In the last few years, Riley Keough has carved out quite a burgeoning career, working with George Miller, Andrea Arnold, Steven Soderbergh, David Robert Mitchell, Trey Edward Shults, and, for her most recent premiere, Charlie McDowell. Starring alongside Rooney Mara, Jason Segel, Robert Redford, and Jesse Plemons, The Discovery finds her playing Lacey, a character attempting to rebuild her own life under the guidance of Redford’s character after the afterlife was discovered.

While at Sundance Film Festival, I sat down with the actress to discuss the emotional sci-fi film, how realistic it might be, the ethical questions behind it, as well her promising upcoming year, her favorite sci-fi films, her thoughts on television after The Girlfriend Experience, and much more. Check out the conversation below.

Lena Dunham's September interview with Amy Schumer for her Lenny newsletter ignited controversy when Dunham complained that she was ignored by New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. at the Met Ball, saying, "[His] vibe was very much like, 'Do I want to f— it?' " When Twitter exploded with cries of racism, filmmaker Xavier Burgin, 26 — a Sundance Lab fellow and a mentee of Ryan Murphy's Half Foundation — calmly reached out to Dunham. He agreed to speak to THR about the experience on the condition that we also would include a black woman in the conversation....

Michelle Pfeiffer is one of those actresses whose career you look back on and just marvel at. For an industry that supposedly disposes of actors as soon as they start to show their age, she has endured, racking up countless unforgettable performances with a whole host of amazing directors (to name a few: Jonathan Demme, Tim Burton, Robert Zemeckis, Matthew Vaughn, George Miller, and Brian De Palma). Not only has she not slowed down as the years have gone on, she's gotten better.

Next up for her is writer/director Luc Besson's "The Family," playing a mob wife forced to relocate to a rural French village after her husband (Robert De Niro) squeals on his mafia cohorts. In the movie Pfeiffer gets to curse, scream, and blow up a small French supermarket. In other words: everything you dream about while attending drama school.

That’s enough. Let’s not get greedy,” Bale said.

The internet has been on fire recently because Christian Bale said that he won't reprise his role as Batman in any future films for Warner Bros. such as Justice League. That kind of news makes me punch the Internet in the face. Why you ask? Because Bale has been saying the same thing since before The Dark Knight Rises was even released, so I'm not sure why this is all of a sudden big news? It's not, and I think the Internet movie fan audience is smarter than than that. It didn't stop a bunch of movie blogs from posting the news, though.

Sorry for the rant, I just thought that was all kind of ridiculous. So since we already knew that Bale wouldn't be playing Batman anymore, who should take his place as the Dark Knight?...
