It’s not a big movie, it’s not an action movie. It’s the kind of movie we love but aren’t often cast in. It’s a very experimental, independent-type film where we get to be actors together and be really raw, open, try things. I am very happy to continue my relationship with [Universal Pictures Chairman Donna Langley] and the entire Universal team as I finish Unbroken and begin work on By the Sea. They have created a very special place for storytellers, and I look forward to the continued passion and support they have provided to me as a filmmaker.

My father came from a very poor background, but I was very fortunate in the sense that we were never in need. He wanted to give us more opportunity than he had, a better shot at a better life. He did that for us. I had a very supportive family environment that gave me room to explore and discover things about myself.
