There\u2019s an elephant in the room when you talk to Betty Gilpin<\/strong> about her role in The Tomorrow War<\/em><\/strong>. Even though the star of GLOW<\/em> and The Hunt<\/em> brings humor and charm to her role as the wife of Chris Pratt\u2019s former solider who is recruited to travel<\/a> through time to fight aliens in an apocalyptic future, she\u2019s still playing\u2026you know, the wife who stays home and doesn\u2019t get to fight the aliens.<\/p>\n

But do you know who doesn\u2019t care about that? Betty Gilpin. \u201cI was very happ<\/a>y to be eating bagels in baggy sweaters, waving at everyone as they went off to gun training and stunt training and were icing their knees and stuff,\u201d she told me over Zoom. \u201cMy knees feel great.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Tomorrow War<\/em> allows Gilpin to be funny, which is a good thing, because she\u2019s a very funny performer. She\u2019s even funny during exhausting press days, when she answered my questions about the possibility of GLOW<\/em> ever coming back and why she\u2019s no longer playing Ann Coulter in the upcoming season of American Crime Story<\/em>. There\u2019s a honesty in her humor as well \u2013 not many interviews end with an actor excited about what happens \u201cwhen the wrinkles show up on [their] face.\u201d<\/p>\n

I really enjoyed the movie. I wasn\u2019t sure what to expect from it, but it\u2019s an absolute blast.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Great!<\/p>\n

Have you seen it yet?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have, yeah. I saw it. My husband was so mad. We watched a screener of it, and it said \u201cBetty Gilpin\u201d in huge letters across the center of the screen, which felt unsustainable, but I forced him to watch the entire thing like that.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a real \u201990s vibe to it in the best possible way. I felt like I was watching Independence Day<\/em> or Stargate<\/em> or Armageddon<\/em>. It has that tone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, totally. Yes. That\u2019s great.<\/p>\n

Were those conversations you had with Chris Pratt? Did you guys ever say, \u201cYes, this is my Independence Day<\/em>. This is my Roland Emmerich movie.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s all he said. He kept saying it on repeat while he was shaking. Holding protein shakes.<\/p>\n

I bought you and Chris Pratt as couple in this movie. I feel like sometimes movies<\/a> say, \u201cOh, here\u2019s our heroic action guy\u2026and there\u2019s the wife.\u201d But I feel like you two have a real believable dynamic. I bought the relationship. I bought the chemistry.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh, I\u2019m so glad. Yeah. I think that it was important to me to sort of evolve away from action movie wife, just sort of being squinting and stoic, holding up laundry baskets and a cashmere diaper basically. And so I wanted her to feel like a real person and for their marriage to feel like a real marriage. And I think that she sees Dan very clearly and sees that the guy that she fell in love with who wanted to do great things and have purpose in his life has sort of disappeared. She knows he\u2019s not where he needs to be. And I think that\u2019s the beauty of being married. That you can sort of have the person\u2019s number and have the speech prepared for them of here\u2019s what you need to do to change your life, to be the person that I know is buried there, but also be flirty and talking about appetizers. Because life.<\/p>\n

Yeah. I\u2019m curious if this was a script thing, a [director Chris McKay] thing, a you and Chris Pratt thing? The movie lets you both be funny, and funny together.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s funny because a lot of the stuff that we shot was so dramatic and so emotional, and then we would do one funny take and the funny takes all made it in. I watched it at first and was like wow, this is way funnier than I remember. I remember doing a lot of sobbing. We improv\u2019d a lot and yeah, we had such a good time. I love Chris so much. For someone who\u2019s such a huge movie star, he\u2019s such a team player and so open. Yeah, it was a ton of fun.<\/p>\n

And the other Chris here, director Chris McKay, he has an animation background. His previous movie [The LEGO Batman Movie<\/em>] was really funny. So I kind of had a gut reaction going in that he was going to find some humor in this apocalypse. It sounds like he encouraged you to do funny takes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah. I think it was important to Chris McKay to find what was real. Things you could hold on to. If you don\u2019t believe the relationships, you\u2019re never going to believe that people up here from the future announcing that there\u2019s a war on humanity with aliens. It\u2019s pretty far-fetched. So if you believe that we were married, maybe there\u2019s a chance you believe that aliens really came and fought Chris Pratt.<\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s refreshing the movie does not set up a sequel directly. It\u2019s not like, \u201cTomorrow War 2<\/em> is coming.\u201d It\u2019s a definitive ending for these characters. But I have to ask you: if they said, \u201cWe\u2019re making a sequel, Betty Gilpin. Do you want to put on an army suit and machine gun some aliens?\u201d, I\u2019m assuming you\u2019d be willing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would certainly be willing. I have to say having done many stunt-heavy projects, I was very happy to be eating bagels in baggy sweaters, waving at everyone as they went off to gun training and stunt training and were icing their knees and stuff. I was like, my knees feel great.<\/p>\n

