Silence on Set

Dylan O'Brien sat down with us to talk about what it was like becoming Colin in his latest film, Not Okay. The movie showcases the ups and downs that come with using social media. So we had to ask all of the questions -- O'Brien talks about becoming blonde, getting into the look of Colin, a shoutout for a prior film, working with Zoey again, and the intensity of his Twitter account. We want to thank Dylan for the sweet message after the interview.

Madelaine Petsch stopped by to talk about her new psychological thriller, Jane. Petsch talks about aspects of her character she related to, especially when it comes to anxiety. We both agree that there is a lack of resources and this film does a great job of showing the effects of not getting the proper treatment or having someone around supporting you. However, Petsch reiterates that this movie is fun and meant to be a thriller, hoping fans enjoy the twisted storyline as much as she did.

Nicholas Galitzine, star of Purple Hearts, discusses the importance of getting things right in the film, working hard to research and speak to as many people who have served as possible, and how hard it was in terms of filming and getting through those weird chemistry tests done virtually. Since the movie was filmed during COVID, Galitzine said many things were different, but the experience was special. While he did address that one controversial lunch scene from the film -- we did spend more time talking about the amount of work he put into the film and some behind-the-scenes details. 

*This interview was done over the phone because Galitzine was on break while filming: Red, White & Royal Blue, which just finished shooting yesterday. We got a few details about his new film and role.

Director, Scott Mann, came by to talk about the rollercoaster of a ride he puts the viewer through in his latest movie, Fall. Mann was overly excited to speak about the movie, which takes place almost entirely at the top of a tower, and how he kept the audience engaged while maintaining true to the storyline. Mann did confirm a few things: yes, it was that high, yes, the actors were stuck up there every day, and yes, the conditions you see them in were all real. So what does that mean? You are in for quite a treat when you watch this film, and two women fight to stay alive. We also spoke a bit about casting and, of course, everyone's love for Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Synopsis:

In a state-of-the-art penitentiary run by brilliant visionary Steve Abnesti (Chris Hemsworth), inmates wear a surgically attached device that administers dosages of mind-altering drugs in exchange for commuted sentences. There are no bars, no cells, or orange jumpsuits. In Spiderhead, incarcerated volunteers are free to be themselves. Until they’re not. At times, they’re a better version. Need to lighten up? There’s a drug for that. At a loss for words? There’s a drug for that, too. But when two subjects, Jeff (Miles Teller) and Lizzy (Jurnee Smollett), form a connection, their path to redemption take a twistier turn, as Abnesti’s experiments start to push the limits of free will altogether. Based on The New Yorker short story by George Saunders, SPIDERHEAD is a genre-bending and darkly funny psychological thriller directed by Joseph Kosinski (TRON: Legacy, Top Gun: Maverick) and written by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick (Deadpool, Zombieland).

Greenfield and Brandt (who play husband and wife in the movie) discuss how more money brings more problems and the importance of getting the comedic timing right while bringing their characters to life. While Derbez discusses the importance of being seen, tackling touch material, and having a voice. Wong, who steered this ship, said that making this film was very important for a multitude of reasons, including seeing immigrants in starring roles.
