Anya Taylor-Joy Asked Directors to Change Crying Scenes When Her Characters Were Actually ‘F—ing Pissed’ and ‘Angry’: ‘What Planet Are We Living On?’
Anya Taylor-Joy is tired of her characters having to cry during climactic emotional moments. She she pushed for female rage instead.
She’d do it again during the making of “The Menu” when the script called for her character to have a single tear rolling down her cheek when she discovers that her date has brought her to lavish private dinner with the intention of having her die. “It was Anya’s idea for Olga to douse her hand with her own menstrual blood before slapping Fjölnir in the face,” Eggers revealed, adding that he knew it was the right call because it was a “very strong, defiant and memorable choice.” In her latest project, George Miller’s “ Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” Taylor-Joy also lobbied to let out a scream during the filming of one scene.
