A Monster Calls

Sigourney Weaver chats about her latest film, A Monster Calls, and the central story behind it. She says the film's themes are relatable and calls her character "rather forbidding in the beginning." Sigourney also says the cast gathered for a table read, which is "uncommon these days," and reveals that she and Felicity Jones visited hospices to learn about the last stages of cancer. She touches on director J.A. Bayona's appeal, how the story reminds her "of the toughness of old fairy tales," and how she learns something new from the film with each viewing.
