Well Karen, let's start with the story.

Let's talk about the script and when you first fell in love with it and how it came into your hands.

Yeah, I was actually on a set of another film and Andy Cohen, who's also a producer on the movie, is also the writer's manager,

called me and he pitched me some thriller that didn't sound very good good.

And I said, well, what do you love?

What do you have that you think is just special?

And he told me that his client had been working on this script.

And he said, oh, but it's small.

And he sort of downplayed it and said, well, if that's the one you love, send me that.

And I read it and I just was desperate to make it track down Tom.

And I think he was in Montreal on vacation and just said, I'm your producer.

I have to make this movie.

And what in Mark Webb's diverse directing portfolio made him the perfect guy for this story?

I mean, this is a little movie, and it's a bit of a throwback film.

You know, it reminded me of movies I grew up with, Kramer vs. Kramer.

Mark and I talked about Paper Moon, movies that just don't really get made that often anymore.

And so it felt like the tone was really important to do something that could be both funny and dramatic, but feel real and just emotionally immersive.

So part of it was just being in love with Mark's work and really wanting, you know, so impressed with what he did with 500 Days of Summer and wanting someone like that.

But it was also knowing that if I compromised on who the filmmaker was, A, the movie probably wouldn't get made, and B, it probably wouldn't get made well enough to be the movie that,

as Tom Flynn says, is a movie that lots of people get to see.

And so, when he actually read it and said yes, that was, then we were off to the races.

Well, I was going to ask you, you have been acting most of your life, since you were very little, so you've done a lot of different things.

Why did you want to play Mary?

Oh my goodness, well, I loved Fred, I loved Mary, I loved Frank, I just loved the entire script.

I just, it really moved me.

It was a really moving script for me and I hope that it's a moving movie for other people like y'all.

And I just fell in love with it after reading it

because I did the Blacklist live reading which I thought that if I did that, if they turned it into a movie then maybe I'd get to be in the movie

but I had to go through another auditioning process which took 8 months and...

Oh.

I just felt more emotionally attached to this film than I have with any film.

You really wanted it.

Do you think you and Mary have a lot in common?

Well, I think that everyone has something in common with Mary

because we all feel alone or different from time to time in our lives.

So I think that we all have that in common with Mary.

And anyways, I am Mary.

Can you tell us a little bit about the casting process?

And was Chris involved, like maybe in auditions to see if there was chemistry?

You know, there's a sort of basic economy to getting a film made.

So of course, one of the first questions was, who's Frank?

And we needed to figure out who Frank was in order to know who Mary could be.

And once Chris came into the project, we had already started, actually, international casting search.

I think something like 900 Girls.

Our casting director, David Rubin, who is brilliant, along with Fox Casting, saw about 900 Girls.

And we knew that, we knew the movie wouldn't work if we didn't have the right Mary.

Um, but we also knew that we had to sort of figure out that chemistry with whoever played Frank.

So we did, um, chemistry read, um, in New York and, um, McKenna was just...

I, I keep saying this but it's just because I remember it so vividly, you know, when she came in and there were a couple of girls, a few other girls at Red as well,

she came in, I don't know if you remember this, But they were doing the breakfast cereal scene, and they had a little table and two chairs.

And he just had special case earrings.

Yeah, we did.

We had props.

You know, we were prepared.

And he just kind of put her arm around her.

There was something he did that just felt so paternal.

And there just seemed to be an instant bond.

And McKenna had great rhythm.

They were riffing off each other.

It was funny.

And then McKenna said, excuse me, and left to go prepare and come back in and do the don't leave me scene.

And she basically brought all of us to tears.

Chris was just looking at the floor trying not to cry.

Mark was crying.

I, of course, was totally crying.

Yeah, so we sort of knew that we knew what we were doing then.

Yeah, you nailed it.

What are your favorite themes from the movie?

And then what do you hope people remember most?

Like when they leave the theater, what do you really want them to think about?

Well, I want them to leave feeling happy and I want the movie to make them feel good or make them cry, make them angry, make them happy.

I want them to leave the movie theater saying, wow.

I just want them to think, like, sometimes people think that it must be so easy, like I did.

I thought that it must be so easy for gifted children

or gifted people at all because they must be so confident and so happy and have a lot of friends at school.

Sure.

Because they know all the answers in their tests and they know all the answers and they're super smart.

And everybody must love them.

But a lot of the time, well, sometimes that's not the case.

Sometimes they feel different or they feel sad.

And I want people to understand that you should be nice to each other, even if we're different.

We should be nice to each other no matter what.

Like if you see someone sitting alone at recess, then you should go say hi and ask them if they want to go play with you.

Or if you see someone sitting alone at a lunch table, You should say, hey, do you want to have lunch with me?

You should be kind to people because everyone has a story.

Everyone.

You have a story.

I have a story.

Everyone here has a story.

And that we should all be kind to one another.

I hope that they take that away from the movie.

That is so true.

I couldn't have said that better myself.

Well, please help me thank these lovely ladies.

And thank you for your lovely film.

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
