Anne Hathaway, Thomasin McKenzie, and the Eileen filmmakers discuss the risks of adapting a story that's 'not everyone's cup of tea.'
The film adaptation of Ottessa Moshfegh’s award-winning debut novel is here and it features a stacked team of creators both in front of and behind the lens.
With Eileen making its debut at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, Hathaway, McKenzie, Whigham, Oldroyd, Moshfegh, and Luke Goebel who penned the screenplay alongside Moshfegh all visited the Collider Studio presented by Saratoga Spring Water to discuss their experience making the film. Having the right team is always vital, but it might be more important than ever when working on material deemed risky. In his director’s statement, Oldroyd noted, “We’ve taken a risk with the storytelling, the music, the performances, the cut, the tone.” Here’s what he said when asked what felt like the greatest risk in bringing Eileen to screen:
“I think sometimes when you meet someone who's really nice, you kind of brace yourself and you wait for, well, when's the other shoe gonna drop? Who are they really? And I can say with a certain degree of independent low budget cinema authority, the shoe never dropped. Will was the same person throughout no matter how much stress was coming at us, no matter how much pressure, and very, very real pressure to move on through a shot.
McKenzie took the baton from Whigham and pinpointed a specific moment in the film when Hathaway helped her access something in her own character that she might not have been able to reach without Hathaway's support.
