Jamie Lee Curtis Calls 'Mother Nature' 'Very Bloody' & 'Viscerally Angry'
The Big Picture Jamie Lee Curtis's graphic novel Mother Nature is due out on August 8th, and it's a brutally visceral and unflinching depiction of the dangers of the climate crisis.
Hear all about it straight from the Mother Nature team for yourself in the video above, or you can read the conversation in transcript form below: [It’s] about two mothers, two daughters in Catch Creek, New Mexico where Cobalt Electric is coming up with a bullshit way of water purification, taking fracking water and making it drinkable, greening the environment. It was a story that we were working on and Karl Stevens is an artist who I collect the work of, and I sent him this story and he wrote back and said it's a graphic novel. So where it is today is it's a much more graphic story.
RUSSELL GOLDMAN: With a story that deals with environmental themes, there are 20 different parts of my brain that are being pulled in different directions about the possibilities of what this can be.
You guys are doing a great job teeing up so many different details I want to get into! But first, Karl, I want to come your way with a broader question because, correct me if I'm wrong on any of this, I believe Jamie and Russell wrote a script first and then you saw the graphic novel potential in that script.
STEVENS: Yeah, there are several. I like the opening scene with the oil rig collapsing on the father's head. The hailstorm, too. That alone was just an incredible set piece to me. I work in ink and watercolor so I thought that I could make it very painterly, and that excited me.
