Alison Brie talks 'Happiest Season' and mentions Kristen

What can you say about Clea DuVall's Happiest Season, which I'm really looking forward to seeing someday?

(Laughs.) Well, I haven't heard much about Happiest Season, although I feel like it might be on track to still be released this year? I say that with a giant question mark, but what a fun movie. Oh, it was just a blast to shoot, and it has an incredible cast. Mackenzie Davis and Kristen Stewart lead the way. It's like a totally joyful holiday rom-com. And it's about Mackenzie Davis' character bringing her girlfriend, Kristen Stewart's character, home for the holidays, and her family doesn't yet know that she's gay. And it's a holiday rom-com, but it's also a family comedy, holiday movie. It's got a bunch of delicious characters and again, an amazing cast: Mary Steenburgen, Victor Garber, Dan Levy, Aubrey Plaza and Mary Holland, who co-wrote the movie with Clea DuVall. Clea is an incredible director, and we really had such a fun time with everybody on set. It was such a joyful experience, and it was really fun for me coming out of shooting The Rental and Horse Girl, which were very dramatic thrillers. It was nice to have that release.

Cinematographer Rachel Morrison talks 'Seberg' and mentions Kristen

Part of the attraction of Seberg was getting the opportunity to work with Kristen Stewart. “I thought Kristen was an interesting choice to play Jean because she has lived so much of her life in the public eye as well. At such a young age she was engaged in many public ‘scandals’ which to me raises the question ‘What right do we have to cross from her screen presence to her private life?’ Her performance is really quite stunning.”

“Our supporting cast which included Margaret Qualley, Zazie Beetz, Anthony Mackie, Jack O’Connell, and Vince Vaughn were each incredible to work with,” remarks Morrison. “The chemistry between Anthony and Kristen was amazing; they brought so much life to the screen.” When asked about her favorite shot in the film, the Academy Award-nominee replies, “I’m partial to the underwater shot because its unexpected. You’re with Jean for so long above water, but its this fluid moment and then suddenly you descend below the surface with her.” Any other surprise takeaways from the film? “Benedict was obsessed with mirrors. There is a theme about reality versus perceived reality versus someone’s fractured reality. While I think that there are twice as many mirror shots than we needed they’re admittedly quite beautiful.”

Mackenzie Davis talks 'Happiest Season' and Kristen with The Independent

Excerpt:

Though it’s seemed a charmed run, Davis says she’s often fought a lack of confidence. Therapy has helped. “It’s made things a lot less vague for me. I don’t so much try to control those feelings of anxiety or upset but understand them.” Kristen Stewart helped, too. On the set of Happiest Season, their forthcoming lesbian romcom, Davis was convinced everyone would realise she was bad at acting. “I’m like, ‘I don’t know how to do this and everyone is finally going to see it on this one,’” she jokes. Stewart, however, was “soothing” for her. “She’s been doing this forever and is, you know, somebody that seems very stable and secure in their enormous success but also gets the same feelings I get every day. Being an actor is not hard at all, but the emotional awkwardness of slipping into a role can feel excruciating.”

Working on Happiest Season right before coronavirus shut down the entertainment industry has also made her re-evaluate many of her past career goals. “I used to really like the challenge of switching between genres and being conscious of not wanting to be one single thing,” she explains. “Tonal shifts really appealed to me. But I think that’s kind of gone away a bit. Happiest Season was just two months of uninterrupted joy, and I realised I really like going to set every day and laughing.”

NEON picks up 'Spencer' for distribution in the US

NEON has teamed with Topic Studios to win a pitched bidding battle and will pay north of $4 million for U.S. rights to Spencer, with Pablo Larraín is set to direct and Kristen Stewart to play Princess Diana. The drama has been one of the most hotly contested packages at the virtual Cannes Market.

The Steven Knight-scripted film covers a critical weekend in the early ‘90s, when Diana decided her marriage to Prince Charles wasn’t working, and that she needed to veer from a path that put her in line to one day be queen. The drama takes place over three days, in one of her final Christmas holidays in the House of Windsor in their Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England. Production is expected to begin in early 2021.

Searchlight, Universal and A24 were the other distributors I heard were in the mix. Tom Quinn’s NEON is coming off the stunning Oscar triumph of Parasite, and has been aggressive in the marketplace, teaming with Hulu for a precedent setting Sundance deal on Palm Springs. This gives the distributor another strong picture for the future. NEON previously teamed with Topic Studios to acquire the Sundance 2019 pic Luce, the thriller directed by Julius Onah.

The U.S. deal was brokered by CAA Media Finance and Endeavor Content, with FilmNation Entertainment handling offshore. This is the second major deal for those parties today, with Emancipation near closing. That deal is a world rights pact to either Apple or Warner Bros, but while they got a couple of worldwide offers for Spencer, the filmmakers decided to spread this one out and international buyers have been all over it. I expect deals to be closed in short order, something that points to vibrancy in the global market.

While some wondered if the Virtual Cannes market would be worthwhile, this deal and the one about to close on Emancipation would indicate there’s a lot of buyer appetite which should bode well for the other numerous titles in play.
