Sophie has this actually nice second within the movie the place a younger fan says, “I need to be such as you, not your superhero character.” It actually struck me. I might love to listen to your ideas on that second.

Effectively, that was only a lovely second that I believe got here out of lots of conversations about empowering this girl and never making a scenario the place she’s operating out of 1 man’s arms and simply into the opposite’s. Not operating away from her profession and into a lifetime of merely romance or being so career-focused that she will’t have a relationship. 

We had rather a lot to stability by way of making her kind of get what she desires in the long run, and I believe she’s offered this miraculous alternative [for] what she thought she at all times wished, however then additionally realizing that she’s perhaps overpassed herself within the course of. I believe the little lady, in a manner, represents an individual that, she sees herself in her, and that she will look as much as herself, and that being only a actually empowering second for her in the long run there.

I really like that you’ve got a dance background and dance ended up on this film. Jonah [Feingold, writer/director] instructed me that it wasn’t within the script to start with. How did that every one occur?

The scene initially was — some music begins, and she or he goes, “I am actually dangerous at dancing.” And he is like, “Me, too.” And I used to be like, “I am certain Diego’s good at dancing,” however I would not have mentioned something. They discovered that I’ve a dance background, and we talked it out, they usually actually wished to lean into this entire dance scene. So we discovered a choreographer who I might labored with, and he simply did an important job with the unique composition from Grant [Fonda]. Desi [Jevon, choreographer] and Grant kind of collaborated very well and, yeah, lots of rehearsing, and it was lots of enjoyable. 

There have been couple occasions we rehearsed it fairly closely earlier than we began capturing, after which we weren’t capturing it till a lot later within the course of. So there have been a few afternoons the place we practiced on a sundown patio, and it was like, “Effectively, that is lovely. Can we simply movie it now?” So yeah, it was actually enjoyable. I form of surprise if we keep in mind it now, if we needed to, would we keep in mind the steps? I do not know.
