Quotes:  On filming Incendiary

• "Last April I was over in London doing a movie called Incendiary with Ewan McGregor. It’s about a woman grieving after losing her husband and son in a terrorist attack. It was a brutal role and arduous: six-day weeks, 14 hour-days. I was like the walking dead towards the end. Matilda would visit me everyday on-set for lunch and I’d race home to put her to bed. My only days off were Sundays and as much as I’d want to pass out, I’d try to take her out somewhere fun so she didn’t associate me with boredom. The only time that is really my own these days is after I’ve put her to bed and until I go to bed. That’s about two hours."

Quotes:  On Michelle Williams

•  It could get lost as just another drama about terrorism, but if you have any sense in you, then you will be sure to keep an eye out for Incendiary — as Michelle Williams’ is one of the best performances you will see this time of year.

 

Trivia
