Kristin Scott Thomas When she lost two fathers at the age of 11, she faced a tragedy. My mother’s wedding.

Scott Thomas, 65 US Weekly. “Everyone about me contains passages about my childhood tragedy, and I want to go back to adults and grandmother. I think this is what I want to say in this movie, that’s a horrible thing, but don’t stick with it.

Scott Thomas lost her father, the Royal Navy pilot, at the age of 6. Her mother later remarried and another Royal Navy pilot would continue to serve in five years. This experience – and the subsequent public scrutiny – led to Christine writing on her mother’s wedding, directly with the stars. Family drama follows three sisters (Scarlett Johnson,,,,, Emily Beecham and Sienna Miller) cautiously attended the third wedding of his mother (Scott Thomas) who attended the two weddings.

My mother’s wedding is in the theater now. Here, Scott Thomas tells us More information about how she drew from her own tragedy, her experience working with a strong actress and more:

US Weekly: How do you choose which parts of the movie to keep your life real and what to make up?

Kristin Scott Thomas: The only bit that is really correct is the bit in the animation sequence. These are my memories and I gave this movie. The rest were invented. So, in fact, it was great to be able to participate in these events of me as a little man and then create another story around it. Not my story, a different story. It’s really exciting to create a different world.

us: Why is it important to do such a female-driven project?

KST: What I am studying is the importance of men in our lives, especially the characters of fathers. I think this is what I’m reading without teaching. Just say, “Look, you really matter” because we talk about maternity and things like that, but it’s also important to understand the absence and presence of male elements in women’s lives. ”I want to see.

us: How will you describe each daughter when we first meet them in the story?

KST: I always like to say that these three daughters are in a romantic chaos. It was disastrous, their romantic life, and they were a little ridiculed because their 60s mother spent her time in her life. You know, she was so happy, everything was fine, and then they were a little disappointed with her choice because they felt he wasn’t as good as his father. So you know, “Why did she be downgraded?”

us: Do you agree with the most?

KST: To be honest, we are the Hi pies, and the actors are the Hi pies. We have a little bit here, we have a little bit there, we have stole it, we have stole it. And I think many of the characters I wrote about may reveal me. But I don’t want to say where or how! [laughs] and [my] The role of mother Diana is my goal as a mother. I would love to be that kind, kind and wise thing.

us: Why are Emily, Sienna and Scarlett the right three actresses to play your screen daughter in this movie?

KST: I’ll start with Emily. I’ve been watching her for several years. She is an extraordinary presence in the movie, she is so original/no one else is like her. There was this incredible, a little transparent on her face. You can see every thought floating like a cloud. She is really great, very sensitive, very creative. Sienna, for me, when I wrote it, I said, “It has to be Sienna Miller.” Because I knew Sienna would be an actress in the spotlight and somehow amused. I knew she would like that, even if I had never seen her. So when I asked her to do this, I was glad, and she immediately said yes. Then there is Scarlett, who is a big shot in the dark because I’m looking for someone with authority and vulnerability. …I want someone who can play with character and determination and vulnerability. Scarlett, I just thought, “She can do it. She is not in English. But she can play in English! So I called her.

us: This is Scarlett’s third time playing your daughter. She was a wife over the years, and how has your relationship changed with her over the years [to husband Colin Jost] With mom?

KST: This is because I first met her when I was 12 years old. When I met her she was a little girl and now a super powerful woman with a wonderful career and a beautiful family. She is great. She is really great. She is a very role power, but I really appreciate her because it’s easy to go in any direction, it’s her teammate and how she’s quickly stuck with everyone else and keep going. Very good.

us: You are also reunited with four weddings and one funeral with cost and screen brothers, James Fleetwho plays your new husband. Someone joked that you marry your siblings?

KST: No, thank goodness! I’m happy about it. He is great. James Fleet, he really is. He played my husband in another drama we did years ago. He has been in my mind all the time.

us: Speaking of four weddings and funerals, that movie, like my mother’s wedding, really balances marriage with comedy with tragedy well. What did that movie teach you about doing for this movie?

KST: I think what I learned from four weddings and things like that is sad, something interesting can get married, it can be very, very good in one story, one proves the other. I think that’s what I’m going to capture. For example, as far as my character is concerned at four weddings, it was a fun and sad moment when she announced her love for the character played by Hugh Grant. Everyone had a great time and then suddenly whipped the carpet from under their feet. And, “Oh no, that’s really sad!” So, I like to spin as an audience. I love being amazed by the sorrow from comfort to the heartbreaking sorrow. That’s what I really like.

us: I know you met King Charles III several times. Have you ever talked to him about how your four wedding characters marry him?

KST: No, I don’t – maybe I should mention it next time!
