August Osage County movie cast Meryl Streep has compared the "18-pages" heavy drama dinner table scene to an "Olympic event" saying:

"It just goes to the deepest part of what I believe about being an actor, that you have to bring it even when the camera's not on you," Streep said in a recent interview. "It was very hard to sustain 18 pages of ranting - of seething and waiting and then pouncing and ranting. To maintain your fury. It's great the first couple times you do it, you feel fantastic. ... But by the 12th or 15th or 30th time I had done it, I was flagging.

"I looked at it almost like an Olympic (event): OK. Everybody says you're so good? Well, (expletive) show me! Do it for Benedict Cumberbatch! Do it for Abigail (Breslin) down there at the end! Because now the camera is finally turning around on them and they deserve every bit of it. But that's acting. It's just what it is."

The dinner table scene with 18 pages of dialogue, mostly from Violet Weston played by none other than the award winning actress Meryl Streep, took almost four excruciating but extremely fulfilling days to complete.

The scene includes the performances of all-star ensembles including Julia Roberts, Chris Cooper, Julianne Nicholson, Margo Martindale and Benedict Cumberbatch.

Directo John Wells claimed that Streep has been rehearsing her roles for the movie nine months prior to its production date. Truly, she does make things look easy by working hard on it.

"In some ways she doesn't get fully credited with how talented she is because there's a little bit of a dismissive thing which is, 'Oh, well, it's Meryl. You know it's going to be good,'" Wells claims. "The assumption that you're always going to be terrific puts a tremendous additional burden on actually taking the risks that are necessary to continue what you're interested in doing as an artist."

Meryl Streep even insisted on making all of the "August Osage County Movie" cast live together near the location in Oklahoma to create a connection between the cast.

She was working late with Martindale, who plays her sister in the film, who also said that the dinner table scene was "grueling" for Streep.

"She raised the bar so high that everybody was there 150 per cent," according to Martindale. "At the end of the film, she was exhausted. She was drained. She gave it her everything, I think. She does it with ease, or you think it's with ease."
