Interview: Sigourney Weaver talks about her role in The Good House

Last Updated on October 10, 2022

There are some actors who require no introduction. Over the course of her career, Sigourney Weaver has played badass sci-fi heroines, horror babes, and historical figures. She has been a standard-bearer for drama, comedy, and so much more. Shockingly, Sigourney Weaver has not starred in a film as the top-billed actress in over a decade despite having been in one of the highest-grossing movies of all time. With the sequel to Avatar on the horizon, Sigourney Weaver is the star of a new comedy-drama debuting this weekend, The Good House. I got the chance to sit down with the legendary actress to discuss The Good House and what it was like being back in the lead of a film after so many years. We discussed her third film with Kevin Kline and what drew her to this project. Check out the full interview in the embed above.

Based on the novel of the same name by Ann Leary, The Good House is the story of Hildy Good, a New England realtor and descendent of a Salem Witch. Living life as a divorcee with two adult children, Hildy undergoes an intervention about her drinking. Through a series of fourth-wall-breaking conversations, we learn about Hildy and whether or not her drinking problem is real or imagined. Co-starring Kevin Kline, Morena Baccarin, and Rob Delaney, The Good House is a sweet film that is a welcome showcase for Sigourney’s singular talents.

The Good House premieres on September 30th.