A movie of yours that I feel like is an interesting companion piece to this one is\u00a0The Hunt<\/em>. A movie where you are the opposite of comfortable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My costume was pretty comfortable though, but yeah, I was throwing my body into the ground a lot.<\/p>\n

I feel like both these movies are cut from a similar cloth, or at least they are different opposite ends of the same coin. They\u2019re both social<\/a>ly conscious genre movies. They\u2019re both about the here and now and in very distinctive ways.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love it. They\u2019re certainly both kind of \u201chide your vegetables\u201d movies in terms of, they deal with real issues of today. But it\u2019s sort of hidden inside a big popcorny action movie. Yeah. I think it\u2019s important. Especially now that we\u2019re so polarized and where we\u2019re getting our news<\/a> and we\u2019re farther and farther apart from each other, and it\u2019s almost like movies are sort of the last same church that we\u2019re all going to seeing the same thing. And I think there are two responsibilities in the entertainment industry, create fluff for people to zone out from a really depressing existence and slip in some vegetables and say, hey, this is not a niche issue. Climate change isn\u2019t a niche issue. Racism isn\u2019t a niche issue. Okay. Go back to your bubble.<\/p>\n

Yeah. Delicious asparagus wrapped around popcorn or vice versa.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah. Chocolate covered brussel sprouts.<\/p>\n

Sounds delicious.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure some hipster has done it.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure. We\u2019ll find someone who serves that. I suppose no interview would be complete without me asking this. I apologize for asking the question. You\u2019ve probably been asked many times, but has there been any rumblings on GLOW<\/em> getting a finale movie or anything like that? Because I miss GLOW<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah. I miss GLOW<\/em> too. My hip flexors don\u2019t miss\u00a0GLOW<\/em> and my scapula doesn\u2019t miss GLOW<\/em> and my skull doesn\u2019t miss\u00a0GLOW<\/em> but my soul does. I don\u2019t know. I feel like it\u2019ll be like the beginning of a Mark Wahlberg action movie where he\u2019s in the woods with a long beard. And he\u2019s like, I don\u2019t do that kind of work anymore. And then gets the call. I feel like I\u2019ll be a pottery teacher in Maine and they\u2019ll call me, like, \u201cSeason four. We\u2019re doing it.\u201d \u201cBut I\u2019m retired. All right, I\u2019ll do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019m running out of time. I got to ask about this. Maybe early last year you joined the cast of Impeachment: American Crime Story<\/em>. Is that still happening?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am not going to be in it anymore. COVID-wise. It sucks. The schedules just didn\u2019t line up. Yeah. I listened to all those Ann Coulter audio books for nothing.<\/p>\n

Well, with all due respect to people who may have different opinions than me, that sounds like the most miserable form of research possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah, it really was. I have an Ann Coulter impression that\u2019s pretty down pat with nowhere to go. So if only I was on Cameo, no, I don\u2019t want to be on that.<\/p>\n

Do you think you can share some of that impression?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No, because I want it to be\u2026\u00a0[Gilpin pauses, thinks for a moment, and then launches into a pretty damn impressive Ann Coulter impression]\u00a0<\/em>She sort of talks like this and it\u2019s just sort of Ann Coulter and is a certain kind of person who is possibly a demon.<\/p>\n

That was incredible. My whole plan here was to end talking about Impeachment<\/em>, but since that\u2019s not happening, what do you want to do next? Assuming you don\u2019t want to hurt your knees shooting aliens, what\u2019s your dream project?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think that I have been trying to \u2013 I think internally I am like a layered, insane, witch person inside of a kind of glittery shell and I\u2019m sort of rapidly aging out of the glittery shell. I\u2019m excited to see what happens when the wrinkles show up on my face. They already are. And I think that, I don\u2019t know, as my dad right now is playing a Butler on HBO\u2019s\u00a0The Gilded Age<\/em>. And he sort of always has internally been a butler and is now at his prime. And I think I\u2019ve internally always been more of a Mare of Easttown<\/em> than a Paris Hilton. I\u2019m so excited for the Mare of Easttown<\/em> stuff.<\/p>\n
