Hey, Daisy. How are you? Good.
How are you? I'm good, thanks.
It's very weird saying this, but I know exactly where you are,
having done junkets for such a long time on our hotel here.
And I think
unless you know about the decor.
Yeah, unless you've got a really super
good green screen with a background that's from.
This is just my bedroom.
Like there in London.
Thank you so much for your time today.
And that's on the film. Thanks.
I watched this very, very early
in the morning at Sundance because of the UK time difference as well.
Of course, in the morning, I got up to watch it five so that I did,
but I would have been nuts.
A good way to wake up.
That's certainly a way to wake up. Yeah.
It wasn't a standard Sundance.
Kind of film in that sense.
I was. I really, really enjoyed it.
I wanted to begin by asking you when you got a script,
this script is called Fresh or whatever it was called.
When you got it,
were you anticipated doing what it was about that they give you any hint?
And were you surprised
as to just where it ended up going without giving any spoilers away?
Yeah, when I when I got it through my inbox,
my my agents, so they were quite clever in the way they described it.
They were like, it's a great group of people making it.
It's like it's a really exciting script.
Take a read.
But I didn't know what was what was coming.
And so and, you know, I genuinely was just like
completely shocked by every twist and turn that Lauryn [Kahn] takes us on.
When you read it and I was actually in the back of the car or back of a car
on the way somewhere, and I was staying at a hotel on the other side.
And when we arrived, it was in darkness, and I had to walk to the hotel
and I was so spooked because I just read this really quite dark
script. So.
So yeah, it was a real ride to read. Yeah.
I guess that put you in Noa's Headspace pretty much straight away.
Yes, it did.
Anyway, so much.
And over your shoulder, it's such a there's so much goodness.
The script is so, so good and you know, so well directed by Mimi [Cave]
I just wanted it for you.
What was the thing that kind of struck you about it?
Because it's it's a horror. It's a comedy as well.
There's a lot of kind of the same dark comedy that's in
things like American Psycho, where it's very dark and quite dry.
But also there's
this allegory of modern dating and modern women and everything else.
So what was it that initially kind of grabbed you?
I think it really was like, I love dark comedies as a genre that my favorite films
are, you know, using sort of comedy to to sort of talk about something darker.
I love that.
I loved the play on on those two things.
And I think
what I loved about the script is Lauryn had written a brilliant soundtrack
throughout it.
So you were able to play the songs as you were reading.
And I find that very helpful because sometimes,
you know, you can read a script and have a very clear idea of it and then,
you know, it might be very different to you know, those who are making it.
And I think
music is so helpful to give you an idea of really what the tone is going to be,
and you have a much better sense of what it's going to be.
So I think what I loved is these really dark scenes were being played
too, like Gloria and you know, and I'm like, oh... that is amazing.
You know, American Psycho is a real and favorite film of mine.
So it did really remind me of that.
And so I think that's what really drew me was the tone.
And but also, yeah, this idea of using that genre to and to talk about something
in a really entertaining way, you know, so those who watch the film can take
can can watch it and just enjoy it for what it is.
Or they can take something deeper.
And I think, you know, it doesn't hit you on the head over the head with anything.
And thematically, it just sort of gives it to you in a really fun way.
And I just thought it was really well done in the script.
Yeah. It's time to have a question so I can ask you.
But as a final question,
I don't know if you've ever seen this, but and Ex Machina, there's now
a gif of Oscar Isaac dancing. And on Twitter,
they've put loads of different songs to him doing his dance moves.
from Ex Machina and I feel while watching this at you and Sebastian [Stan]'s
dancing is going to be the next big mame.
Oh, my gosh. I just.
I just wondered what it was like doing that scene.
And are you ready for that to become the ,
the gift that people are going to start using as of, after March
I love that.
I love that gif.
I've seen the one that's to get down at Saturday night.
I don't know if that's the actual song as the actual one.
Right, right, right. It's so good.
I mean, I thought that that scene was so fun to do. Our director Mimi,
She used to be a dancer, so she she's, you know, amazing with movement.
And she had a really clear idea of what it was going to be.
And and so we had a little dance routine, and it was so fun to do.
You know, I love that kind of surreal thing.
You know, you think you're somewhere
that it's such a different direction and I thought was so fun.
To do so I be really cool.
If it were Mimi-fied I'd love.
Yeah. I'm just thinking in my head what songs it could go to, I'm sure.
But would you say
like Oscar Isaac songs where there's like, Bob the Builder behind him
and I love that song.
So you never know.
You've made you've made it as an actor.
Yeah.
A dance sequence you and Sebastian with Bob the Builder behind you.
Yeah. I think that would be great.
Thank you so much for time
And I hope the film goes really well for you because I really enjoyed it.
It's fantastic.
Thank you. Thank you so much. Bye.
