I know you said you initially wrote this book for your mother, so what was the experience
00:04
like watching this movie for the first time, knowing how personal it was to you?
00:09
Well, I watched it for the first time sitting next to her, so that was extremely nerve-wracking
00:14
going into it, hoping that she loved it, and she cried the whole way through it.
00:19
You know, we hugged for a long time afterward.
00:21
It was just a very full-circle moment.
00:24
I know casting this movie as well, a lot of praise for Blake Lively in this role.
00:30
What makes her the right choice to lead this film?
00:32
Oh my gosh, she's just so talented, and such a woman's woman, and such a mother, and seeing
00:39
her with her kids, and then in this role, it's such a good depiction of a mother loving
00:46
her daughter, and so I just feel like from her own experiences and her own talent, there's
00:52
no one that would have been more perfect.
00:54
She's so good.
00:55
I know this story obviously deals with a lot of heavy themes.
00:59
Was there a particular scene that you discussed in depth that was hard to work through?
01:05
Oh gosh, this whole movie is, you know, you want to walk the line very carefully.
01:11
You don't want to do it wrong, and so I really appreciated how everyone on the set sought
01:18
so much feedback, and were very open to anyone who would give their feedback, and also just
01:25
reaching out to certain organizations.
01:27
I know Justin did that quite a bit to get feedback and advice on the film and the script,
01:33
and in the editing room, you know, just all of the care and love that went into those
01:38
delicate scenes, like I couldn't have been happier with the hands that this movie landed
01:43
in.
01:44
I know the fans want to know, are we going to be getting an It Starts With Us movie?
01:49
I hope so.
01:51
Unfortunately, that's not up to me.
01:53
They own those rights, so if they want to make it, I'm all for it.
01:56
I hope so.
01:57
Any dream cast for your next screen adaptation for Verity?
02:01
Listen, we are discussing casting next week, and so I need to get on that, because right
02:07
now they're all just blurs in my head, but I'm just so excited that one's starting to
02:13
take off, and we've got the script done, and that one's going to be so much fun.
