Saoirse talks about Ryan Gosling

Saoirsehas said that Ryan Gosling will be a “great” director because he is in tune with his work. The actress is set to play one of the leading roles in the upcoming film “How To Catch a Monster”, which Gosling will be directing.

The Irish actress stars in his directorial debut – the fantasy noir How To Catch A Monster – alongside Christina Hendricks, Eva Mendes and Matt Smith, which has started filming in Detroit, Michigan.

“I know he’s going to be a great director because I’ve talked to him and I know his ideas. He wrote the script, which is fantastic, and with each draft you can see it’s really come on and you can see where he wants the story to go.”

Saoirse, who is also continuing her successful streak with a leading role in Wes Anderson’s upcoming film The Grand Budapest Hotel, is already a big fan of Ryan’s work and the choices he has made in his career. “I think you can tell by the choices he makes as an actor that he very much respects the story in the film and strong characters. He could have easily picked a bunch of blockbusters films over Blue Valentine and Drive but he didn’t and because he’s so great and was working with great people he made really great films and I think that’s something that’s important to him.”

Saoirse talks about working with Ryan Gosling

Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter while promoting her latest project, Stephenie Meyer’s The Host, Saoirse couldn’t reveal details about her character in the upcoming film, How To Catch a Monster, but says she is looking forward to working with Gosling – who is going to be directing it.

“I think it’s going to be very experimental, I think Ryan is going to be very supportive as a director, just because he’s an actor as well and he gets it. From what he’s been telling me about the approach he wants to take, he wants us to really discover these characters ourselves and use our imaginations to create these characters. He’s already written great characters on the page, but he wants us to develop those even more as people. I like that he’s put so much trust in his actors to do that. I think it’ll be really fun and really cool.”
