    During her appearance on ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’, the ‘Land’ star is shown a clip from the White House interview the talk show host had with the new First Lady.

    Mar 3, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Robin Wright’s (previously Robin Wright Penn) movie directorial debut has been given a big thumbs up by America’s new First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden.
    The “Forrest Gump” star appeared on Kelly Clarkson’s U.S. talk show days after Biden was interviewed by the pop star last week (ends February 26), and revealed she and her husband, Joe Biden, had watched the actress’ new film, “Land”.
    In a clip from the White House chat Clarkson played for her guest, Biden said, “She (Wright’s character) goes out into the wilderness and survives. It’s a beautiful movie. You should see it.”
    Thrilled Robin responded, “That makes me wanna cry. That’s amazing. I mean, what they’ve been through and that it’s such a hopeful end to the movie… I hope it hugged their heart.”

    Wright briefly met Biden once at an event and added, “What an incredible woman.”
    “Land” is based on the original screenplay by Jesse Chatham and Golden Globe nominee Liz Hannah. Premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival, it also saw Demian Bichir and Kim Dickens starring opposite Wright.
    The drama film follows Wright’s character, Edee Mathis, as she goes off the grid and tests her survival skills by living in a cabin in the Shoshone National Forest in Wyoming. With the help of a Native American, she begins to confront her demons and surprises herself with her own will to survive.
    Ass for her experience filming the movie, Wright opened up about the challenge that shocked her the most. “It was stomaching the skinning of the animal. And I eat meat,” the actress told USA Today. “But I just – I don’t want to see that. You don’t think it’s going to shock you. And it does.”
    “I mean, you couldn’t have a more distant comparison between what it was like shooting ‘House of Cards’ to shooting and directing ‘Land’. (For ‘House of Cards’) we were on a stage outside of Baltimore for six years on sets in an airplane hangar,” she explained. “This was a completely different beast because you’re dealing with nature.”

      Robin Wright Gets Candid About Bear Whisperer Hiring for 'Land' Filming

      Speaking about her new film on ‘Live with Kelly and Ryan’, the ‘Forrest Gump’ actress additionally shares her thought on filming in remote Alberta, Canada to make the scenes look authentic.

      Feb 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Robin Wright really went into the wild to shoot her new film “Land” – and needed a bear whisperer to keep her cast and crew members safe from the local creatures.
      The “Forrest Gump” star pulls double duty on the movie, as director and leading lady, a woman who retreats to a remote cabin as she battles grief and the urge to take her own life, before the kindness of strangers sets her on a new path.
      But filming in remote Alberta, Canada meant that even the production’s trained bear had to be protected from the local grizzlies, who took quite an interest in the Hollywood visitors.
      “We have a scene in the movie where a bear is basically in danger of being eaten by a bear, and we had to do (the scene with) visual effects because it wasn’t safe for the trained bear to be on the set, because we had wild bears around the set all day long,” Robin tells “Live with Kelly and Ryan”.

      But Robin has no complaints about getting to grips with nature to make the country scenes look authentic.
      “First of all, it’s like medicine being out there,” she smiles. “We were at 8,000 feet at the top of a mountain and to wake up and hear birds and not honking horns and trains – it was peaceful and it was therapy.”
      In another interview, Robin admitted that she initially hesitated to direct the movie. “Should I? Can I? Yes, you can. You can do it. You just have to be committed to your strength and your confidence that you can do it,” she explained.

      Robin Wright Gets Candid About Experience in Skinning Animal for 'Land'

      As she opens up about her biggest challenge on her movie directorial debut, the ‘House of Cards’ star reveals that she was ‘ready to throw in the towel’ when pitching the film at the Cannes Film Festival.

      Feb 2, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Robin Wright Penn’s biggest challenge on her movie directorial debut “Land” was skinning an animal.
      The actress helmed the film and also stars as Edee – a lawyer who takes herself off the grid and travels to the most unpopulated area in the United States – and the actress admitted she was left “shocked” by the animal skinning process.
      Wright – who has directed 10 episodes of Netflix drama “House of Cards” – told USA Today, “It was stomaching the skinning of the animal. And I eat meat.”

      “But I just – I don’t want to see that. You don’t think it’s going to shock you. And it does. I mean, you couldn’t have a more distant comparison between what it was like shooting House of Cards to shooting and directing Land. (For House of Cards) we were on a stage outside of Baltimore for six years on sets in an airplane hangar. This was a completely different beast because you’re dealing with nature.”
      But the movie – which also stars Demian Bichir and Kim Dickens – nearly didn’t make it to screens, as Wright admitted she was “ready to throw in the towel” when pitching the motion picture at the Cannes Film Festival, but her final meeting of the day, with Focus Features, proved to be successful.
      “No one was biting. I was like, I don’t think this is going to work,” she recalled. “I don’t think anybody wants to see this movie. And I was ready to throw in the towel.”
      Of Bichir, Wright said that he “had a great desire to play this part because he went through a similar situation in his life, the way Edee did, and it was therapy for him. He told me that he needed to do it for that reason.”
