The remake of 80’s comedy Arthur is out now in cinemas and we were lucky to grab a couple of minutes to chat with rising star and Russell Brand’s love interest in the film, Greta Gerwig.

The film marks her second role in a big, mainstream Hollywood comedy (she featured in rom-com No Strings Attached earlier this year), but Gerwig is also known for her work within the independent ‘mumblecore’ film movement in the US, where, as well as appearing in front of the camera, she’s also performed writing and directing duties. She talks a little bit about this other side to her career (below).
