“The really good thing about choosing someone like Julia Roberts is that you don’t have to worry about the likeability factor,” the director told Netflix about the “Pretty Woman” participation in the new film. “Julia has an amazing ability to channel the humanity of each character, no matter how flawed they are,” he said, according to Fotogramas.

In the plot, the actress plays Amanda, a woman who decides to go on vacation to Long Island with her husband Clay, played by Ethan Hawke, and their two children. The family stays in a luxurious Airbnb and enjoys the peace and quiet until the real owners of the house return due to an impending apocalypse.
