TATIANA MASLANY: He’s so much fun to work with for so many reasons.
He has such a kind of childlike imagination.

He’s so excited by making films.
He really is infectious in that way.
He hires people who are amazing at their jobs and don’t necessarily have a thousand credits.
I felt this sense of, Oh, things are possible.
Making work with people who are kind and freaky is possible.
We can make cool stuff.

So, it was a no-brainer for me to get to do another thing with him.

Oh, I don’t blame you.
MASLANY: I think it’s that dexterity.

It’s like, is it able to shift and grow and change?
Revere the trope, explore or explode it.
Im going to think about that often!
Maslany will star opposite Rossif Sutherland.
You mentioned the idea that Oz finds these wonderful weirdos, and you all get to make movies together.
I will preface this by saying I know it’s an unfair question.
MASLANY: Mica Kayde, who’s the costume designer, is astonishing.
She is so smart.
She has such incredible character-building ability.
She doesn’t think inside the box at all, but she could do that if asked to.
I can see Lois.
There’s a different thing going on here than just myself.
That’s always a gift as an artist.
I always love hearing about an actor who has an aha moment when finding a new character.
MASLANY: Early conversations with Oz were helpful in sort of guiding it.
There are always moments.
Or even the first thing I think I shot was teaching the dance class to the senior citizens.
MASLANY: I said nothing to Christian.
Christian had it so in the bag.
There didn’t seem to be a second of question.
He was so good.
They’re so good in the movie.
Then its like, Wait a minute…
He was so easy with it.
It was kind of infuriating.
MASLANY:Green Bankis just an amazing script and Josh is such a great director.
He’s so hilarious.
Jasmin is such a talent.
She’s so amazing.
So yeah, I’m so excited about that project.
The Monkeyis in theaters beginning February 21.
