August 30, 2018 –
Yorgos Lanthimos‘ black comedy The Favourite, starring Olivia Coleman, Rachel Weisz, and Emma Stone opened at the Venice Film Festival on this date.
All of the actors rehearsed together for three weeks. They played a variety of improvisation games, worked with a choreographer, and were given free rein to look foolish in front of each other, so there would be no inhibitions on set.
