Zawe Ashton has been starring in more high-profile projects over the last few years, with her biggest to date next year in the form of "The Marvels." For now, she's playing Julia Thistlewaite in the new period drama "Mr. Malcolm's List," co-starring Freida Pinto, Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Ashley Park & Theo James. The film's diverse cast is unique for a period costume drama, and the end result is a funny, dramatic and delightful film that stands as one of the best in its genre, and Zawe is a huge reason for that. She was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about her work on the film, which you can listen to below. Be sure to please check out the film, which is playing this weekend in theaters from Bleecker Street. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
