Freida Pinto is just one of the many women who play love interest to Christian Bale in Terrence Malick's new, non-narrative drama "Knight of Cups."
The "Slumdog Millionaire" star talked to Moviefone about the improvisational nature of the film, why she hated her modeling days and what to expect from "Jungle Book: Origins." She also discusses bonding with Best Actress Brie Larson on Oscar night.
Moviefone: How much of "Knight of Cups" was improv versus scripted?
Freida Pinto: The entire film was improv. There was no script and, even when there was a script, we were asked to play with it or change the lines -- it just really depended on where we were in that present moment. It's a very free-flowing, Terry Malick style of filmmaking.
How does he direct? Do you do a lot of rehearsal?
He's more like a guide, if I can call him that.
