Laura Dern Was "So Lucky" To Film Sexy 'Lonely Planet' With Liam Hemsworth & Like DUH!

What has the cast said about the movie?

Laura Dern told People that she "was so lucky" to work with Liam Hemsworth, whom she says is "literally the safest person I could ever talk through everything in my life with."

"The whole experience of filming was that it just felt like we were hanging out and it was getting captured at the same time," Hemsworth says.

"By the time we were doing those scenes, there was nothing we couldn't talk about together and work out creatively, professionally, all of that," Dern continues. "But we also had a lot of support. We had much, much discussion." She adds how "incredible" it is "that film and filmmaking have changed so that everyone is comfortable in their voice and can set boundaries comfortably without fear of losing a job or being unpopular."

Will there be a Lonely Planet 2?

While there's no word on a sequel just yet, Laura Dern is totally down to reunite for a Lonely Planet 2. "I'm feeling a sequel for sure," she says. "We go to Tahiti and become scuba-diving instructors," Hemsworth jokes.

What is the movie Lonely Planet about?

Lonely Planet Plot

When reclusive novelist Katherine travels to Morocco for a writer's retreat, she hopes the beautiful setting will get rid of her writer's block. Or at the very least, inspire some creativity. While taking part in the retreat, a new friendship with a young man turns into a relationship that changes everything. This new romance movie feels like Argylle meets Eat, Pray, Love and I can't wait to watch it over and over (and maybe use it as inspo for my own solo travels).

“Katherine has spent her life dedicated to narrative and therefore [hasn’t spent] much time looking at deep truth within,” Laura Dern said in an interview with Netflix. “She is at a turning point in her life where she is looking for a softening and deeper understanding, and she finds it in a love story.”
