Transcript for Amy Adams shares update on 'Enchanted' sequel

Adams enchanted us, see what we did there, for years on the big screen and now taking on TV in the new HBO series "Sharp objects" based on the book by "Gillian Flynn." My sources tell me you've got a fashion stylist with a very critical eye. I do, my daughter. Your daughter. She weigh in on this outfit. She actually did and liked it very much. She's not a fan -- I sometimes will do a plunging neckline from time to time and she is not a fan of that. How old is she. She's. I love it. She does this -- You get the eye. We were talking about that before you came in. She approved and liked it. That's great. "Enchanted" is one of the only movies I'm told she was able to see. Yes. Will you be able to break any news, a "Disenchanted" soon. It's in the works and hoping to move forward with that pretty soon. You are in this new project not only starring in it, you are executive producing it. Yeah. This is, of course, by the best-selling author of "Gone girl" from her debut novel if I understange right. "Sharp objects." Were you a fan of the book before you took on the project. I was. I had become familiar with her work reading "Dark places" and "Gone girl" and then "Sharp objects" so when this came along she does this great telling of women in a different way and puts them as sort of anti-heroes but you also sympathize with them and very complicated and it was exciting to get to dive into that. She mastered the complicated female character. I think, yeah, absolutely. I look forward -- she's reading a whole bunch coming up. I look forward to seeing what she does next. Let's take a look at a clip. Sounds good. Goodness. What's the matter? No, mom, not at all. I'm just in town on business. Business. I didn't expect you. The house is not up to par for visitors, I'm afraid. Looks just fine. Come on inside. There is already Emmy buzz about what you've done here on this project and, of course, that was Patricia Clarkson playing your mother-in-law. She's so fantastic in this. You said that was some of the tough ever scenes with her. Yeah, absolutely. We have a very, very complicated relationship so if you think your mom is bad you got to watch this because she's terrifying and but it's a really interesting complicated relationship between the two of them so shooting those scenes was always hard because you -- that -- creating that sort of tension but also affection. They were really intense and deep scenes. I read that you said there's something freeing about playing somebody who is a mess. Yeah, because I'm a mess. Like, you know -- Join the club. Not always but I have those times and it's really freeing to get to show that side of you and just be open and honest about who you are and, you know, there are times in there where I'm not wearing any makeup and what you look like and it's freeing. In this world of everything looking so perfect and retouched it's nice to show who you are. When one of our audience members walked out and they said you're so beautiful and you said I didn't wake up that way. There's a lot of eye patches. Multiple. You play a reporter in this. I do. As a fellow reporter here, Lois lane, one of the best. Thank you. And this little guy here said all he's thinking of is Lois lane. Might we see a Lois lane led movie. I would love that. I think we need that. She's such a great character and there's a whole Canon of hers as well, a story that's not been told, whether it's me or not I'm in full support of a Lois film. And your number one fan would too. It is throwback Thursday and take it all the way back to 1999. Oh, yeah. Your first film, right, "Drop dead gorgeous." There you are. Oh, yeah. So good. Yeah. What favorite memory from that. That was the first time I had ever been on a film set and for me just the experience of learning, I sat down beside the sound cart and I didn't know what they were talking about so everyone was so gracious and was -- it was kind of an education for me so sitting behind the sound cart and listening and learning about angles and takes and lenses and that was so much fun and everybody was so open and helpful. Well, we are loving where you are right now. Congratulations on this new project.
