Cynthia Erivo is well on her way to becoming the youngest EGOT winner of all time!
among the likes of Charlize Theron, Lupita Nyong'o and Renée Zellweger, Lemmons says, “I really think that she’s as good as any actress who has ever played anything.”
“We did a lot of meditation on Harriet and just evoking her,” says Lemmons, who had Erivo focus on two things: her face and her voice. “I said, ‘Look her face, look at her eyes, look at the downturn of her mouth and ask, How did she get this face?’” she recalls. “It helped us feel her and tell us what she’s been through. Also, where her voice was placed because we knew her voice wasn’t Cynthia’s voice. Even her singing voice is very different that Cynthia’s singing voice.
“I knew that we would have to access a physicality that wasn’t like mine, but still had the strength and speed and power,” says Erivo, who is now famous for her running scene in. “I had to keep reminding myself this is not a woman who trained to run this way. She has learned to run and learn to move the way she moves for necessity. And so I wanted to make sure that came naturally.”
Knowing that she wanted a “really powerful, culminating song” to close out the film, Lemmons says she listened to various demos before settling on one submitted by Campbell, who had come to the attention of the filmmakers after a performance of his song, “Sing Out/March On,” at Harvard University’s 2018 commencement ceremony went viral.
