I think that they'll definitely hear the voices of Mississippi, of the South.

It'll just be a different time in history.

And it'll be, yeah, it's a story of sisterhood.

It's a story about women facing issues that women are still facing today.

So I think they, yeah, I think if you like the help, you'll probably like this one too, but it is very different.

I don't think this one will make it to the school curriculum yet.

I do.

Because you do live in Greenwich Village, don't you, in New York?

I live in the East Village in New York.

Very close.

Very good knowledge.

And I also live in Mississippi.

And, you know, when you grow up in a place like Mississippi, you just, someone like me, I couldn't wait to get out.

And you sort of, you have to leave it to love it.

About seven years ago, me and my best friend, who actually wrote the screenplay for The Help and directed the movie, and the producer of The Help and the casting director of The Help,

we all bought houses next door to each other in this little town in the middle of nowhere in Mississippi.

One of the actresses from The Help lives out there with us.

A choreographer lives out there with us.

So we are a bunch of just, maybe you call us just creative nuts, just total nerds out there in the middle of the woods, creating things and sharing and

getting up in each other's business.
