"I think Rooney is just an extraordinary actress. She’s like the Mona Lisa for me. A lot of people go, “Oh, she’s cold,” but I actually think it’s quite the opposite. I think she is a deeply special human and she’s got a great humanity. I just didn’t find any of those stereotypes that people label her with. I actually found her very generous. I thought that she brought great life to the film. She just held the mystery of the story in such a way that it wasn’t sentimental or cheesy. It was just genuine. Rooney’s like that—she won’t play the sentimental card, or the obvious card. She’ll always want to go at it from an angle that’s intriguing and more like real life".

Garth Davis and Greig Fraser DP are DGA winners!!! theplaylist.net/damien-chazelle-wins-dga-award-la-la-land-20170205/

So sweet that Rooney is there supporting her director/ friend. A lot of talent in one picture. Super cute.

Garth's interview: ‘If you make a film because it’s easy, it never works’

Interesting...

For instance, the character of Lucy, played by Rooney Mara, is an amalgamation of three girlfriends who encouraged Brierley to reconnect with his birth mother.

Alongside promoting Lion, Davis is working on his next movie Mary Magdalene based on the Biblical character’s life, with Mara as the lead. “Her story is misrepresented and this is from her point of view. It’s time for her story to be told,” the filmmaker says. Drawing parallels between Magdalene and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai, Davis says the fight for women’s rights and education inspired him to make Lion, which aims to explore humanity beyond gender boundaries.

Movies revolving around religious themes are at a high risk of facing backlash, so is he ready for it? “Not prepared, but certainly expecting it,” laughs Davis. But for now, the focus firmly remains on Lion’s Oscar prospects later this month.

No worries. Double celebration. Also Fraser is totally one of us :)

I haven't seen Lion yet ( waiting for the theather release) to know how deserved this is, for real. But the cinematography looks relevant even in the trailer

Just got back from a LION screening. It was a real tearjerker 😭 with some dark things. I think Rooney had a pivotal role in it, albeit screentime was less than I hoped.

A great film altogether.

Hey, even the Mona Lisa is falling apart.
