In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Rebecca Hall spoke about returning to Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and reuniting with director Adam Wingard. “I really love working with Adam,” she said. “The thing is, I completely trust him as a filmmaker, because he has a very singular vision, even down to how he always likes to do pink and blue lighting, kind of warring with each other. It’s very specific, and that always makes me feel calm, because I think that when a director has that sort of vision and understanding of their aesthetic, they know what they want, and then you know that whatever you might offer them up, they’re going to make it right in the edit,” the actress explained.
“But, the other reason I love working with Adam is you get all that for free. You get this belief that he has a sense of what the film’s going to be, but you also get to have a really good time on set, because he has this exuberance that is just intoxicating,” Hall continued. “He does have an inner 10-year-old, and he’s there all the time watching everything. He directs with that enthusiasm, and you know you’ve done well, because you can hear him chuckling. [LAUGHS] That’s really the best indicator. I mean, forget the notes. It’s like, ‘Is he chuckling or is he not chuckling?’ Then, I know I’m fine. I just love working with him. I think he’s great,” she further added.
