The movie, inspired by John Cassavetes’ Gloria, features Swinton in the lead role as a woman who kidnaps a young boy in hopes of ransoming him for a large amount of money. Below, read her comments, and watch the trailer for the film.
In the Reddit AMA, Swinton said,
Here’s the trailer for Julia, which is indeed a good film, an eccentric, all-in thriller which features a dominating performance from Swinton. It’s an atypical performance from her, though one might well say that Tilda Swinton’s defining characteristic is that she does not give “typical” performances.
Making films is such a long drawn out business.. there is the preparation (after the pre-preparation.. which can be years) and then we shoot, cut and look for distribution. I made a film with Erick Zonca called JULIA of which I am extremely proud: in the United States it had a very small release by a great little and passionate distribution company called Magnolia.. but there was only so wide they could release it.. PLEASE look for that one.. it is something else.. and I LOVE it.
