Director and Actor Greta Gerwig discussed how she didn’t believe that Noah Baumbach’s new film ‘White Noise’, where she plays the role of Babetter, would ever get made, but now the film hits theaters on December 2nd in the United Kingdom courtesy of A24.
‘White Noise’ will complete it’s theater run and then head to Netflix on December 30th.
“I had a sense of what she was meant to look like. I saw her hair, her acrylic nails, her wardrobe. I just could visualize all of it, and I wanted very much to play her,” Gerwig said, during an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
“Then, I think, because we were in the height of lockdown when he was writing it [in early 2020], and starting to dream about this, nothing felt real, so the prospect of doing this was all imaginary in a way,” she continued. “Like, sure, it’s me, in this world that doesn’t exist. I can’t even leave the apartment. I might as well not play Babette, too! And then it became real.”
According to the official synopsis: “College professor Jack Gladney and his family’s comfortable suburban life is upended when a nearby chemical leak causes “The Airborne Toxic Event,” releasing a noxious black cloud over the region that forces the Gladney family to evacuate.”
