00:06Do you feel like the beginning of my career, when I very first started, I was so young, there had
00:12been Sigourney Weaver and then there was nobody else.
00:15When I was 18, 19 years old, you didn't read a script that had an action movie, a big commercial
00:21movie that had a central female character who wasn't being rescued or saved or was actually driving the action.
00:27And I remember I used to be quite sort of like, they should do that. And now that they do,
00:31I feel really privileged. I'm one of the few people who gets to, you know, gets to do that. I
00:35do feel good about that.
00:45She's somebody who was in the police force in Miami and after her partner has betrayed her terribly, she loses
00:53a lot of confidence in her judgment of people.
00:55and decides to take a job that's completely, you know, far away from everything that she's been involved in and
01:03isn't very taxing.
01:05You know, she's not really expecting to see any real service. She's going to file paperclips and do inventory and
01:11that's it.
01:12And then they find a body on the ice in somewhat mysterious circumstances and she has to step up and
01:19actually do her job.
01:31I really thought it was going to be like that. I felt like all these American actors and they've been
01:35growing up in LA and I'll show them how to do the cold and I couldn't even get a word
01:39out.
01:39The first day I stepped out of the trailer and my whole throat closed. Nothing like I'd ever experienced ever.
01:53It was beautiful. It really was gorgeous. And we had a lovely time. My daughter came with me, my mum
01:57was there.
01:59My mum ended up extreme tobogganing on her 60th birthday, which I thought was kind of a, that's an action
02:05thing to do.
02:06It was amazing. And the sunrises and sunsets were just beautiful.
02:19Gabriel, Alex and Columbus were, and I were just this extremely tight group on the set because, you know, it
02:26was quite difficult.
02:27It was quite gruelling and we did get beaten up every day and you really want to feel that you've
02:32got, you know, people around you who you can have a good laugh with and have your back.
02:36And I just got so lucky. I got the best boys ever. And we've really stayed. I mean, Columbus and
02:42I have been on holiday with our families together and had Christmas together.
02:46And so they're really, they're very strong relationships. They're all really silly and funny.
02:58He was great. Well, he has a really good eye for what he wants. It's a very chaotic set, you
03:03know, with snow and all sorts of things that could go wrong.
03:05And it was great that he knew exactly visually what he was after all the time.
03:09And we didn't have a very, you know, we didn't have one of those relationships with actor and director where,
03:14you know, you're talking constantly about the character.
03:17When I was in a parka with goggles and a snow machine and wind machine and, you know, it was
03:21a bit more of kind of, I think the director's the one in the red jacket.
03:24I'm not sure, but hi, you know, and he would have a megaphone.
03:27So it wasn't as intimate as perhaps an independent drama would feel the relationship.
03:32But he always was incredibly good humoured and it was really nice to have him there.
03:47So it was really the reason I got involved at all because Joel's enthusiasm is just, I mean, famously incredibly
03:54infectious.
03:55So he was the one that was really pumped about the idea of doing the very first merger in Antarctica
04:00and all of that.
04:01So he was really what got me involved in the first place.
04:03And then he was there in the beginning and then I think it got really cold and he suddenly had
04:10to go and do something else.
04:11But he called up on the phone a whole lot.
04:14He was great.
04:15I loved Joel.
04:24I mean, not so much.
04:25I feel like, you know, I'm very happy if you went, I would really like to see your photographs, but
04:31I'd like to go to Hawaii now.
