The Big Picture From director Lisa Steen and screenwriter Anna Greenfield, the comedy Late Bloomers follows Louise , a 28-year-old woman who finds herself adrift in romance and in life. When she drunkenly ends up breaking her hip, a stint in physical therapy puts her directly in the path of Antonina , an elderly Polish woman whose cantankerous nature easily crosses any language barrier that not speaking English might create.

This also felt like one of those stripped down character stories that would be pretty intimate to make because it’s a smaller budget without a huge crew and there probably weren’t a ton of people around. What did you most enjoy about the experience of actually making the film? GILLAN: Yeah, I’m absorbing all the things that I like about all the different directors that I work with. Lisa was incredibly impressive. It’s her first feature, but it certainly didn’t feel that way. She did not feel like she was under pressure. She wasn’t rubbing her eyes every time I asked her a question, which happens a lot with directors. She just really took it in her stride.

GILLAN: I think the key to that is that the audience needs to understand why the character is the way that they are. And then, you have the license. The audience will go with you on this journey of self-sabotage and doing things that are questionable, as long as they have empathy and understand. That’s my main quest that I’m on with every character, getting the audience to understand where they’re coming from in the way that a lawyer might.

It’s this injury that she experiences that brings Antonina into her life. What was it like to bring that relationship to life? How was the experience of finding that dynamic with your co-star, and do you have a favorite moment that you guys spent together? I also really love the moment that Louise sits down with her mother and sings a song to her. What was that like to shoot? Did you spend a lot of time rehearsing that, or do you not want to over rehearse that? How is it to figure out a moment like that?

Karen Gillan Sees Her Marvel Character Nebula as the Gift that Keeps on Giving You had a pretty incredible run with Nebula, getting to tell a full arc for that character and really go on a journey with her.

I know you’ve also said that you would be game for working with James Gunn again. Do you have a specific character in mind that you’re pitching yourself to him for, or is it just that you’re ready to accept a phone call from him, any time he decides to reach out? He’s somebody that comes back to a lot of the same actors and works with them again. Now that you’re directing, are you looking to amass your own little group of actors that you’d like to keep working with?
