"Pretty Woman" icon Julia Roberts revealed why she hasn't starred in a romantic comedy for two decades.
The “Pretty Woman” alum said, “People sometimes misconstrue the amount of time that’s gone by that I haven’t done a romantic comedy as my not wanting to do one. It’s not just, ‘Oh, I think I want to do this.'” The Oscar winner continued, “I almost didn’t do ‘August: Osage County’ because they were going to start filming right as our youngest son was starting kindergarten, and I was like, How could I miss this? “But even with that, I thought, ‘Well, disaster, because this only works if it’s George Clooney,'” the “Gaslit” star admitted. “What I’ve learned is that you always want to do what you’re not doing,” Roberts said. Then you’re doing that, and you think, ‘Oh to be wearing a pretty dress and laughing.'”
'Gaslit' creator Robbie Pickering told Variety about his first meeting with Sean Penn and why he was perfect for the role.
I think in a lot of ways the Trump administration is like in inheritor of the Nixon one — there are a lot of people who are Nixon adjacent,” Pickering explained. “They know each other so well, they have a very deep love for each other,” Pickering added. I put that in that pipe stem thing in the show.” “I didn’t ever think we’d get her but her one requirement was that she act with Sean Penn. You didn’t have to twist my arm, but I didn’t say yes right away — I had to eat dinner with him,” he said. “One of the first thing he noted about John Mitchell was he famously smoked this pipe and Sean told this really great tory about how his dad also smoked a pipe. I was also blown away by Sean’s dad had this thing in common with this villain from history.

“If I had read something that I thought was that Notting Hill level of writing or My Best Friend’s Wedding level of madcap fun, I would do it.” So apparently, Roberts is more than open to making more rom-coms; she just isn’t being offered quality stuff. Ticket to Paradise isn’t the only upcoming project in which Julia Roberts insisted on a specific leading man. Speaking to the New York Times Magazine, Roberts said that people think she’s not interested in rom-coms anymore, but that simply isn’t the case.
Julia Roberts shared how her friendship with Sean Penn set the tone for their Gaslit fight scene, in which their characters, John and Martha Mitchell, ...
So she decided to let Sean set the tone for the scene, recalling that she told him, "You kind have the harder part cuz you, you have to start it. And while the My Best Friend's Wedding actress hasn't "done a lot of fight scenes," she knew "when you're gonna commit to something like that, you have to really commit to it." So when it came time for her to let him have it, Julia didn't hold back—and Sean noticed.
"Gaslit" is the new political drama on Starz about the Watergate scandal, which brought down Richard Nixon's presidency in 1974.
Described as "a big personality with an even bigger mouth" via Starz, the series will be told mainly from her perspective. - Chris Conner as John Ehrlichman - Adam Ray as Ron Ziegler The series will officially premiere on Sunday, April 24 at 9 p.m. ET on Starz and Starzplay, with episodes airing weekly. - Reed Diamond as Mark Felt - Patrick Walker as Frank Wills - Jeff Doucette as Sam Ervin - Chris Bauer as James McCord - Chris Messina as Agent Angelo Lano Newsweek has everything you need to know. - Aleksandar Filimonović as Zolton. - J.C. Mackenzie as Howard Hunt
At the premiere of Starz's Watergate drama, the Oscar-winning actors spoke to 'V.F.' about why this was their ideal first collaboration.
Betty Gilpin, who stars on the series as Mo Kane Dean—the savvy wife of Watergate whistleblower John Dean, portrayed by Dan Stevens—spoke to V.F. about the importance of telling well-worn stories from a different point of view. Diving in meant going beyond the usual cast of characters associated with Watergate and highlighting new perspectives like that of Judy Hoback, the accountant who served as a crucial investigative source during the Watergate scandal. “I think I learned everything,” Roberts said. A lot of people don’t know the inside story.” “And so to have my sandbox partner be this guy, it was a dream come true.” “That’s the real key for me.”
“People sometimes misconstrue the amount of time that's gone by that I haven't done a romantic comedy as my not wanting to do one,” she explained. “If I had ...
It’s not just, ‘Oh, I think I want to do this.’ I have a sense of great pride in being home with my family and considering myself a homemaker.” “I thought, Well, disaster, because this only works if it’s George Clooney,” she said. “People sometimes misconstrue the amount of time that’s gone by that I haven’t done a romantic comedy as my not wanting to do one,” she explained.
The actress opened up about her decision in an interview with 'The New York Times.'
But as they get older, and particularly with my daughter, I do have a sense of responsibility for showing my children that I can be creative and that it's meaningful to me — so meaningful that for periods of time I will choose to focus on that almost more than my family, which has been hard for me to come to terms with." "People sometimes misconstrue the amount of time that's gone by that I haven't done a romantic comedy as my not wanting to do one," she explained. It's also the math equation of my husband's work schedule and the kids' school schedule and summer vacation.
The Notting Hill star has been waiting for a project like the upcoming Ticket To Paradise.
“If I had read something that I thought was that Notting Hill level of writing or My Best Friend’s Wedding level of madcap fun, I would do it. For Roberts, the film only worked with her Ocean’s Eleven co-star. Listen, Julia Roberts did not want to take such a long break from rom-coms, but writers and producers forced her hand.
