Selena Gomez shares her reaction to getting her part of Jessi Del Monte in Emilia Perez
But the 46-year-old Avatar star still had to audition for her role as a lawyer who works for a Mexican drug lord in the musical movie Emilia Perez which is already getting Oscar buzz.The star made those comments during the 47th Mill Valley Film Festival in San Rafael, California on Saturday.
Both Zoe and Saldana have been entered into the Emilia Perez Oscar campaign alone with the star of the movie, Karla Sofía Gascón. And she said she didn't know what to make of the movie at first as it was sold as an 'opera.' But she was very interested in being a part of the 'experiment.' She added: 'And it all came out in the form of these dances and songs because there are her thoughts.'
She then read her note which covered how she knew the movie would be 'special' and she loved the 'power of women, the power of love and the power of hope' of the movie. The premise is: 'In Mexico, a lawyer receives an unexpected offer to help a feared cartel boss retire from his business and disappear forever by becoming the woman he's always dreamed of being,' per IMDB.
The project eventually won the Jury Prize during the festival, while the female ensemble won the Best Actress award. 'She has to help a feared cartel boss retire from his business and disappear forever by becoming the woman he's always dreamed of being.'
