There was a actor strike and I assume no funding yet. I still believe its primary to get the 3 years Visa to live with Ioan, so she had to at least pretend to be hopeful here. There hasnt been an update to the imdb page for agesHave we seen this….?
I know we all presumed Ioan would be a big part of it and probably directing but it looks like he will be acting in it too.
In that podcast she says : (whilst walking off set with Tom Hanks)
“you know I only started acting 2 years ago and I made a promise to myself that in 5 years I would work with Baz Lurhman, and he turned to me, and he was quite a boisterous character and he turned to me and he just blew up “YOU DID IT IN TWO! YOU DID IT IN TWO!!”
“lovely jimmy came across it whilst he was working at Disney. I sent him the concept of the script, he said this is so important, so necessary and it’s not really done, it’s not out there. He found a spot in his heart for a “ray of sunshine” I think it was about a year of back and forth with jimmy and edits and discussions and ideas and that’s when it really turned into something special.”
“And then Yo, Ioan my boyfriend, he actually , um, when we first met, um, we discussed it, you know I told him about it, we discussed my writing acting you know, and I gave him the concept script at one point as well and he called me and he said “Bianca, I’ve just read “a ray of sunshine”, oh my goodness, how can I be involved. We weren’t together at this point um and so that was really special as well, that’s what kind of made me feel “ok there’s something to this” and it really, it felt important to me, but that’s purely because it’s a lot to do with my life and my experience, but to hear other people and get that feedback of “there’s something here” it’s exciting.”
Jimmy has one film that he has to finish first so AROS are second in line. It’s filming in Los Angeles and potentially Finland.
I wonder if Alice’s Disney exec worked with Jimmy

Also gives an interesting insight into her and Ioan’s relationship early days. She obviously did meet (as we know) him on Harrow and got talking to him about the script but she was already talking to Jimmy about it which is interesting as I presumed Ioan had been helping her to roll the ball on that.
she talks about her abusive marriage and how because of leaving and her MS her mindset is “”don’t wait just go and do it” which is very reminiscent of “just do it you silly old duffer”
they are submitting on tuesday their witness lists. I wonder if Celia is on there for Alice.
