British actress Emily Blunt has traveled both the studio and indie route during her career, most recently appearing in Lasse Hallstr�m's specialty feature Salmon Fishing in the Yemen and starring this week opposite Jason Segel in Universal's romantic comedy The Five-Year Engagement. Meanwhile, another project Blunt is promoting in New York, writer-director Lynn Shelton's Your Sister's Sister, joined Engagement as part of this year's Tribeca Film Festival, still underway in Manhattan. The smaller of her two Tribeca titles, Sister proved something of career d�j� vu for Blunt, who told an Apple Store audience that her experience working on the feature reminded her of her very first film feature role.
"The whole time I was shooting my first film My Summer of Love [2004], I was terrified because it was all improvised," Blunt said at the event, co-hosted this past weekend by Indiewire. "I hadn't worked that way in years, so I was [eager] to do it again. It's daunting, but I was excited."
Your Sister's Sisterco-stars Blunt as Iris, who sends her good friend Jack (Mark Duplass) to her family's island following the death of his brother. After he arrives at the island getaway, he has a surprising encounter with Iris's sister Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt), which unleashes a revealing stretch of antics over the course of several days. While the film is intended to be dramatic, comedic elements surface even in surprising ways for the actors. "I almost felt sorry for my character because when I was playing her, I was thinking very seriously," said DeWitt, commenting on audience laughter during some scenes with her character. "But I think that when people laugh, they're seeing themselves in the character," Blunt added.
