Anna Kendrick tells us about ditching her 'bag of tricks' and trusting her team & instincts while making 'Alice, Darling.'
Anna Kendrick has accomplished quite a bit over the years. She’s been racking up film and television credits since Twilight, earned an Academy Award nomination for her performance in Up in the Air, helped turn Pitch Perfect into a beloved franchise, and then some. But, her latest film poses quite the challenge and it’s a challenge she was only able to meet after ditching the “bag of tricks” she’s amassed over the years.
Alice, Darling originated with Katie Bird Nolan and Lindsay Tapscott of Babe Nation. The duo were eager to collaborate with Nighy, but it wasn’t until Alice, Darling came along that they finally found the right project. What was it about the script that signaled to Nighy that this was the one? Here’s what she said:
“I realized I'd kind of gotten into this pattern of knowing how to act for video village and for the dailies, and there are tools in my bag of tricks that I can always reach for to make sure that I know everyone at video village is gonna go like, ‘I think we got it,’ and that becomes a little soul crushing eventually. And it was such an internal performance, as you say.
It’s no wonder Kendrick thinks so highly of Horn. Yes, it’s important to go big in delivering one’s own work, but it’s equally important for scene partners to be there for each other, and that’s something Horn took very seriously while making Alice, Darling. She explained:
