00:00I would love to know your thoughts on just what your first thoughts were
00:02when you read the script and saw Maggie's take on the story.
00:06When I first read the script, I was so moved by how intentional Maggie was
00:12with her writing and her vision of bringing the voice of the bride to life.
00:17I think, you know, she tells the story that, you know, the bride,
00:21the original Bride of Frankenstein was only on screen for two and a half minutes or something.
00:25And so to be able to tell that story of what was she thinking in the way that she has,
00:32I mean, I want to be inside Maggie's brain because what we are witnessing with the bride
00:38that you all see this weekend when it comes out is just, it's pure magic.
00:42It's invigoration.
00:44It's a wild abandon to be free and empowered in who we are as women.
00:51And to be a part of that was epic.
00:54I know my role is like, I'm like a movie within the movie.
00:57So I actually like, I'm not in the movie, but I had the most epic experience.
01:04I remember I was like at the table read watching everybody just being like,
01:08wow, this is one, a very special project.
01:12Two, I'm so lucky to be in this room with this caliber of talent and executives
01:15and people who are really like taking a risk on creating this film.
01:22And yeah, it was an honor and a pleasure.
01:24Speaking of the cast, what was it like seeing Jesse and Christian kind of disappear into their characters?
01:30Could you describe what that was like?
01:31Honestly, I've never seen anything like it.
01:34I remember, because I only saw the film for the first time, regardless of ADR, but in London at the
01:41premiere.
01:42And I was just, obviously, going from Hamnet to this role, to The Bride,
01:46they're like polar opposite characters.
01:49And so you can only have an incredible actress like Jesse be able to go from that to that, you
01:55know.
01:55And then, of course, same thing with Christian.
01:57Like him and what he's been able to do.
02:00Like, have you seen it yet?
02:02Like, you just get so lost in it.
02:04And that's what movies are about, you know.
02:07It's getting lost in the characters, the stories, and feeling like, yeah,
02:13you get to be seen through these, like, wild characters, but they're quite humanized.
02:20You know, they're monsters, but they're just, like, they're people, you know.
02:25And I think we all have these demons within us that get to be expressed through them.
02:31So do you think people will find this film relatable, or what do you think our takeaway will be?
02:35Oh, I think it's relatable, especially during this time of life right now that we're all experiencing.
02:41So for all the women out there that haven't had a voice, this movie is so for you.
02:47That just, like, got me hot.
02:50So make sure you go see that to be heard.
02:54So that, I think, is very poignant, especially right now.
02:58And could you let me know what it was like working with Maggie as a director?
03:01What makes her unique?
03:03I mean, the years of experience Maggie has had as an actress, I mean, she's a storyteller.
03:09And to be able to direct so many different people, I remember her talking about how, like,
03:16each person is also different.
03:18And as a director, you have to learn how to communicate with them.
03:21And I think she's just incredible.
03:24I feel so lucky that after so many years of not, you know, being on screen and focusing on acting,
03:29this was my first foray where she gave me so much presence.
03:33No matter how big or small anyone's role is in this film, she made you feel like you are contributing
03:41here and gave you that time and presence.
03:46And she's amazing.
03:47We love you, Maggie.
03:48And did you participate in these screaming sessions we heard happened on set?
03:52I was not there, but that is very much something that I would do.
03:55I mean, with everything that I do already, with, like, breath work and yoga and energy work, that is definitely
04:01my cup of tea.
