Someone on IMDB, posted a message on the official Greta IMDB page and claimed that he had written to the writer of the film, Michael Gilvary, and that the write had some pretty nice things to say about Hilary Duff, who stars in the movie.
He posted the reply that he got from Michael, which you can see here: ![]()
“Hilary is an absolute delight. I didn’t get to spend a whole lot of time with her. I was only on set for a few days, and the writer is really not supposed to discuss the story or the actor’s performance with the actor. That’s the director’s job. So I introduced myself to her and then generally kept my distance. But she was very sweet to me nonetheless. And very cool and very professional. This was a tiny production and she did not have a lot of the perks she’s used to having. But she never complained about it. She was totally fine with it.
The first day of filming, we were towing a car around town for a long scene. Every time we came around, there would be more Hilary fans lining the streets to get a glimpse of her. They would chase the car and scream her name, and they ruined a number of takes. And the production was so small, that we didn’t have the manpower to wrangle all those kids out of the way (by the next day, we hired a bunch of security guys to take care of it). Hilary felt very bad that her fans were ruining the shot, but the producer didn’t mind, because he knew all those fans would want to see the movie. And we were able to get the shot in the can anyway.”
For the rest of the letter, you can check it out here.
That was pretty sweet! I’m sure Hilary is a dream to work with because she just seem so sweet. It’s interesting that IMDB hasn’t yet changed the name of the film from Greta to According to Greta. Maybe they’re just late to the party! Anyways, I don’t know about you guys, but I’m pretty excited to see the movie. With such a serious theme like that, it’ll be interesting to see Hilary pull it off, which she surely will.
