Space station 761/13/2024 ![]() If she had her choice, what do you think she’d rather be doing, rather than being on this space station with these people? Your character, Jessica, is an intelligent, sweet woman, but she also seems comfortable with the idea of being a woman in power. Because I can’t have babies, I’m focusing on my career. I was focused on working my way up in that profession. In my mind, I was moving up and getting promoted in a very male world. Because the other guy left, they needed someone to be in that position. I don’t remember why I left to go to that ship. Beyond just filling in for someone who’s left the ship under mysterious circumstances, what is it that brings your character on board with these people? These are people who really would never be friends with each other, except for the fact that they’re all stuck on this space station together. There’s a song called “Utopia” that’s really cool and long and weird and instrumental, and it worked perfectly. And then, it was so exciting because, when the music was happening, I helped him get some of my stepfather Todd Rundgren’s music, which was perfect for the film, and Todd agreed to let them use it. He had already created a whole visual packet for us, if I remember correctly. I totally understood the pacing and the way the world looked and how things were shot. Being a child of the ‘70s myself, it was like all of the TV shows that I watched in the ‘80s, growing up with my mom. That completely was there, from the start, which was great. And Jack had a whole weird little website with photos. He’s just so lovely.īecause so much of this film is about the visual style and specificity of it, did that come across on paper, when you read it? And I got to work with Matt Bomer, who’s so amazing and such a babe. I knew that there was something important for me, just as a person, in my life, to have that experience. I was like, “I really want to work with this guy, and I just want to go and make this movie.” I wasn’t so concerned with the actual outcome, but more just wanted to have the experience with him. I just thought it was so interesting and so brilliant. He has a whole little wacky philosophy of his own, of freeing yourself of the negative voices in your mind and liberating yourself, and he has all of these positive affirmations. When I say that he’s an acting teacher, he’s not particularly teaching skill and technique, or at least that wasn’t my experience. It’s something I was always a little bit reluctant to do. I’ve never actually really classically studied acting, at all. I had looked at a lot of that stuff before I had talked to him, and I was so intrigued by his whole philosophy. He does all of these really interesting workshops and he has a website. He’s an actor himself, and he’s also an acting teacher. I remember the Skype so well because it was half Skype session with a director and half therapy session for me. I read the script and was like, “This is really beautiful and strange and unique and interesting,” so I Skyped with him. LIV TYLER: If I remember correctly, Jack Plotnick sent it to me and wrote me a note.
