Brit Marling on the art of storytelling and the unexpected prescience of 'murder at the end of the world'

Vogue: Obviously THE to show has has been delayed A little times, both due has COVID And THE Hollywood strikes. How do he feel has be Finally putting he out In THE world?

British Marking: Oh, my God. We begin thought about This idea In 2018, And In 2019 he begin has take more shape. In 2020, We went out has not he, SO he took A year has to write, SO he took A year And a few has TO DO because of THE pandemic, And SO We were editing. It is has been A long time future, And I think When You invest that Rising of time In something, And SO a lot of your life And energy, It is hard not has care deeply about It is release In THE world And hope that he given people something, Or moves people In A path that makes he feel value that investment of time, I guess.

On the way back has THE beginning, I know that You And Zal spend A plot of time future up with all kinds of ideas together For projects. What East he about A idea that makes You stop And say, Wait, I Really think This could be something?

I think with This In particular, he was just A strong feeling about A character. Darby Deer, as A character, sort of on springs up fully shape, In A path. Sometimes he takes A long time has find A characters voice as You are in writing, And You to have has to try And to try, And You can't answer questions very easily about THE character. If You were as, What is this THE characters favorite color? What kind of car would be they to drive? What is this their idea of A wonderful afternoon? If You can't answer any of them question Really easily about them, It is as they are not fully there Again. But with Darby, he was always just there. You request, what is this her favorite color? Red. What do She as has TO DO on A afternoon disabled? Shed be on her computer, solve these cold case. She spoke has We very clearly Since THE beginning. And I guess When that arrived, You just feel constrained has to write it's—it's almost as You to have has to write he. And I think part of that feeling Also came Since THE pandemic, because he was less about thought, What TO DO I to want has TO DO? What would be be A GOOD following stage In My work And career? Instead of those out thoughts future In, he was very internal. Things felt SO charge And SO fragile has that time, And SO We find ourselves ask more: What feels essential has say has This time, with all This adversity? And What feels as he could to have a few kind of to use In THE world?
