Anna Kendrick speaks at the Zurich Film Festival about her next directorial project, “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.” The “Babies” actress is promoting Lauren Miller Rogen’s film at the European premiere and also comments on the Netflix adaptation she is set to direct, based on Taylor Jenkins Reid’s best-selling novel. Kendrick says she is “over the moon” about the project, which was announced in June.
In separate coverage of her remarks, outlets describe a broader discussion that ranges beyond the directing news. The Hollywood Reporter frames her conversation as career-spanning, including reflections on other pop-culture projects and her experiences on set. Variety adds that Kendrick compares “Pitch Perfect” friendships to superhero team dynamics, referring to “Avengers” as an analogy. Across the interviews, the common focus remains Kendrick’s enthusiasm for directing, with additional remarks varying by outlet’s emphasis.
