When Roman calls, Kate goes to work. Holidays can wait.

That’s Roman, as in Polanski, and, Kate as in Winslet, whose new film Carnage, a satirical comedy of manners that skewers overbearing parents, opens today, one day after earning Winslet a Golden Globe nomination for acting.

“I had planned not to work,” Winslet told Reuters in a telephone interview. “But that notion just went right out the window the second I heard the name Roman Polanski.

“One doesn’t think of oneself as being ever sort of Roman Polanski-worthy,” said Winslet about the director of such classics as Chinatown and Rosemary’s Baby. “So you’d have to be kind of stupid, really, not to change your plans.”

Carnage, which also co-stars Jodie Foster, John C. Reilly and Christoph Waltz, is based on Yasmina Reza’s biting Broadway satire of two sets of parents who meet one afternoon to discuss their sons’ playground fracas.

Set smack in the middle of smug self-righteousness that is one of the hallmarks of upscale Brooklyn neighborhoods, the film chronicles in real time the couples’ downward spiral as polite overtures give way to Scotch-and-cobbler-fueled invective — a sort of “Virginia Woolf lite.”

Kate Winslet talks Titanic 3D release

Kate Winslet is about to hit the big screen as Rose once again when Titanic 3D debuts in April, yet the actress isn’t exactly ready to party like it’s 1997.

Titanic 3D is coming to theaters next year! While fans of the mega movie can’t wait to see the ship sink in three dimensions, actress Kate Winslet is struggling with this walk down memory lane.

A lot has changed since Kate Winslet originally took on the role of Rose DeWitt Bukater. In the nearly 15 years since James Cameron’s Titanic first hit theaters, the 36-year-old has married, became a mother to daughter Mia, divorced, remarried, became mother to son Joe, and divorced again. Perhaps it’s understandable then that Kate Winslet feels “disconnected” from her life so long ago.

Regarding Titanic 3D, the actress recently confessed to Stylelist, “You know, at the end of the day, it’s weird. It’s really weird because it’s 15 years ago and I don’t know, I feel very disconnected now from actually what was going on in my life at the time and how I felt. A lot of it, it does really feel like a distant memory, so it’s going to be quite strange to have that sort of thrust into people’s face all over again.”

Kate Winslet continued, “I’ve no idea what it’ll be like, the experience, but it’s exciting to think that a whole new generation of young men and women who, perhaps, haven’t seen it, who may have been conceived after the first date night of a couple going to see Titanic. I mean, God knows. It does mean that a whole new generation of people will be seeing the film and that’s fantastic. That’s wonderful.”

Despite having been nominated for an Academy Award for her Titanic role, Kate Winslet hasn’t yet set eyes on any of the revamped film’s 3D effects. “I’m fascinated to see it in 3D myself,” she said. “I still haven’t seen any of it. I know a couple of people who have and they’re like, ‘God, it looks amazing,’ So yeah, we’ll see.”

Kate Winslet takes method acting a little too seriously.

In her latest movie, Carnage — a Roman Polanski number — the 36-year-old Titanic actress is shown throwing up.

And there wasn’t much imagination required for the particularly gruesome scene.

She tells Empire: “I had to contain a lot of vomit in my mouth, which is not possible.

“My kids came to work for that day, the vomit day, and they haven’t stopped talking about it since.

“On set, everything smelled of sick all day. I went home and it was between the cracks of my fingers, in my hair, just everywhere.”
