Looks like she's going to spend a couple of days there and she's got Kayleen with her, too, which is always amazing

I hope Kayleen posts something either on Instagram or Snapchat

At the Tokyo press conference yesterday:

Quote:

Rachel McAdams, the actress who portrayed a Boston Globe reporter in the Oscar-winning "Spotlight," believes journalists should be praised as "unsung heroes," although nothing is easy about their jobs except for the frumpy clothes they get to wear.

"It really is a dying art, and not for the faint of heart either," she told reporters in Tokyo Thursday. "They keep institutions on their toes and keep people accountable."

"Spotlight," directed and written by Tom McCarthy, depicts how newspaper reporters uncovered how dozens of priests in the Archdiocese of Boston had molested and raped children for decades, while church higher-ups covered it up and shuffled abusive priests from parish to parish.

The film, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Screenplay, opens in Japan Friday. The cast includes Mark Ruffalo and Micheal Keaton.

McAdams acknowledged that when she first read the script she wasn't sure anyone would come to see the film because it lacked the cinematic flash associated with blockbusters. McAdams, who also starred in "The Notebook" and "Southpaw," was happy it brought out crowds.

"People were interested in seeing something that was just about the truth, that is the story that needed to be told, and gave voice to the voiceless," she said.

McAdams worked closely with the reporter she portrayed, the Pulitzer-winning Sacha Pfeiffer, to build her character.

She saw that reporters have a hard job because they never know if they will get a story, the hours are long, they rarely get encouragement and pressures are high from powerful interests.

The one good thing about the job is that you can put on a pair of pants and a T-shirt like "a uniform" every day, and not have to think about clothes, she said, appearing at the Foreign Correspondents' Club in an elegant mini-dress splashed with colorful flowers.

"I liked that about playing this character. She was comfortable, which is not usually what actresses are," she said.

That mid-length peach dress was amazing! I instantly fell in love with it. Neither Rob nor Mariel mentioned it on Instagram though. I want to know from what brand it is so bad!

Other than that, she looked so good in all three dresses she chose for this tour. That floral patterned dress at the conference was awesome, too. I'm so glad that she got this opportunity to promote the movie there. Besides, it's always a plus when she's traveling around the world Kayleen

Kayleen seemed to have lots of fun on her Snapchat so I assume Rachel did too

She looks amazing! And it's so cute and funny that she's so much bigger there when we know how small she is as a person.

Spotlight did solid in the Japanese box office:

Quote:

Local anime take the No. 1 and 2 spots in their debuts, while 'Batman v. Superman' spends its fourth weekend in the top five.

Academy Award-winner Spotlight opened at No. 7 in its limited release in Japan, grossing a strong ¥88 million ($813,000) over three days and $628,000 on Saturday and Sunday from 109 screens. This is a solid if unexceptional start for the film, which despite its Oscars, deals with a story largely unfamiliar to Japanese audiences.

Local analysts predict a final cume of around $4.6 million.

Rachel McAdams was in Japan last week to promote the film, released locally as Spotlight Seki no Scoop (Scoop of the Century) about journalists who exposed the cover-up of sexual abuse of children by Roman Catholic priests. McAdams, who plays Sacha Pfeiffer, a member of The Boston Globe’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Spotlight investigative team, spoke at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, where she described journalists as "unsung heroes" and described reporting as "a dying art and not for the faint of heart."

I think if it will indeed make amount the 4.6M it might hit another milestone world wide: It will pass the 90M mark
