“I get in trouble all the time. If you don’t want to get in trouble you’re never going to get anything done or changed.' - Emma Thompson
If you want to understand why the number of female directors, cinematographers, studio heads and screenwriters remains so maddeningly low, all you have to do is ask the only woman — and the only person — who has won Oscars for acting and screenwriting.
Wise is, in fact, wearing swim trunks and “Hannah” is comedian Hannah Gadsby, whom Thompson famously befriended after one of Gadsby’s shows in Edinburgh.Now she appears to be staying at Thompson’s rental. Because, you know, Emma Thompson is the bomb, and that’s all there is to that. Yet Thompson has always been very much her own self — outspoken, political, continually present in public conversations about a wide range of topics including urban development, public education, the environment, equal pay , Brexit and climate change. She has been known to tell female costars to not lose weight, and threatened to quit a production if pressure were put on an actress to do so.
It is very much a catered-entertainment house, with three enormous public rooms on the first floor and a lot of big art clearly chosen to match the color palette. Not quite what Thompson and Wise had expected, but they’d been working apart for six months, she says, and when she came to L.A. for “Late Night,” she decided they needed a long visit. And “the backyard is lovely.”
In this case, Thompson’s politics play right into her next big project. In “Late Night,” she stars as a late-night host whose show has gone stale in part because its writers room is, as it’s ever been, filled with white men.Thompson’s first reaction to discovering Kaling wrote the part with Thompson in mind was anxiety: “If you’ve written something for someone it’s often a mistake.” That feeling was quickly assuaged by the actual script. “I just thought it was wonderful,” Thompson says.
Thompson is not a woman who is afraid to show anger. During a wide-ranging conversation, her voice rises when she talks about the complaint that increased attention to sexual harassment has left men unsure of how to behave: “Get a grip guys, it’s not rocket science. You just behave with respect and courtesy. Now shut up and get on with it. And please don’t make this your … problem. I’m so fed up with that I just want to smack them.
“Wherever you are, there’s always something you can be doing different and it’s usually about communication with the people on the ground. You have to talk to the people who are not paid very much and find out what is going on with them.”
