRACTICE MORE THAN AN
HOUR A DAY, AND COME BACK TO
SOMETHING THAT I USED TO REALLY
LOVE AS A KID.
>> YOU ALL ARE SO OUTSTANDING IN
THIS ROLE.
THIS ROLE. I FEEL LIKE YOU WERE BORN TO
PLAY JO BUT I ALSO LOVE HOW
BEFORE THIS THING WAS MADE, YOU
WERE LIKE I’M DOING THAT ROLE.
WHAT DID YOU DO?
>> I JUST WENT UP TO GRETA AT A
PARTY OR AWARD SHOW OR SOMETHING
THAT WE WERE AT FOR "LADY BIRD"
AND I HEARD SHE WAS GOING TO
MAKE THIS FILM, AND I TAPPED HER
ON THE SHOULDER, GRETA, I KNOW
YOU’RE MAKING "LITTLE WOMEN" I’M
GOING TO BE JO, JUST WANTED TO
LET YOU KNOW.
I’M SO SORT OF IRISH ABOUT THOSE
THINGS, IF YOU WANT TO GIVE IT
TO ME, BUT WITH THIS I WAS
FORWARD ABOUT IT.
>> AND WHAT DID SHE SAY?
>> SHE SAID SHE WOULD THINK
ABOUT IT.
ABOUT IT. >> THAT’S WHAT YOU RECALL.
>> AND SO ANYWAY, A WEEK LATER,
SHE E-MAILED ME, AND SAID YES.
>> YOU GUYS HAVE MADE A
MASTERFUL MOVIE.
MASTERFUL MOVIE. IT’S SO FUN TO WATCH, AND I LOVE
THAT YOU CAN WATCH IT YOURSELVES
OR WITH YOUR KIDS.
YOU ARE TERRIFIC IN YOUR ROLES,
