![]() I always find it interesting when you work on a stage, and they build something up and it’s as close as you can get it, it feels amazing. And it was so surreal, because here you are in Paris, and it’s playing such a big character in your film, and you’re using it to every degree. We shot a scene under an arch that leads to an entrance of the Louvre. Was there any location or experience in particular that stands out to you when you think back on it? What kind of effect do you think working on location has on the film? I think it was really interesting the way that was done. But it’s really amazing how it’s all balanced out and how it makes perfect sense in the film, and how Kevin’s character, Ethan, how his world, how his job completely works its way out and around her life. I think, me personally, I always wish I was involved in the craziness. So, when you watched the movie back, were there any scenes that you wished you could have been involved in or a part of? Because your character, Zoey, is pretty removed from all of the big fight scenes. ![]() So, there’s a lot going on and I think there are so many different things along with the action that sort of draw me to these movies. ![]() He was showing me the first few minutes, and he was like, “I bet you didn’t have any idea you were a part of this movie, did you?” And I didn’t because, you know, it’s so big and on such a large scale, the action, and then you have these incredible moments between Zoey and her father. I remember McG was showing me some of the film when I saw him a couple months ago. With 3 Days to Kill, it’s extremely thrilling and very action-oriented, but you have that father-daughter relationship that I was really drawn to. The action or thrilling part is a bonus, in other words. I think all of the films that I’ve done that have an action element comes after what I see as very character-driven and very heartwarming. Is there something about this genre in particular that keeps drawing you back? You’ve done films of many genres – romance, indie, westerns – but so many of your films are very action-oriented. He’s really good at playing the secret agent thing. He didn’t! I didn’t know that I was doing Barely Lethal when I was shooting 3 Days to Kill, but it was so interesting because I was watching a couple of movies and I was thinking – it’s so funny you said that because I definitely thought about it – and I was like, “I have had a dad that was one!” I was able to sort of think of that. Did you pick up any tips from Kevin when you were filming, or did he give you any advice for when it was your turn? You’re actually playing an assassin yourself in your upcoming film Barely Lethal. So it happened very organically and in sync with the film in a way. And then by the end of the film, Kevin and I were really able to bond and get to know each other, and we had a really great relationship that I think really came through onscreen. When we started the first few weeks of filming, we filmed the first few scenes of the movie that you see Ethan and Zoey in, where they’re sort of estranged and don’t necessarily know each other. What was your relationship on-set with Kevin Costner like? Did you keep your distance so your characters would feel more estranged, or was it a lot more relaxed and casual? It was so much fun diving into it, and since playing a teenage girl was something I was able to identify with fairly easily, I had a really great time with it. And then on top of that, you have this incredible father-daughter relationship that you see evolve throughout the film, and I loved everything about that. I really love him and his work, and reading it and getting that heart pounding, action-thriller vibe was a really exciting thing. ![]() When I read the script, first of all, I couldn’t believe that I had my hands on something that Luc Besson had written. Was the combination of those things what drew you to the film, or was it working with Kevin Costner, or even just the chance to shoot in France?Įverything you just said. The film is a lot of fun, and very exciting, but there’s also this strong emotional thread running through it with Ethan and Zoey. ![]()
