Jacki Weaver discusses her new film, Woody Allen’s Magic in the Moonlight

WITH four films and a TV series scheduled for release in 2014, Jacki Weaver’s career resurgence shows no signs of stopping — or even slowing down.

WITH four films and a TV series scheduled for release in 2014, Jacki Weaver’s career resurgence is showing no signs of slowing down.

“I have been getting so much extraordinary stuff offered to me, I really feel ungrateful turning (anything) down,’’ said the 67-year-old actress who is about to start work on a sci-fi drama in Tokyo with Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult.

Weaver said she had yet to meet the Twilight star.

“But I am looking forward to working with Nic Hoult because when I was working with Jennifer Lawrence on Silver Linings, he was her boyfriend — I think he is again. She adored him and he sounds like a darling, so that should be fun.”

Directed by 31-year-old Drake Doremus and co-starring Guy Pearce, Equals is a futuristic love story set in a world where emotions have been eradicated.

Weaver was speaking to News Corp on the phone from her new flat in West Hollywood, where she was spending time with husband Sean Taylor after completing a string of promotional commitments for Woody Allen’s latest film, Magic in the Moonlight, in which she stars opposite Colin Firth and Emma Stone.

“I think we might be here a bit longer because we have just bought a flat full of furniture,’’ the two-time Oscar-nominee said.

Allen lived up to his taciturn reputation while shooting Magic Moonlight, a sumptuous, 1920s rom-com, on the French Riviera.

“He doesn’t say very much,’’ Weaver acknowledged.

“Some actors don’t like that but I am fine with it. I learnt a long time ago that when they are not saying anything to me they are usually happy with what they are getting.”

Among the other projects the actress has scheduled for release in the coming months are Gracepoint, the US remake of the hit British TV series Broadchurch starring David Tennant, Breaking Bad’s Anna Gunn and Nick Nolte, Reclaim with John Cusack and Ryan Phillippe, and Gena Rowlands’ Six Dance Lessons in Six Days.
