How Natalie Portman And Raffey Cassidy Approached Playing The Same Character In Vox Lux

How Natalie Portman And Raffey Cassidy Approached Playing The Same Character In Vox Lux

When two actors are playing the same character at different ages in a movie, you'd think that there would be a lot of communication between them. After all, the idea of digging into a character's mind and backstory with a colleague trying to find the exact same mindset sounds like it would be an appreciated opportunity for any performer. This, however, wasn't the approach taken by Natalie Portman and Raffey Cassidy in the making of the new movie Vox Lux, as they actually purposefully kept their notions of their shared identity to themselves. Or as Portman puts it,

[Writer/director Brady Corbet] really wanted to make it like two different people so you could see this transformation, this kind of radical transformation from the girl you see at the beginning and the woman you see in the second part. So it was really just a wild ride.

The shared character in Vox Lux is Celeste, a young woman who, after experiencing a traumatic event as a teenager, finds herself propelled to stardom as a singer. Raffey Cassidy plays the character in the section of the film that begins in 1999 as her career is just getting started. Natalie Portman's Celeste, meanwhile, is the biggest star in the world in 2017 and getting prepared to launch a massive concert when news breaks of another violent event in which her work is directly referenced.

I had the chance to sit down with Natalie Portman and Raffey Cassidy to talk about their work together earlier this week, and my first question was in regards to how they communicated about their shared role. They explained that the idea at the center of the story in Vox Lux is that Celeste grew up to be a completely different person than she was when she was younger, which meant that their performances would be aided by a lack of Celeste talk (though they do get to actually work together in the film, as Cassidy also plays Celeste's daughter, Albertine).

While both roles have the name Celeste, they are meant to be seen, as Raffey Cassidy puts it, as "two completely different characters."

Following up, I asked the two actors individually how they saw Celeste and what they centered on in their performance. For Cassidy there was a greater focus on the traumatic event (something I'm withholding for spoiler reasons), particularly because it was fresher in the character's mind as she's making strides in her career. She explained,

For my character, because her first scene is the incident I think it was kind of just figuring out how she was going to deal with that trauma, and how that played a part in her life. It affected her whole family, but at the same time she was also discovered at the church service because of this accident. I think it was more discovering how she was dealing with what happened and to show that she was pushing it out of the way. So then we see later on in her life that it's not worked, she didn't do the right thing.

By "didn't do the right thing," Cassidy means that Celeste really becomes a mess. There's not only the classic rock and roll trio of drugs, sex, and alcohol, but her brain is really all over the place. This was something that Natalie Portman honed in on in her response, particular the way in which Celeste interacts with different people.

I think that for the later Celeste we really wanted to just have her be someone who kind of will say anything, and some of it is nonsense and some of it has real insight, and it kind of all gets mixed up, the garbage and the gold of what she says. And just have these very specific relationships, so that it's very different how she is with her sister, than how she is with her manager, then how she is with her daughter, or how she is with a journalist. You can kind of see all these different ways she behaves in different scenarios.

You can watch the stars of Vox Lux discuss their very divergent approaches to their shared character by clicking play on the video below!

In addition to Natalie Portman and Raffey Cassidy, Vox Lux co-stars Stacy Martin and Jude Law, and features music by Sia. It's out in limited release this weekend, and stay tuned here on CinemaBlend in the next few days for more from my interview -- which dives a bit into spoiler territory!

5 Cover Songs From The Greatest Showman: Reimagined Album That Are Better Than The Originals

5 Cover Songs From The Greatest Showman: Reimagined Album That Are Better Than The Originals

Step up ladies and gents, this is the moment you've waited for! You may remember going to see the The Greatest Showman in theaters during the holidays last year, but the movie's soundtrack has been given a new life. As announced last month, The Greatest Showman has a cover album and it's filled with tons of eclectic music talent singing your favorite songs from the film.

Following the critical acclaim of the music in La La Land, Oscar-winning songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul's next project became The Greatest Showman, starring Hugh Jackman, Michelle Williams, Zac Efron, Zendaya and Rebecca Ferguson. The larger-than-life musical loosely based on the life of circus manager, P.T. Barnum may not have dazzled most critics but it quickly became a cult favorite, cashing in $400 million at the worldwide box office. The smash hit is primarily known for its catchy tunes and remarkable performances.

