Meg Ryan to Be honoured at Sarajevo Film Festival

<p>After giving us some of the most iconic romantic characters in Hollywood, Meg Ryan made a houdini act and bid an unsaid goodbye to Hollywood. In a cover story for People magazine, Meg speaks about her decades-long absence, how she wanted a life beyond cinema and more.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As Meg makes her impending return to the screen, she speaks about her new romcom film <em>What Happens Later</em>. Returning to the screen after so long, Meg said, “It’s nice to think of it as a job and not a lifestyle. And that is a great way of navigating it for me.”</p>

<p>Dabbling with family life and parenting, Meg was happy focusing on her role as a mother to son Jack who is now 31 with ex-husband Dennis Quaid and her 18-year-old daughter Daisy, whom she adopted in 2006. “I took a giant break because I felt like there’s just so many other parts of my experience as a human being I wanted to develop,” she added.</p>

<p>Meg Ryan will be seen returning to the screen in the director's chair in <em>What Happens Later.</em> She will also star in the film, opposite David Duchovny. The film is about two exes who become stranded in an airport overnight alone together after their flights are delayed. Ryan describes it as a “little roller-coaster ride between these two people, and it asks the question in a way: Will they or won’t they end up together?”</p>

<p>Speaking about the film, Meg said, “These are people who broke one another’s hearts way back. And I think what they gained is that they have gratitude for that. The essence of it is these two people who are stuck together. I just love that idea that we are held in a space, even if it feels conflicted, maybe for reasons that heal them.”&nbsp;</p>

This is why Meg Ryan took a break from Hollywood for almost a decade

<p>One of the most anticipated films this summer is 'Top Gun: Maverick'. While Tom Cruise returns in his iconic role Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, the film does have the female actors - Meg Ryan and Kelly McGillis who played the female leads in the original 1986 film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Director Joseph Kosinski, while speaking to Insider, revealed why the female characters were not part of the 2022 film<br />
"Those weren't stories that we were throwing around," Kosinski said.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In the original classic, Gillis played Top Gun instructor Charlie Blackwood while Ryan portrayed Goose's(Anthony Edwards) wife Carole Bradshaw.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Kosinski stated that the makers wanted to do something different with 'Top Gun: Maverick' compared to the original.&nbsp;<br />
"I didn't want every storyline to always be looking backwards," Kosinski said. "It was important to introduce some new characters."</p>

McGillis said she had approached for 'Top Gun: Maverick' during a July 2019 interview with Entertainment Tonight, explaining, "I look age appropriate for what my age is and that is not what that whole scene is about."<br />
<br />
"To me, I'd much rather feel absolutely secure in my skin and who and what I am at my age as opposed to placing a value on all that other stuff," she added.<br />
