Jennifer Connelly, the Oscar winner for A Beautiful Mind, said it took playing a female lead on TNT's adaptation of the feature film Snowpiercer to get her back to working in television. "There's great work being done in television right now.
I like the idea that I can stay awhile. And I like that there was a woman at the heart of this whole darn thing. That was pretty compelling," Connelly on Tuesday told a Banff World Media Festival online panel.
Snowpiercer, based on the 2013 film by Bong Joon Ho, is about a massive train that carries what's left of humanity around the world after an attempt to stop global warming leads to a new Ice Age.