The Greatest Showman: Reimagined is a stunning tribute to the musical's melodies, and is made just for the fan who knows all the words to the original soundtrack and is hungry for an encore. It's stacked with popular artists from a variety of genres and overall has an impressive selection of covers to please fans. Some of the new songs are so good that they soar high over the original recordings. Check out which ones upstage the likes of Hugh Jackman and Michelle Williams below!

The Greatest ShowThe beginning of The Greatest Showman begins just like a stage musical, with a stunning and exciting song and dance number to hype up the audience and introduce the feel of the show. It's a great way to start a movie musical because it pushes audiences into the deep end of the genre right away. Hugh Jackman's P.T. Barnum joyfully starts off the show with this track in the movie but the Reimagined album kicks it up a notch.

With one listen to Panic! At The Disco's cover of "The Greatest Show," you'll likely be wondering, 'Was this song written for Brendon Urie's voice?' The pop punk frontrunner fits right in with the movie's big opener as its energizing sound surges and builds into its chorus. Panic! At The Disco easily makes this "The Greatest Show" their own and enhances the lavish feel of the song with its bigger and bolder sound.

Come AliveAnother memorable track in The Greatest Showman early in the film is "Come Alive," also with Hugh Jackman front and center. In the song, Barnum is giving the new circus performers the confidence to get out there and perform. It's one of many high-energy tracks that can easily help put a smile on anyone's face with one listen.

When British breakout talents Years & Years and Jess Glynne get ahold of the track for the Reimagined album, the power of the words "Come Alive" aren't a mere suggestion, they are instantly spoken into existence as the new beat drops. Years & Years' lead singer Olly Alexander gives off some serious Michael Jackson vibes and his vocals add some additional soul to each lyric, while Jess Glynne is a great match for Alexander's voice.

This Is Me"This is Me" is the central track of The Greatest Showman for its powerful lead vocals by Keala Settle, positive message of embracing who you are and unforgettable sequence on screen. It earned the 2017 movie musical an Oscar nomination and Golden Globe win for Best Original Song. Turns out the album highlight can strike gold twice, just by adding Missy Elliott and Kesha to Settle's already flawless performance.

The cover track titled "This is Me (Reimagined Remix)" opens with new spoken word lyrics delivered by Missy Elliott who captures the spirit of the song by adding lines such as "They can't stop you, or block you or mock you" and "You have a purpose." The song then hands it off to Kesha and Keala Settle who strengthen the song with their duet that's sure to send some chills down your spine. This track is perfect proof that the Reimagined album seeks to make the songs of the movie more universal and relatable through a cover such as this one.

TightropeIn The Greatest Showman, Barnum's wife Charity played by Michelle Williams gets her own solo song called "Tightrope." The emotional ballad has Charity watch her husband leave with the beautiful and talented Jenny Lind (Rebecca Ferguson) on the road, while she stays with their two daughters and simply misses him. As Williams sings, the song also parallels to the rocky relationship between Anne (Zendaya) and Phillip (Zac Efron).

Sorry Charity, when Sara Bareilles comes in with her melancholy piano and iconic vocals, I surrender. Her iteration takes some creative liberties by turning the typical musical solo into a stripped-down track with dreamy notes in the background. The chorus is more epic and poignant in this version than the original, but of course builds upon the context of the memorable scene in The Greatest Showman.

From Now On"From Now On" is the final song in The Greatest Showman and marks an incredible ending to the movie. The track has Hugh Jackman's vocals at their best, not to mention it includes that scene when he runs to catch a train as he delivers them. The song is filled to the brim with heart and makes for a moving finale for the movie musical.

For "From Now On," I'm going to draw the line between the cover not being better but simply extremely well "reimagined" by Zac Brown Band. As much of these songs do, it seamlessly bends the show tune into working in a completely new genre and still working just as well. The song becomes refined into a country folk track with a completely different feel to it.

As a whole, the cover album breathes some new life into the songs of The Greatest Showman. The above songs impress over their originals but also show how incredible the songs were to begin with. Some other memorable songs from the musical such as "Million Dreams," "Rewrite the Stars" and "Never Enough" also feature some impressive covers, but the first recordings still reign over them. The Greatest Showman: Reimagined cover album is currently available to stream or own.