The film, out this fall, is Roberts' first romantic comedy in 20 years.
Reflecting on the muscles used to make a film like this, she said “I love to laugh and be funny. The new film is produced by Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner (among others) of Working Title films. “Ticket To Paradise,” written and directed by Ol Parker, broke the dry spell, she added. Somehow we are both able to do it, and off we went.” In an effort to get audiences to recognize just how big a deal this thing is, Roberts is banging the drum well in advance of its late October (New York Film Festival?) release. (While there may not be Top Gun-like airplanes zooming around, these are stars who draw top dollar; who knows what the true budget is.)
The "Gaslit" star opens up to The New York Times Magazine about why she's been absent from romantic comedy movies for the past 20 years.
“People sometimes misconstrue the amount of time that’s gone by that I haven’t done a romantic comedy as my not wanting to do one,” she continued. “Lo and behold, George felt it only worked with me. Then you’re doing that, and you think, ‘Oh to be wearing a pretty dress and laughing.’”
While on SiriusXM's The Jess Cagle Show discussing her new Starz series Gaslit about the Watergate scandal, the Oscar winner, 54, smiled when asked about her ...
"Yeah," she said, as Cagle declared, "That's the secret. Roberts previously raved about her marriage with Moder to PEOPLE in 2017, explaining how she found her fairytale ending after outgrowing her "awkward" early years. asked host Cagle, to which Roberts replied, "More kissing!"
Julia Roberts and George Clooney will co-star as a divorced couple in Ol Parker's new romcom, set to premiere in October 2022.
Somehow we were both able to do it, and off we went." Roberts continued, if she had read a script that was the "level of madcap fun" of My Best Friend's Wedding or as well-written as Notting Hill, she would do it. There's a reason why, she recently revealed to the New York Times. "What I’ve learned is that you always want to do what you’re not doing.
A well-cast look at the presidential scandal that made the suffix "gate" part of our lexicon.
In doing so it captures a time when there were snakes all around, and how far they'd go to save their own skins. Known for her cozy relationship with reporters, Mitchell was kidnapped, held and drugged to prevent her from talking when the scandal broke, after which Nixon's flunkies endeavored to make her look like a drunk and crazy woman (she's shown being asked if she's nuts on a talk show) in order to discredit her. The show comes with a glittering marquee, casting Julia Roberts and an unrecognizable Sean Penn
The actress was spotted entering the studio looking like sunflower, dress in a butter yellow custom suit from Lafayette 148 New York. The pants, which matched ...
In the year 2022, there doesn’t have to be anything stuffy about suits, and Roberts proved that in just one day. The actress arrived to the premiere of her new show Gaslit in yet another quirky suit, this one courtesy of Gucci. Like the first two, this was no ordinary black-tie number. But the only thing better than two suits is three, so Roberts rounded out the night in another tailored number.
Dan Stevens and Betty Gilpin open up about their experiences on the Starz series 'Gaslit,' which also stars Julia Roberts and Sean Penn.
“It gives me hope because the flip side of that is no matter how flawed we think we are, we all have the capacity to speak up and speak the truth and be heroic,” he says. as long as we have Putins, we’ll have Zelenskys.” Martha was the first to publicly sound the alarm on the former president’s involvement in the Watergate scandal, which caused his presidency and her personal life to unravel. “The show really explores complicity and why people do horrible things,” he said. John Mitchell, who’s Sean Penn’s character, just feels valued by Nixon. He feels valued by somebody in power, and I think we all know what that’s like to feel — it’s just this weird, seductive feeling.” He was a great man.
Julia Roberts, Sean Penn and Penn's prosthetic head will hog the headlines, but this new look at the Watergate scandal has plenty of other compelling things ...
It’s Margaret Whigham, a London-based member of the Scottish gentry who in 1963 became especially famous for the sensational revelations and allegations about her sexual infidelities aired in court during her divorce from her second husband, Ian Campbell, the Duke of Argyll (Paul Bettany). Unlike the society of the times, this series from by serial Agatha Christie adaptor Sarah Phelps, doesn’t shame Whigham for the brio with which she pursued her sexual adventures. With Claire Foy having given such a defining performance as the Queen in The Crown (Netflix), it’s hard not to think of this three-part miniseries as The Dirty Crown. Once again Foy is playing a real-life posh period Brit, but this time a very different one. The inclusion of a murderous drug gang to drive the drama further detracts from what might have been a charming and thought-provoking misfit comedy. Vikings creator Michael Hirst begins this slightly hagiographical series about Wild West outlaw Billy the Kid with an episode that’s all elegy – for the death of childhood innocence, for the death of immigrant dreams, and for sundry deaths of other sorts. Which isn’t to say that this is an exclusively high-minded jeremiad – sure, Chieng practically rattles with disdain for anti-vaxxers who think they know more than vaccine scientists, but he gets just as worked up over the fact that Mr Bean is the most revered comedy figure in all of South-East Asia. Great fun. The anything-goes atmosphere extends to the highest levels of Nixon’s reelection apparatus – the foul-mouthed Mitchell is about to hear Liddy’s pitch for “Operation Gemstone”, a wide-ranging campaign of illegal tricks designed to damage the Democrats’ election chances.
