Actor Meg Ryan poses at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures gala in Los Angeles, California, U.S. September 25, 2021.
Eight years after her last Hollywood film, Ryan stars in "What Happens Later" as Willa, a woman who reunites with a former partner ("X-Files" star David Duchovny) when they are both snowed in at an airport.
Ryan said she spent three years working to bring the project to the screen.
"What Happens Later" is among several films from independent production companies to receive waivers from the SAG-AFTRA actors union, meaning the actors were free to speak about the movie despite the ongoing strike.
"You never got the sense that she was overwhelmed or feeling the pressure, which I'm sure she was from time to time."
