In the new issue of Seventeen magazine, Reese interviews her young A Wrinkle In Time co-stars Storm Reid and Rowan Blanchard. Below is the cover, and you can find scans in the Gallery. There’s also a video with parts of the interview, which you can watch further down this post.
The Gallery has been updated today with HD screencaptures from Reese’s first movie – The Man In The Moon. The quality is gorgeous, and there are lots of beautiful shots of young Reese. This is without a doubt one of my favourite Reese films and performances – she carries the film so naturally and confidently, it’s incredible to think that this was her very first acting role. The film itself is summed up just perfectly by famed movie critic Robert Ebert:
Roger Ebert: When this movie was over, I sat quietly for a moment so that I could feel the arc of its story being completed in my mind. They had done it: They had found a way all the way from the beginning to the end of this material, which is so fraught with peril, and never stepped wrong, not even at the end, when everything could have come tumbling down. “The Man in the Moon” is a wonderful movie, but it is more than that, it is a victory of tone and mood. It is like a poem.
“The Man in the Moon” is like a great short story, one of those masterpieces of language and mood where not one word is wrong, or unnecessary. It flows so smoothly from start to finish that it hardly even seems like an ordinary film. Usually I am aware of the screenwriter putting in obligatory scenes. I can hear the machinery grinding. Not this time. Although, in retrospect, I can see how carefully the plot was put together, how meticulously each event was prepared for, as I watched the film I was only aware of life passing by.
Reese fell into this role after she responded to a casting advert in a local paper – she thought it would be fun to try out as an extra in the film. She didn’t know she got the leading role until she was sent the script and noticed her character was on every page!
Reese Witherspoon: “I came in with such innocence, not seeing this as a debut performance but a wonderful summer job! I was so worried I was gonna get fired! It’s like, I’d better learn my lines and I’d better wake up early and be there early for the car to pick me up. I took it very seriously, but I also had a really good time.”
The Gallery has been updated with HD screencaptures from all the recent A Wrinkle In Time trailers, TV spots and featurettes. There are lots of new shots of Reese as Mrs Whatsit – the film looks like it’s going to be visually stunning! There are guaranteed to be a million more promotional videos in the next 6 weeks leading up to the films release on March 9th….
Here’s another batch of additional photos from 2018 events to date – this includes the SAG Awards and Producers Guild Awards. I really love both looks on Reese – the green SAG dress is so vibrant and different for her, and the Producers Guild dress is so pretty and feminine! Lots of great shots with Laura Dern at the SAGs, as well as screencaps of Reese cheering Nicole on during the show I think the SAG Awards might’ve marked the end of awards season for Big Little Lies – I don’t think there are any more major TV awards that will feature the show, so enjoy the cast photos from the SAGs! And congratulations once again to the cast and crew for their incredible awards season run and well deserved recognition!
Thanks again to our friend Sara for some of these photos. Have a browse…
Reese Witherspoon’s Second Act: Big-Time Producer From Oscar-winning actress to Emmy-winning producer: After taking charge of her career, she makes deals with HBO and Apple.
A few months ago, Reese Witherspoon realized everything had changed.
HBO’s glossy, seven-episode drama, “Big Little Lies” — which Ms. Witherspoon starred in and helped produce — won eight Emmy Awards, including the one for best limited series. From the Microsoft Theater stage in Los Angeles on Sept. 17, to swelling applause, Ms. Witherspoon spoke of how important it was to bring “women to the front of their own stories and make them the heroes of their own stories.”
Not long after that night, she found herself in demand.
“It opened a lot of doors for me,” Ms. Witherspoon said in an interview this past week. “People wanted to be in business with me as a producer in the TV space. My mission was to create television for other women, for other female storytellers that are actresses, other directors and other writers. I think it just clicked in people’s minds.”
Since then, Ms. Witherspoon has transformed herself from an actress increasingly frustrated with the roles she was being offered into a producer with a slate of projects that puts her in the company of series creators like Dick Wolf, Shonda Rhimes and Ryan Murphy.
Last month, HBO ordered a second season of “Big Little Lies,” with Ms. Witherspoon’s production company, Hello Sunshine, among the key companies behind the show. In addition, Apple has bought three Hello Sunshine projects as part of its push to compete with Netflix, Amazon and Hulu in streaming. That amounts to a third of Apple’s TV purchases to date.
One of the series — which is set to star Ms. Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston as hosts of a fictional morning news show — marks one of the most expensive deals in TV history: With a 20-episode commitment, Apple has pledged roughly $240 million to make it, according to two people familiar with the series. Ms. Witherspoon’s other two Apple projects will star Octavia Spencer and Kristen Wiig.
Apple’s top TV executives, Zack Van Amburg and Jamie Erlicht, said in a statement that Ms. Witherspoon had “an extraordinary knack for being a step ahead of the zeitgeist.”
The rise of Hello Sunshine — with projects centered on strong, complicated women — syncs up perfectly with the #timesup movement, which counts Ms. Witherspoon as a major player, and gives evidence that the risk-averse Hollywood establishment may have learned something from the blockbuster success of “Wonder Woman” last year.
“People are desperate for this kind of storytelling about the female heroes that have always been in the shadows and now are coming into the light,” Ms. Witherspoon said.
Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been gradually adding lots more photos from the 2018 events Reese has attended so far. In the first batch we have over 500 additional photos from the AFI Awards and the Golden Globe Awards and their after-parties – lots of fantastic Big Little Lies cast photos at the HBO After Party and in the Press Room! I love seeing the cast together … and Reese being honoured for her work as a producer Included are HD screencaptures from the Globes show itself. Big thanks to our friend Sara for some of these photos. Enjoy!
Just a small update today – I’ve replaced our Election film screencaptures with beautiful HD ones! This film is just as funny and smart and watchable now, 19 years after its release and after numerous watches, and it remains one of my favourite Reese films and performances. I really enjoy how it shows the perspectives of all different characters and does so in a balanced way – no-one is fully good or bad. A classic Reese performance! Enjoy the fantastic HD screencaptures.
More HD film screencaptures as well as additional HQ photos from recent appearances will be added soon…
“She’s approached her role without vanity, unlike many young American actors who get so concerned with how they look. It’s not about being pretty. She inhabited that role fully, but she can do all these other roles. You see a woman in her, not a girl. She’s going to be interesting for a long time.” – Alexander Payne (Election director)
