Greta Gerwig is a native of Sacramento and used the California city as the setting in her 2017 hit Lady Bird. According to Gerwig, she would not only want to return to the city for future films, she would also like to revisit the world of Lady Bird.
Speaking during a recent Q&A session, Gerwig was asked if she would like to return to the world of Lady Bird and make a series of films about the character’s life. The director said that she had not thought of such a thing, but would like it because of her love for actress Saoirse Ronan.
“I haven’t thought about it that way, although part of me would love to, because I love Saoirse as an actor, and I love the character,” Gerwig said. “And this character is so intimate to me, and…I wasn’t like that, but he’s almost like the person I aspire to be, but I wasn’t even close to that confident in myself.”
Gerwig has more films planned featuring Sacramento
Gerwig said she’s open to revisiting the film, but she also definitely plans to screen more films in the city of Sacramento, and already has a few ideas in the works.
“I’ll revisit it. I know I definitely want to make more movies in Sacramento, that’s something I know I want to do. I have a vague idea for two others. So that will happen. So the Sacramento Trilogy.” Stay tuned for that,” Gerwig joked.
Currently, Gerwig is enjoying the massive success of her latest film, Barbie. Not only was the film a global box office hit (grossing over $1.4 billion), but it also received a ton of award nominations. Recently, the film won two Golden Globe Awards, including Best Original Song.
