Zendaya Covers The September Issue Of InStyle Magazine
Zendaya is on the cover of the September issue of InStyle magazine. The young actress is on the cover to promote her new film, Dune, which was originally scheduled to be released in November. Highlights from her interview with Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors below.
On shooting Malcolm & Marie while in quarantine: “It was an incredible experience. I’d been talking to Sam [Levinson, the creator of Euphoria] often during the quarantine. Sometimes he’d just call to shoot the shit and chat about life. And eventually I said to him, “I need to do something creative.” So we bounced ideas back and forth, and then he started writing. Sam reached out to John David [Washington] about wanting to be a part of the project, so we fronted our own money and put it together ourselves. Our crew was a very small group of people who are also from Euphoria. And the No. 1 thing was safety. Everyone had to quarantine and get tested in order to shoot in isolation. We created our own little bubble and made sure that once we were in, we couldn’t leave. We were able to workshop and rehearse together — it was very much like a play. I did my own hair and makeup and dressed in my own clothes. And then we shot in black and white on film, so we’ll see how it turns out. I think we were able to create something really special. And I’m grateful that we learned how to do it on our own.”
On her new film Dune and seeing the trailer for it: “Dune was incredible. I wasn’t in it very much, so when I was watching the trailer, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh!’ I called Timothée [Chalamet, who stars in it] and said, ‘Dude! You should be proud.’ It is a big deal to even be a small part of something with such a massive cast. And I love sci-fi stuff too. It’s fun to escape into another world.”
