“I was on a very long road trip and the traffic was crazy,” Taylor told the Today show, when asked how she first got in contact with filmmaker Anderson, 55, about making the movie. “I never would have thought in a million years PTA would personally call me, so to get a call from him, he’s like ‘Hey, what’s up?’ And I’m like ‘Who is this? Who is this? This has been a long day,’ and he’s like ‘This is PTA,’ and I’m instantly like, ‘Hey, what’s going on? How are you?’ ”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Taylor’s new movie One Battle After Another is in theaters Sept. 26. Pierre most recently appeared on screen as the voice of Mufasa in last year’s Lion King prequel, as well as in an episode of The Morning Show’s fourth season.<\/p>\n
