Exclusive: Eiza González On Working With Rosamund Pike In Crime Drama ‘I Care A Lot’
Now playing on Netflix is the crime drama thriller I Care A Lot, directed by J. Blakeson and starring Rosamund Pike, Peter Dinklage, Eiza González, Chris Messina, Macon Blair, Alicia Witt, Damian Young, with Isiah Whitlock Jr. and Dianne Wiest.
Poised with sharklike self-assurance, Marla Grayson (Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike) is a professional, court-appointed guardian for dozens of elderly wards whose assets she seizes and cunningly bilks through dubious but legal means. It’s a well-oiled racket that Marla and her business-partner and lover Fran (Eiza González) use with brutal efficiency on their latest “cherry,” Jennifer Peterson (two-time Academy Award winner Dianne Wiest) — a wealthy retiree with no living heirs or family. But when their mark turns out to have an equally shady secret of her own and connections to a volatile gangster (Golden Globe winner Peter Dinklage), Marla is forced to level up in a game only predators can play — one that’s neither fair, nor square.
Gonzalez’s previous film credits include Baby Driver, Alita: Battle Angel, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, Bloodshot and the upcoming MonsterVerse crossover Godzilla Vs Kong. In speaking with BlackFilmandTV.com’s Wilson Morales, González talks about her role and working opposite Pike.
