Elsewhere, actress James recently confessed that her Rebecca character Mrs de Winter's sense of paranoia "overtook" her while shooting.
"Towards the end of making it, I started getting this thing where my heart was beating so loudly that you could hear it," she explained.
"It's really scary. All of a sudden, you become very, very aware of your heartbeat and you can feel it going really fast. And when you look at the psychological aspect of the book, and the darkness and the twistedness in it, it suddenly made sense.
"I think I got a bit sucked into the vortex."
Rebecca is now streaming on Netflix.
