H’wood’s Julia Roberts claims “Leave The World Behind” her challenging project
Hollywood most popular actress Julia Roberts reveals that her new film “Leave The World Behind” premiered in London, is a multilayered disaster thriller in which she got the opportunity to essay someone very different from herself.
The film Executive produced by former US President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, is written and directed by Robot creator Sam Esmail and is based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Rumaan Alam.
It sees Roberts’ character Amanda, her husband and two children head on an impromptu holiday in a small Long Island town.
Their getaway is interrupted when a man and his daughter, played by Mahershala Ali and Myha’la Herrold, turn up on their doorstep claiming to be the owners of the upmarket residence and requesting to stay the night.
As tension builds amidst the two families, strange events start occurring around them and they find themselves under the same roof trying to make sense of the chaos outside.
The Hollywood star cherished the challenge of playing cynical advertising director Amanda. Merely the idea of playing someone who’s sort of intrinsically suspicious and a little prickly, not her nature, but to still make her human and approachable and likeable,
was interesting.
