Where’d You

Go, Bernadette

A life of constantly putting her family before
herself has left mother Bernadette Fox
(Cate Blanchett) grumpy and yearning for a
break. One day, she mysteriously disappears,
leading her daughter Bee Branch (Emma
Nelson) to embark on a mission to learn the
escapee’s fate.


FIVE FACTS:



  1. This film, directed and co-written by
    Richard Linklater, adapts Maria Semple’s
    2012 comedy novel also titled Where’d You
    Go, Bernadette.

  2. Two of the production companies
    involved in this movie, Annapurna Pictures
    and Color Force, acquired the film rights to
    the novel in January 2013.

  3. This is the second film in which Blanchett
    and Billy Crudup co-star, after Charlotte Gray
    in 2001.

  4. Some of the film’s arctic scenes were set to
    use “green screen” - but as Blanchett insisted
    that the backdrop should be authentic,
    production shifted to Greenland.

  5. Amazon Studios also had a hand in
    the film, hence the abundant product
    placement for Amazon Prime.
