Julianne Moore, ‘Still Alice’ Team Talk Creating Authentic Alzheimer’s Movie
Julianne Moore, ‘Still Alice’ Team Talk Creating Authentic Alzheimer’s Movie – When Julianne Moore took on her role in Still Alice , as a woman afflicted by early-onset Alzheimer’s, the one for which she’s already earned a Golden Globe and is expected to receive a best actress Oscar nomination , she didn’t want to portray anything she hadn’t seen. But she made sure she saw a lot.
Moore told a group of reporters at Tuesday night’s New York screening of the film that she did roughly four months’ worth of research, in which she “basically talked to everybody I could.” The movie is based on Lisa Genoa’ novel, Still Alice.
Although Still Alice has received a great deal of awards buzz for Moore’s performance, much of the public hasn’t yet been able to see the film. The movie had a one-week Oscar-qualifying run last month and is officially opening in select cities on Friday before expanding wider.
