Day Out of Days

Welcome to movie screens. Hi, I'm Brooke.

I'm here with the lovely and talented Mia Roarke.

Thanks for having me.

Well, thanks for coming on.

You must be so busy.

Listen, tell us about "Wild Sunset."

Okay, so, "Wild Sunset" is a movie I'm so proud of.

Um, it's a period piece, it's set in 1850 in America

and it's about a woman called Maggie, who I play

who is this incredibly complicated and conflicted woman

and who thinks her life is gonna look this way

and ends up having this life

and is forced into, um, appropriating

and-and-and, um, and-and she's forced into a life

that she just did not set out to have.

How much of you, how much of Mia really goes into your character?

What do you say?

Really, what I strive for in my work

is to just have a complete melding

between Mia and the character, so that you don't really know.

I don't really know who is who and that there's a fusion

between character and-and actor.

Okay, so you met Liam on set.

I did.

'What was that like working together?'

It was great.

I mean, he is just such a great actor

and you know, playing opposite someone like that

it's just, you know it's that old

uh, you know, it just raises the bar.

'But I see it over from over here'

is that an engagement ring?

'Oh, there it is. Okay! Well, no hiding it.'

'I saw it when you walked in, but I didn't wanna'

- 'I didn't wanna open with..' - So pretty.

'"Are you engaged?"'

So, um, listen, is it hard

for you to just suddenly be in the public eye?

You know, I-I don't see it that way and that's why being

with Liam has been so helpful because it's like

we're kind of going through this together

and sometimes I feel like we're the..

- It's us against the world. - 'Right.'

And-and that's just an incredibly safe and-and

beautiful feeling, to feel sort of cocooned in, you know..

- Yeah. - Alright, Mia.

Final question here and then

I'll let you out of the hot seat.

If you had a magic wand ten years from now

'where-where do we see you? What are you doing?'

Uh, if I had a magic wand ten years from now.

Well, I think I would be, I would definitely be living in

California and I would be with, uh, with Liam obviously.

and-and there'd be--

- 'Babies?' - Ba..

- You know, hopefully. Yeah. - 'Right.'

And, um, I'd be working or have worked with tons of interesting

people and been on incredible locations and had, you know

more amazing experiences like I had on "Wild Sunset."

- Hello? - 'Hi, can I speak to Mia?'

'I have Annabel on the line.'

Yeah, hey, no, it's me, it's Mia.

'I have great news for you.'

'I was at a party the other night and I was talking to'

'Dag Dunkerk's producer'

'and she told me Dag's doing a new film.'

'We had a great conversation about you'

'and she called me today. Dag wants to meet you.'

Really? Well, that is huge.

That's major. Annabel, I just.. I love his movies.

See, I told you that your way was the way to go.

'It's for the lead.'

'I think there are only three people in the whole movie.'

Okay, and did you read the scripts? Is it any good?

'I did read it.'

'I think it's definitely intriguing.'

'I-I didn't really understand it, to be honest'

'and I know it's gone to all the major actresses'

'and everyone's path.'

'There's a lot of hard core stuff involved.'

Okay, well, um, that sounds like it's perfect for me then.

Um, when does he wanna meet?

'He'll be in town this week.'

'I'll set it up if you like the script.'

Great. Okay.

'Noah, please send Mia the Dag Dunkerk's script.'

Okay, Annabel, thank you, and, um, I will call you

as soon as I read this. I'm really excited.

- 'It's on the way.' - Bye.

'Yeah, I know. Now-now is not the good time.'

I'm running at the door.

Yeah, you know, I'm just going this work thing.

Uh-huh. Yeah, but call me.

I-is everything okay?

Are you sure?

Alright, maybe I'll swing by later?

Alright. Bye, mom.

- Hello? - Ah! Finally.

Sit down, sit down.

Oh, okay.

I, um, I love this hotel.

'It seems like everyone stays here.'

What did you think about the script?

'Oh, I, um, I-I loved it. It's-it's-it's weird.'

I had to read it few times to figure out what was going on

but I, um, I-I, I loved it.

And did you...figured out?

'Oh, I think I have an interpretation.'

Okay. So, okay..

So, it's about this woman who has this recurring dream

and the dream is, it's vivid and it's strange

but it's also incredibly exciting and she starts

'to become obsessed with it.'

And then her waking life starts to seem dull and plain

and you know, disconnected by comparisons

so she, you know, starts to loose herself.

Which life is real? Which life isn't real?

'And she-she wants to dream life to be real, so she chooses'

'that and she surrenders to it with-with all her heart.'

But then, you know, she starts to seem

insane to the rest of her world, but she doesn't care.

She would rather live that way.

Which is impressive.

Most American actresses do not have imagination.

Oh, my God, It's a great script.

It's a great part, it's..

I wrote it about my wife. You look a little like her.

Oh. Okay, I didn't know that that was based on a true story.

If you mean, was I married to a woman who went insane? Yes.

You mean, she chose the other man.

Yes, I suppose she did.

Come.

'Come.'

Bring your drink.

You know what, maybe you think that she went insane

because you-you you'd rather accept that

than-than, than come to terms with the fact that

she fell in love with someone else.

- Do you suck cock? - Excuse me?

Do you suck cock?

Do you mean on camera?

All these prudish American actresses

will not show their tits, let alone their pussies.

You've already shown your tits, so I like this. This is strong.

Well, I have definitely.

You know, if it's an integral part of the story, I..

'Sex is always part of the story.'

Right.

You have sex, your life is a story.

Sex is part of the story.

It must be real. I need realism.

You know, when they fuck, it must be real.

- Oh! - I'm sorry.

- I was.. - No, it's okay.

Give me your hand.

Oh!

Come with me. Come with me.

- Come with me. - Where?

Come here.

- Ouch! - You're okay?

- Yeah. - Okay?

You see, Mia..

...you said to me there are certain things

you are not prepared to do, but to me, this is bullshit.

Aah!

No, thank you.

- I-- - Do you want to go to Cannes?

Do you want to get an Oscar nomination?

Do you want to have a comeback?

I think you do. I see it in your eyes.

You need it. You long for it again.

I love that desperation in you.

You know, this is beautiful.

And I can give it to you.

For actors like you this is your chance

and you can have it, but you must trust me

you must trust me, okay?

Okay, I need you to trust me on this.

And yes, things will be uncomfortable

very uncomfortable, and then you think, oh, what.

But then you use it, don't you?

You use it because life is uncomfortable.

You know that, you know that.

"The Fallen Queen," the jilted lover.

Yes? Take that pain, put it into the film. Yeah?

Be my muse. Be my muse, Mia, and it will be incredible.

- No. - No?

You're not willing to come, this is it.

Mia, this is it, you are not willing to trust me.

You are not willing to come on the adventure with me.

Yes? You gotta lose yourself.

- Now you gotta lose yourself-- - I am.

- You must lose yourself. - I am.

Yeah, no, no, you're not, you're resisting

because you are not willing to come on the adventure.

If you do not lose yourself, I cannot work with someone

who is not completely willing to become what I want her to be.

- Yes? Will you do this? - Yes.

- Will you do this? - Okay.
