Hollywood actress Zoe Saldana is having a pretty good run at the movies, with her films having earned $15 billion. However, the actress has shared that now she wants to try her hand at direction.
The actress expressed that, as a director, the genre of action films feels most appealing, reports 'Variety'. She said, "I've never seen a woman direct James Bond. I like 'The Equalizer'.". Well, I do watch some crime shows and so maybe someday in the future. I just always like heist themes; 'Heat' is a movie I need to watch at least once a year and analyze it - how Michael Mann just pairs it all together, the way everybody performed it. SO, I would love to start with an action-heist sort of thing." According to 'Variety', she further continued to say that she never boxes herself in. She said, "I can do anything. Just like Ang Lee did 'Sense and Sensibility', correct? I can also do a Jane Austen one day. You never know."
Her film 'Emilia Perez' has entered Toronto Film Festival with loads of awards-season buzz after conquering Cannes - where Saldana shared the best actress award with her co-stars Selena Gomez, Karla Sofía Gascon, and Adriana Paz - and the audacious Spanish language film from French director Jacques Audiard is making its Canadian premiere on Tuesday at the festival.
During the hour-long, sit-down conversation in a packed TIFF theatre, the 'Avatar' and 'Guardians of the Galaxy' star discussed it all, from her starring roles in some of the biggest box office films of all time, including James Cameron's 'Avatar' movies and the past two 'Avengers' movies, among others.
She said, "It's all the technology that Jim uses-in 'Avatar'-that gives way for the performer to take pride and priority over his or her entire performance. We're not lending our voices. We're not doing any of that. In 2009, Jim-as usual-was ahead of his time. He's a scientist at heart-so he's creating things that people need time to understand. He helped me to realize it was okay to be like that. And at the end of the day, it does not matter if people will get it.
