I would not have had the confidence to direct this film 10 years ago.”
“Which isn’t to say that I don’t often think many times: What the hell am I doing?” she adds. “I have that feeling, still. Certainly doing ‘Jurassic,’ I had many moments where I was like: Am I the right person for this? Is this working? But I just recently saw it and the movie works.”So does “Eleanor the Great,” which Sony Pictures Classics will release at some future date. That’s owed significantly to the performance of Squibb, who, at 95, experienced a Cannes standing ovation alongside Johansson.“Something I’ll never forget is holding June in that moment,” says Johansson. “The pureness of her joy and her presence in that moment was very touching, I think for everyone in theater. Maybe my way of processing it, too, is through June. It makes it less personal because it’s hard for me to absorb it all.”
Some parts of “Eleanor the Great” have personal touches, though. After one character says he lives in Staten Island, Squibb’s character retorts, “My condolences.”“Yeah, I had to apologize to my in-laws for that,” Johansson, who is married to
said laughing. “I was like: Believe it not, I didn’t write that line.”
