This December, everythings coming up March.
I just adore them.
I dont know what theydo I mean, its magic.

I direct them, but its all there.
To play Jos elegant sister Meg, Gerwig turned toEmma Watson.
Shes on multi-governmental organizations that speak to the U.N., and shes so thoughtful and present.

She is way out there trying to do everything she can.
For me personally, Meg March is a character that is long misunderstood, Gerwig says.
Because shes absolutely herself with understanding the struggle of who that character is.
She is all-in, not just as an actor, but as a mind.
Also all-in wasLaura Dern, who took her role as the preternaturally warm and patient Marmee very seriously.
Everybody had a good cry with Laura.
She was a rock for everyone.
She said she wanted to be part of it.
I was like, Yes, maam.
Beyond that, the director wont even attempt to adequately gush about the 21-time Oscar nominee.
Anything I say about Meryl is superfluous, Gerwig says.
All the adjectives I have dont touch it.
