![]() We cut most of it out before we actually filmed it, which allowed us to keep the budget extremely low and we still have huge car accidents and all that stuff. It let me do that slowly and more in a see-saw than in one quick flick and I think that is a more accurate portrayal of how people change and how people tap into their strength.ĭave this is a lean film, is there stuff that got cut and what was the MPAA experience like for you guys?ĭave Meyers: I had a great MPAA experience, it didn’t focus on the violence in the film even though there is some, I tried to keep everything on thrills and suspense. So it allowed me to show both sides and it allowed me to flip the scales from her being happy-go-lucky to her being stripped down and very animalistic. I think that gave me some license to go on the emotional roller-coaster so that I didn’t have to be just one kind of woman or another because when Grace wasn’t going to make it Jim pulled her up, and when Jim wasn’t going to make it Grace pulled him up and it was a very symbiotic relationship. Something that made it great was for me was a lot of what Zach and I got to do together, because we spent a week in Texas working on the chemistry of our relationship and how Jim and Grace behaved and reacted and the ways we messed with one another the way that partners in a long-standing relationship do. Sophia Bush: That was a big thing for me and something that we definitely looked into because I don’t want to be that girl, running around whining and irritating, and at the same time I don’t want to come out like Lara Croft, guns blazing because that’s not quite right either. Sophia what are the challenges of playing a role like this and avoiding the clichés of playing a damsel in distress? As Sean said we just wanted to give him a blank slate and let him go and do what we was going to do with it, there was no thinking of a prequel until you just brought it up, and we’ll now discuss that after this. Is the fact that we don’t know much about John Ryder in hopes to make a prequel so we can learn why he is so demented?Īndrew Form: I don’t see a prequel happening. ![]() I usually like to have something to go on, for this particular movie I was pleased that he was like an angel of death, a phantom wandering the freeways… It quite appealed to me. I always find that the less you know about people, the less you trust them. It was scarier that you don’t know anything about him or where he comes from. Sean Bean: There wasn’t a great deal of back history to the guy, not much information about where he came from which I thought was quite interesting because it allowed me the freedom to create what I wanted and to invent him as a person. ![]() Sophia Bush: It was just a scene where I was in bed with Sophia. And you know Sean is going to be in the bed, you know he’s going to be there so you’re just waiting for it to happen. Andrew Form: It’s tricky, how do you get Zach out of that room and get Sean in? We had this whole scene constructed where we did want Sean in bed with Sophia and we had to get Zach out of that motel room.
