Keri Russell wants ‘The Americans’ Season 3 to concentrate on Philip and Elizabeth’s relationship

“The Americans” hasn’t yet completed its second season, but FX already picked up the Cold War spy drama for Season 3. While promoting her new movie “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” at WonderCon Anaheim 2014, star Keri Russell says she’d like to see the series go back to basics in 2015.

“My favorite is when it’s concentrated on the relationship and it’s really a metaphor for marriage. That’s my favorite way,” she tells Zap2it on the red carpet. “I love the spy stuff, I love the way it raises the stakes and complicates the weird relationship, but I like the marriage stuff.”

Between her work on “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” and her commitment to “The Americans,” Russell had a busy year. She says she plans to spend the summer relaxing before getting back into character as Elizabeth Jennings.

“I want to just spend the summer not working at all. I want to take my kids to school and pick them up, and I want to travel anywhere, any time, so any friend that’s going somewhere, I want to go, and then work again in the fall,” she says.

“The Americans” Season 2 airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FX.

I do secretly want my 21-year-old butt back. But other than that, I like being here, this age.”

WonderCon 2014: Gary Oldman & Keri Russell on Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

I didn’t realize Gary Oldman speaks so slowly. That accounts for the brevity of this interview, but I was indeed speaking with Oldman and Keri Russell at WonderCon for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Hey, I’ll eat up my time listening to Gary Oldman talk. Let’s call it deliberate. As Troy McClure’s agent would say, these acclaimed actors play…. the humans. Ellie (Russell) and Dreyfus (Oldman) are survivors of the epidemic that wiped out most of humanity, and they are about to witness Caesar (Andy Serkis) bring the apes to power.

CraveOnline: Is a harmonious existence between humans and apes out of the question?

Keri Russell: Well, I think that’s the question of this film. No, and I think this moment there’s hope for it. This moment, that’s what we’re asking. Could it happen? Continue reading WonderCon 2014: Gary Oldman & Keri Russell on Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
