Eight years after her last Hollywood film, Ryan stars in "What Happens Later" as Willa, a woman who reunites with a former partner when they are both snowed in at an airport. Ryan said she spent three years working to bring the project to the screen. It premieres in theaters on Friday. "It takes me a long time to do anything," she said in an interview, "so three of the eight years were just labor on this."
"What Happens Later" is among several films from independent production companies to receive waivers from the SAG-AFTRA actors union, meaning the actors were free to speak about the movie despite the ongoing strike."Meg wears that responsibility really lightly, which is nice," he said. "You never got the sense that she was overwhelmed or feeling the pressure, which I'm sure she was from time to time.
