Getting more serious, Roberts says of the film, “It is a romantic comedy. He plays my ex-husband. I think it’s so funny and George is so funny and George and I together, it’s probably going to be terrible because there’s too much potential for it to be great, it’ll just implode on it itself. I think that should be the commercial for the movie: ‘It’s probably going to be terrible.’ I’m so glad my publicist is on a plane right now.”
The actress also shares her thoughts on the debate between theatrical releases and streaming movies at home.
“I do think that nothing truly replaces being in the dark and just energetically having that experience with strangers, bringing that collective feeling together with people you don’t know,” she says.
“There’s something so unique and special about that, and it’s why we got into this business because of that feeling,” she continues. “I mean, my husband just took my two sons to a movie theatre to see ‘The Shining,’ which of course happened because I was out of town. Even when he texted me, I was like, ‘I’ve changed my mind. It’s too scary. Don’t take them there!’ And it scared them mightily and they loved it. And to have that experience in 2022, to watch a film that’s so outstanding and to be a teenager and to have that, it’s special.”

Was she trying to send a message? “I’ll leave it to everyone to decide for themselves,” Roberts says.
