00:02These women come from different countries, different intelligence agencies,
00:06and they put their differences aside and get to it, you know? And I think there's a power in that.
00:14Jessica Chastain called me and said, have you ever watched a movie, espionage thriller movie,
00:20with women at the helm? And I couldn't think of anything. So she had this idea to create an
00:26ensemble, an international ensemble of women who would come together in this spy,
00:31espionage thriller genre, and kick ass and save the world.
00:38Really practiced the hell out of those stunts. And it was great because, you know, you have
00:43to learn stunts, you have to learn kind of like a dance. The more familiar you are with it before
00:48you actually need to perform it, the better.
00:53My favorite thing about her is also the thing that I'm most intimidated by, which is her intellect
00:59and her ability to understand computer jargon in a way that I never could. She does have a
01:08an honesty about her. She's quite frank in a way that I love.
01:19And I remember just thinking, oh my God, pinch me. I'm so lucky. And I feel like I, at every
01:25stage
01:25of my career, I felt that way. And so for every production assistant out there, I'd say enjoy it,
01:32because there is, there, it's a, it's a beautiful thing to be exactly where you are when you're there.
