Quote

Like I've known Francis [For Coppola] for so long I think, Oh, Francis. And then you see his name on something with The Godfather, and you go, Oh, yeah. He's also that. The person you knew of before you met the actual person.

Basically, Beautiful Creatures was the first lead that I had since Tetro, and it was a lesson in seeing what it's like to film a movie that's of a much bigger scale. It was a good initiation.

Image
I've had that experience many, many, times - when you don't get roles. I'd developed a good muscle for shaking it off.

Image
[Howard Hughes ] approached filmmaking like he approached all of his inventiveness - it gave him an opportunity to make a name for himself in the world.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
[The Coen brothers] hire the same people over and over again, so there's a shorthand between all of the people they're working with.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
You do need these people to go out on a limb for you, thinking you're right for a role rather than having box office numbers.

Image
[ Being director] is really reassuring to me that it's just about who is right for that role and less about if you ace the audition. It's just about getting to know people, not about who's a better actor a lot of the time. It's about who fits that particular suit, you know?

It's a little bit about how I felt about Hail, Caesar! and now Star Wars. I could not have predicted those things happening to me. But I'm just happy they come along.

Image
[Warren's Beatty] first film being with this very important director [Elia Kazan], I think we related on that in a big way. And I just was genuinely curious about his experiences in film, and about the people he knew.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
Acting-wise, I've had all these experiences. Yet when I look at certain people whose careers I admire, they've gotten to play so many different characters. So it's just that - getting to have more of these singular little adventures where you get to be a part of a completely different world.

It was pretty fun [auditioning on the Millennium Falcon], because I enjoyed the material a lot. Last year I read for the directors, then came to England and did a test on the Falcon, then came back and did a couple more screen tests in Los Angeles.

Even when Warren [Beatty] cast me, it had been two years between films at that point.

That's a lot more legitimate than the retail therapy I do.

Image
One of the big takeaways from that experience [in Blue Jasmin] was just what a thrill it was to act with somebody like Cate Blanchett operating on that caliber. Because what she was doing was very powerful. T

That is sort of the eternal question for people who go to Hollywood...what will be the straw that breaks the camel's back, and forces you to think about doing something else? When do you throw in the towel?

I did my first film with Francis Ford Copploa which spoiled the hell out of me.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
When you work for the Coens, they are so fun and so organized. They treat everyone with such respect. And the character I got to play was so fun.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
But even a kid, directing was something that I did. I made short films in school. I feel like I've been in the best film school in the world.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
So many times you can't get a foot in the door unless you're already in the room.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
I remember Tetro was a big deal to me at that time. It was going from zero to one: Never having been in a movie, a person who had no relationship to any of that, and that was my first movie.

[ Woody Allen] persona in the films are so iconic it's like on par with Groucho Marx or something like that.
