Jamie Lee Curtis didn't understand EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce and its hot dog universe at first, but luckily, it all came together on set: 'Michelle [Yeoh] and I just found this gorgeous emotional place with each other.'
Jamie Lee Curtis reveals that she did not understand Everything Everywhere All at Once at first. The science-fiction comedy, directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, premiered back in March and follows an aging Chinese immigrant as she travels through parallel universes, exploring all the lives she could have led while attempting to save the world from a powerful threat in the multiverse.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY During Variety’s recent Actors on Actors conversation with Colin Farrell, Curtis shared that she originally did not understand Everything Everywhere All at Once, and noted the Daniels’ hot dog universe in particular. However, in working with Yeoh, Curtis was able to craft something beautiful. Read Curtis’ comments regarding her experience below:
"When we first met, and Michelle and I met, and the Daniels talked about the hot dog universe, I didn’t understand. I didn’t understand the movie. And I was trying to figure it out. And then we went into the set and what happened, which was so beautiful, was Michelle and I just found this gorgeous emotional place with each other.
No stranger to action films, Curtis has done a lot of on-screen fighting in her career, and recently wrapped up her ongoing battle with Michael Myers in the Halloween franchise. In Everything Everywhere All at Once, she goes head-to-head with Michelle Yeoh, getting to tap into a more intimidating part of Deirdre on occasion, and in more stylized sequences than the Halloween films.
The Daniels created one of the most talked about films of the year in Everything Everywhere All at Once, and the more behind-the-scenes stories that get shared, the more interesting the whole creative process appears. The movie was a critical and commercial success, earning several honors ahead of award season and becoming A24's first feature to gross over $100 million globally.
