Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin at Labor Day press conference
Kate Winslet says she was glad that director Jason Reitman chose not to rehearse scenes for new film Labour Day.
Winslet teams up with director Reitman and actor Josh Brolin for the new drama: a drama that is screening at the BFI London Film Festival.
Speaking at the press conference at the festival this afternoon Winslet said she was more than happy to not to rehearse.
"One thing Jason chooses to do is not rehearse. I think Jason was quite worried that I might be like, 'We have to have rehearsals!' But I don't care about rehearsals.
"I very much felt that Jason's choice to not rehearse lent itself particularly to 'Labour Day', because for us as actors, we genuinely didn't know what he was going to do next, what he would want of us as actors.
"I was always very grateful that we hadn't marked everything out, and although, we ourselves had done our own homework in knowing who we wanted our characters to be, nothing was revealed until each day [on set]."
Labour Day is the first time that Winslet has teamed up with Brolin as she takes on the role of a single mother who helps hid a convict.
We haven't seen Winslet on the big screen since Movie 43 at the beginning of the year. Labour Day is just one of the films that we will be seeing Winslet star in next year as she has also completed work on Divergent and A Little Chaos.
Labour Day is released 7th February 2014.
