Sundance '11 darling Brit Marling is now a year and change removed from the stunning festival debut that made her one to watch thanks to two films she co-wrote, produced, and starred in: The moody sci-fi drama Another Earth, released last summer, and the mesmerizing Sound of My Voice. The latter film finally hits theaters this week, giving audiences a chance to see a different side of Marling: Earthy, enigmatic, dangerously charismatic, and -- as the leader of a cult amassing members in a basement in the Valley -- possibly from the future.
Movieline spoke with Marling last year about Sound of My Voice, in which a would-be documentarian and his girlfriend (Christopher Denham and Nicole Vicius) find themselves falling deeper under the spell of Marling's Maggie as she prepares her followers for an unknown event. As with Another Earth, which was co-written and directed by Mike Cahill, Marling penned the script for Sound of My Voice with director Zal Batmanglij (who is currently at work on his SOMV follow-up The East, a drama centered around an anarchist group starring Ellen Page, Alexander Skarsgard, Julia Ormond, Patricia Clarkson, and Marling).
Marling herself has since filmed the dramatic thriller Arbitrage with Richard Gere and Susan Sarandon and will be seen in Robert Redford's The Company You Keep. In Movieline's chat she discusses the borderline illegal guerrilla filmmaking tricks that made Sound of My Voice possible, her thoughts on taking professional risks, her dream director list, and how to avoid the "morally-corrupt swamp" that is Hollywood. (A longer version of this interview was previously published here.)
Sundance was a huge coming out…
