Directed by Joel David Moore (Avatar) and starring Amanda Crew (Final Destination 3), Tom Felton (Harry Potter) and Ashley Greene (Twilight), Some Other Woman is a mental mystery that follows a woman who begins to wonder if she is losing weight. the head. or her husband’s loyalty when a woman slowly intrudes into their lives.
A must-see for any horror fan, the film takes us to unexpected places and, a while before the holidays, we had the opportunity to talk to Amanda about her role as Eva.
Given the twisted nature of Some Other Woman, we began the interview by asking the actress about her reaction to the script when she first sat down to read it:
“When I got sent the script, I really was not expecting to connect with it so much. What’s crazy is we shot this in 2021. It’s been a process getting it out there so it feels so long ago, like who I was at that time. I really resonated with Eve’s journey of living a life that you’ve been sold and told is the dream and then questioning – having something disrupt all of that – the validity of what you’ve been sold and trying to uncover what is true for you. It’s such an unravelling process that I went through personally at the time.”
“I was coming off of an experience like that when they sent me the script. I actually identified with their adventure and it was very cohesive and cathartic to be able to put that into my performance and the experience I was having. ” That functionality was really cathartic and that’s probably why this movie will remain one of my top three most thoughtful experiences I’ve had in my career so far, because it was one of them. rare delights where life imitates art and it really moved me. “
As noted above, Felton is one of Amanda’s co-stars and plays her character’s husband. Although the Flash star is best known for betting on Draco Malfoy, that wasn’t the case for Amanda, as she never watched the Harry Potter movies!
However, it was incredible to understand their dynamic on set:
“[Laughs] When I met him, I thought, ‘I have to be honest, I’ve never noticed a Harry Potter movie. ‘ I know it’s a sin to say it out loud and your enthusiasts will come after me, but maybe it was better than this way because I felt like I could get to know him and I was so impressed by his ability that I enjoyed running with him. He’s an incredible scene partner and I feel like he literally brought out the most productive in me. “
“He was so encouraging and supportive and a real teammate. I think sometimes when actors have come off a huge franchise like that, it’s a very specific acting experience being on those and so sometimes an actor has a harder time adapting to smaller projects and the idea of getting in the trenches. It couldn’t be further from the truth for Tom. He truly, truly loves acting and is so passionate about it. It was really refreshing.”
