It is being directed by Greta Gerwig and filming will take place in London over the course of four months or so. So I told them that you probably don’t want to do that, because maybe you don’t want to go to London.” I replied something like: “What?! What do you mean? Call them back.” He doesn’t like to back down, he told me, “I already lowered my expectations by saying that you could refuse.” So I said, “How could I not? I have to do it’.
