Penélope Cruz says playing an aspiring detective in new monster movie The Bride helped her "express a lot of rage" – and that she was so desperate for the role, she called writer-director Maggie Gyllenhaal from the sidelines of her son's football game.
"I remember when I read it, because then I had to go quickly with my son to a football training, and I called from the football training," Cruz recalls to GamesRadar+. "I will always remember it, because I said, 'You've written an incredible script, and I hope you know that.' I felt very grateful that she was offering me that character. I loved Myrna and it was a pleasure to play her."
