Blockbuster.co.uk posted a really good interview they did with Saoirse on their website. Below is a snippet from the interview, click here to read more!
“The biggest physical and emotional challenge that I faced on the film,” reveals Ronan, “was the scene underground. The scene where I’m lured into the bunker and, though you don’t really see it, the scene where I’m murdered by George [Stanley Tucci]. There’s that shot of me escaping, which is what we all want to believe happened, and that took a long time to figure out. It was a bit more difficult than usual to completely commit myself to the physical side of that scene as for one, I had a cold, and secondly there was so much going on emotionally. It was pretty draining.
“I was lucky that when she shot that scene, we were quite far into the shooting process, so we’d had lots of time to prepare for it. Also Stanley was really helpful. We got on very well from the time we first met and now we’re really close. We didn’t really know each other until we started that scene, so it could have been intense, but we kept the atmosphere light. Because Stanley is a family man himself, in between takes he felt the need to take care of me and make sure that I was okay, which I thought was very sweet. Even though he was still in that state of mind, he was able to switch from this monster he was playing to the father he really is, because it’s natural in him.”
