Judy’ Producer on Renee Zellweger’s Performance: ‘People Had Forgotten She Could Sing’
,’ and they were like, ‘Can she sing?’ I reminded them she was Oscar-nominated and petty good in ‘Chicago’!”
At one point, Livingstone had to sink his own money into “Judy” as Calamity put the movie and its financing together. It helped that Zellweger was committed before all of the pieces were in place. “Renee was hungry, she had a hunger for the information,” he said. “She was picking up everything and looking at it, like shells on a beach. Some she was keeping, some throwing away. She has her own way of doing things.
Pre-“Judy,” Livingstone shared a BAFTA with writer Stephen Beresford for “Pride,” the story of how many of the gay community came out in support of striking British coalminers in the 1980s. That paved the way for Calamity’s foray into TV with “Brassic,” which has a second season for Comcast’s Sky in the U.K.
Having dipped a toe into TV, Calamity has more to come – funny and dramatic material in equal measure. “I think there is a gap in the market here [in the U.K.], particularly in that space between comedy and drama; it’s either a funny drama or dramatic comedy,” Livingstone said. “It’s something the Americans do really well. That’s something I want to make.”
