really do, on a lot of different levels. Great to go out to dinner and have a drink with. Or two. Very funny guy. And really bright and really aware. A fantastic filmmaker: a great sense of timing, he cares about the right things. And an amazing writer, which is a huge asset as a director."
Another huge asset: patience. "It's hard to discuss things, in a neutral matter, in the breaks between a scene in which you're screaming," Connelly says. "To then in between, go, [in a low, calm voice] 'Okay, now that take was really--' No. It was a little more like, [loudly and frantically] 'Terry, I just don't know, I just don't know!!' And he was always so cool about everything. 'Okay, okay, that's cool, it's okay.' I was just all the time saying, thank you, so much, for being so patient and understanding and tolerant of all of us." For Connelly, Reservation Road is one more in a long list - with no exceptions in the last few years - of heavy, dark dramas. (Heck, even The Hulk was uncommonly heavy and contemplative). "I've certainly done many more dramas, though certainly a film like Blood Diamond is a very different kind of mood than this, I think," she says. "I like dramas, and I just sort of pick the things I've responded to. It's a combination of what I've responded to and what people respond to me for, I think. You know, what people let me do."

Ginnifer Goodwin plays my best friend, and Bradley Cooper plays my husband, who's a bit of a louse. And I've got scenes with Luis Guzman, who I'm really excited to work with. [My character's] a little bit neurotic. I think it's a really sweet story." Sweet story it may be, but Connelly's been only working on it for three days so far, she explains, and steers the conversation back to Reservation Road. Apparently, she seems more comfortable talking about the dark and depressing. "I'm really obsessive about work, much to the shagrin of the people who live with me," she says. "I kind of have a hard time not thinking about it, no matter what it is. Like this comedy, now. No matter what it is, I'm just really into my work." And yet, her work seems to make her content. On Reservation Road, for example, thanks to the ... |
