![]() ![]() She was the girl who was really certain about who she was, down to wanting to be a NASA mission specialist. You don't want her to be a manic pixie dream girl. ![]() And there are things like that which are really important to create a character and make her special. My very first meeting with Ian, he asked me, "What do you think Margaret likes?" I was like, "I think she would be into anime." Something strange like that changes everything. Yeah! Golf is something that always comes up for me, and I think it means more to me than anybody else making the movie. ![]() In Freaky, they called you Murder Barbie and wrote in golf. In Supernatural, they called you Biker Barbie and wrote in some mini-golf. Speaking of golf, they worked in some references to your interests in other projects. I was hitting golf balls yesterday with my dad, and he actually hit a good shot. I consider that magic when things like that happen, you know? Like it's a little miracle that it happened. There is a line in the script where it says that Margaret has a hair stuck in her mouth, and that actually happened to me when we were shooting! You can't make stuff like this up! We got that scene in one take. I can think of one right now when we were shooting, and that's when Kyle Allen and I were being Mark and Margaret, and we kiss for the first time. What was your tiny perfect thing this month? Or while shooting? Or every 33 1/3 days, if we're being strictly accurate. It was like no time had passed.Ĭambridge mathematician John Littlewood came up with something called Littlewood's Law, which is that if you're paying close attention to the world around you, you should witness about one miracle - or one tiny perfect thing - every month. It's kind of like seeing a best friend that you haven't seen in a while. And it was so fun to revisit the movie after being away from it for a minute.

I was scared that we wouldn't be able to come back because that airport scene is a very important storytelling moment. On our last day of filming before the pandemic break, our director Ian Samuels had me do this phone call pickup scene. How did resuming six months later affect those scenes? You later revisited those lost shooting days. and fight for toilet paper at Whole Foods." When we finished the main shoot, it was right at the end of March, and we had two or so days left to film when we had to shut down. Time went by in the blink of an eye, and now time is repeating itself, and I'm back to where I started. When you're shooting a movie on location, you kind of fall into a bubble. Thanks to the pandemic, do you feel like the life you lived in the movie is happening now? Instead, she chatted with SYFY WIRE about shooting the new Amazon Prime film, witnessing tiny perfect things in real life, and her hopes of reviving her canceled cult Netflix series, The Society. Will she be bringing such sartorial concerns to the character of Cassie Lang in her not-so-tiny next film, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania? Unfortunately, she isn't allowed to talk about that film just yet. ![]() Newton then suggested some surreal possibilities for her character, a teenager named Margaret, but they didn't fly with the filmmakers - no one could get behind Margaret suddenly showing up in a wedding dress, with no explanation - but she was able to customize Margaret's closet with some of her own clothes.
