Meg Ryan on Writing and Directing Her First Rom-Com, Trio of Upcoming Projects and Life in Hollywood After 60: ‘I Am the Luckiest Person’
The rom-com icon opened up about writing, directing and starring opposite David Duchovny in 'What Happens Later,' and her 'charmed' life in Hollywood.
Ryan is appearing at the Bosnian fest to receive a lifetime achievement award and to present her latest film, “What Happens Later,” a romantic comedy that she directed, wrote and executive produced, and in which she stars opposite David Duchovny as ex-lovers who find themselves stranded by a snowstorm. Tuesday’s masterclass, moderated by Academy Award-winning Bosnian director Danis Tanović (“No Man’s Land”), opened with a clip of the iconic deli scene in “When Harry Met Sally,” which drew no less an enthusiastic response from the Sarajevo audience as it has throughout the 35 years since its release. Her second film, “When Harry Met Sally,” was the first of a trio of career-defining roles in romantic comedies — including “You’ve Got Mail” and “Sleepless in Seattle” — written by the late, great Nora Ephron, who Ryan praised for her “way of creating an environment to bring out the best in people.”
