Laura Dern , Liam HemsworthIn a series of recent interviews, Hollywood stars Laura Dern and Liam Hemsworth have shared their profound experiences working together on the Netflix romantic drama, "Lonely Planet." The film, which portrays the intricate romance between reclusive novelist Katherine Loewe and young finance manager Owen Brophy, was set against the picturesque backdrop of a Moroccan writer’s retreat.
Laura Dern, 57, has expressed immense gratitude for having Hemsworth as her co-star, describing him as "the safest person" she could collaborate with. "By the time we were doing those scenes, there was nothing we couldn’t talk about together and work out creatively, professionally, all of that," Dern mentioned in an interview with People. She highlighted the importance of discussion and support on set, which was facilitated by the presence of an intimacy coordinator, ensuring both actors felt comfortable and secure.
Liam Hemsworth, 34, echoed Dern’s sentiments, adding that filming "Lonely Planet" was an immersive experience that strengthened their on-screen chemistry and off-screen friendship. He noted that shooting in the vibrant and bustling markets of Marrakesh helped them become "completely immersed" in their roles, sometimes making them unaware of the cameras around.
The movie also stands out as a testament to the evolving nature of filmmaking, where setting boundaries and maintaining comfort during intimate scenes has become a norm. This modern approach, as Dern emphasized, allows actors to be more vocal about their needs without the fear of repercussions.
While Dern and Hemsworth have completed filming "Lonely Planet," the actress hinted at the possibility of a sequel, reflecting her satisfaction and the bond formed during production. As fans eagerly await the film’s release, Dern and Hemsworth's experiences highlight a positive shift in Hollywood towards safer and more inclusive filmmaking practices.
