Louis Garrel worked under the direction of Greta Gerwig in 2019’s Little Women and shared credits with many great actors, something that the French star was seemingly intimidated by initially.
The film adaptation of the Louisa May Alcott novel starred Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, Laura Dern, Timothée Chalamet, Meryl Streep, Tracy Letts, Bob Odenkirk, James Norton, Chris Cooper, among others.
Garrel is recalling his time on the set of the Gerwig film and feeling stressed and telling The Independent, “I am the most anxious French guy you can meet. Believe me, I want to be more brave than I am. I am… what do you say? Effrayé they say in French… a scared guy.”
The actor said that it was his talented co-stars that added to his anxiety saying, “I was super stressed because I knew that all of the actors in it were better than me.

Fresh off of its debut at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Disney and 20th Century Studios have released the trailer for "A Haunting in Venice." This is the latest Hercule Poirot mystery directed by Kenneth Branagh, who also plays the famed detective. This time around, we're getting a straight-up supernatural thriller based on Agatha Christie's novel "Hallowe'en Party." While there were some creepy vibes in both "Murder on the Orient Express" and "Death on the Nile," this looks like a straight-up horror flick with a stellar cast.
Branagh has a stacked A-list cast to work with this time around, including recent Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh ("Everything Everywhere All at Once"), as well as Oscar-winning "Joker" composer Hildur Guđnadóttir. This one feels like it has success written all over it. Not to show my hand here, but this trailer looks pretty damn great, as does the poster, and you can check out both below.
