Were you disappointed that The Hitchhik er’s Guide to the Galaxy never got further than the first film? Did you enjoy playing Trillian ? AWS19 It was fun looking through the camera, but I was more excited about going for a doughnut. When he was doing It Could Happen to You, Bridget Fonda was very nice and talked to me, but when I was little I wouldn’t know who anyone was, unless it was Mickey Mouse. If you’re not working on them, it’s not that exciting watching the same thing happening over and over. Were the films as magical behind the scenes? MarkFilmgoer

Your dad is the celebrated cinematographer Caleb Deschanel, so I’m guessing that you grew up on the sets of famous movies. When he contacted me through his manager, I thought someone was pranking me and I asked my agents: “Can you find out if this is really Prince’s manager?” I recorded the song for the show, but when he said they would put it out I was like: “What? A single with Prince?!” It was a pinch-myself moment. I know he watched New Girl on the tour bus. You performed Fallinlove2nite with him in the 2014 episode, but was he aware of She & Him? McScootikins Given his enigmatic ways, it still seems amazing that Prince contacted you to make a guest appearance on New Girl.

‘There were a lot of improvised moments’ … Deschanel as Jess in New Girl. The nice thing about that cast was that everyone could do it. As an actor, it helps to open up the dialogue and often, even though you’re saying words on a page, you’re improvising around them. We had such great writers, but we had freedom and there were a lot of improvised moments. New Girl was fantastic, with a great cast. The more screen time a female character gets, the more space there is to show complexities, but there has been a shift, so I’m optimistic. I think the tendency is still to make women one-dimensional, so you have to add dimension, if you can. It doesn’t hurt my feelings, but it’s a way of making a woman one-dimensional and I’m not one-dimensional.Īre you getting fewer roles as a manic pixie dream girl – and have positive changes such as #MeToo shifted Hollywood away from female tropes? Njord How do you feel about being labelled as the manic pixie dream girl? Callummcfadden ‘People want the characters to be together’ … Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel in 500 Days of Summer. To anyone who thinks Summer is the villain, I say: think a little deeper. He is fixated on external details – such as her liking the Smiths – that has nothing to do with who she is as a person. The most telling scene is when she tells him: “I’ve never told anybody that before,” and he makes it about himself. She is upfront that she doesn’t want a relationship, but he ignores her.

People want the characters to be together, but that not happening makes the movie interesting. Is this indicative of a wider societal attitude, where any strong female character attracts negativity? Crouchymg10 With the film 500 Days of Summer, people often cast Summer as almost villainous for her (understandable) rejection of Tom. We narrowed it down by sending songs back and forth and digging into the melancholy side, which is such a wonderful contrast to how people perceive the Beach Boys. Pet Sounds is a masterpiece, but I really love later albums such as Surf’s Up or Sunflower, which get less attention but have really interesting songs. What is your favourite Beach Boys album and how did you narrow down which songs you covered? Sweetdarlin44
