Julia Roberts, Sissy Spacek in co-starring in & # 039; Homecoming & # 039;
Julia Roberts and Sissy Spacek, two great and smiling legends of the big screen, remembered the first time they met.
It was when Roberts, then 13 years old, made a trip to New York to visit his older brother, actor Eric Roberts, who was doing "Raggedy Man" in 1981 with Spacek and her husband, production designer Jack Fisk.
"I always claimed it," Spacek said in his bright Texas accent in a September interview with Roberts. "I met her when I was 13. It was part of me! Look what you are!"
The fact that their meeting, many decades later, appears on the small screen explains how much has changed in the intervening years. The Amazon series "Homecoming", a psychological thriller directed by Sam Esmail ("Mr. Robot"), has attracted a lot of attention because it is the first foray into television with a screenplay by Roberts, the epitome of the megawatt of a movie star, if there ever was one. Roberts stars in the series, which opens on Friday, and Spacek plays his mother.
A long time ago, their experience together proved to be useful.
"Thank God I met Sissy when she was 13 because when she came in we all had to pinch ourselves," says Roberts, to which Spacek complains: "Come on!"
"It's horrible to talk like that in front of a person, but you have to do it," Roberts continues, unperturbed. "You sit there at a certain point like, 'Oh God, that's Sissy Spacek right next to me.' Fortunately, the first scene we did on the couch, I never looked at her."
The two laughed and a couple of the most contagious laughter you've ever heard echo in the room.
"She's being very nice," says Spacek.
"I'm just being honest," Roberts replies. "Trust me, I'm not that nice."
"Homecoming", dense and paranoid, is based on a fictional podcast. Roberts plays a case worker at a remote military facility apparently designed to help soldiers reintegrate into civilian life. But fear hangs over the mysterious program, a sense that is only driven by the scenes of Roberts' character living with his mother and having only fuzzy memories of his past.
"I grew up watching television and then there's a whole period of my life where television just was not on my radar," says Roberts. "For my arrival in the film, the two things I felt were absolutely critical to be able to do this, just because of the way my creative mind works: I wanted Sam to direct all the episodes and I wanted all the scripts before I started shooting I can not read a map only one small section at a time. "
"Sparkly!" Settles Spacek. Spacek says deciphering one's place in a long-format series without the complete image is like being the bird in the children's book: "Are you my mom? Are you my mom?"
A naturalistic element of cinema in the 70s ("Badlands", "Carrie"), in the 80s ("The Coal Miner's Daughter", for which he won an Oscar) and in the 90s ("The Straight Story"), 68 Spacek has ventured more frequently on television. Her credits include "Big Love" by HBO, "Bloodline" by Netflix and "Castle Rock" by Hulu, and she is a veteran of television.
"It used to be on the day when, if you were a movie actor, you did not make television, and if you did, things were not so good," says Spacek. "And all that has changed, and I love that, the veil has risen, it's just where there's a great job."
In many ways, they are a suitable couple: Roberts, a native of Georgia, and Spacek, raised in East Texas, who lives on a farm in Virginia with Fisk, has done some of his best work in more rural settings. In the case of Roberts: "Erin Brockovich" (his Oscar winner) and "August: Osage County".
But Roberts recognizes that "Homecoming" is far from being a typical project for her.
"As much as on paper, you would say that Sissy and I would connect, Sam and I on the paper are not even on the same planet, and yet, it was my instant relationship with Sam," says Roberts, who credits Esmail with the casting of spacek. "Sissy was the fence swing, could it ever happen? I guess Sam just talked to you."
"He pulled me off my feet," says Spacek. "But you were the ..."
"Carrot Dangly," Roberts finishes, with a smile.
Neither Roberts nor Spacek have withdrawn in any way from the movies. This fall, Roberts co-stars with Lucas Hedges in the addiction drama "Ben Is Back," and Spacek plays alongside Robert Redford in "The Old Man & the Gun."
"Geez, when do you never work?" Roberts asks his co-star.
"You know, you have to hit while the iron is hot!" Answer a cheerful Spacek. "I stayed a bit ragged there for a while, but when these opportunities come, you have to take them."
