“You’re a dream.”

LILY-ROSE DEPP: Oh my god, cool question.

EMMA CORRIN: Whoa!

DEPP: Emmas just a dream scene partner in so many ways, truly.

Not even just because you’re sitting right next to me.

You know what I mean?

CORRIN: Oh my god, that’s so sweet.

Yeah, exactly the same.

I was about to say, Hold that space.

DEPP: [Laughs] We can hold space, too!

We can do that!

[Laughs]

CORRIN: It’s everywhere.

Cant get rid of it!

DEPP: Its real.

The space is real.

CORRIN: It was really inspiring and really moving.

I felt very honored to be there firsthand and watching it.

DEPP: You said this early, but it was really there in the script.

And I think similarly, Ellen probably represents some wildness that maybe Anna doesn’t have within her.

CORRIN: Great question.

DEPP: Actually, great question.

A gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.

There’s a big climactic scene between Nick [Hoult] and myself that is difficult emotionally and physically.

It’s a big arc of a scene.

It starts in one place and ends in a completely different one.

We shot it for a couple of days.

CORRIN: Oh my god, yeah.

DEPP: It was really hard.

CORRIN: Why was that?

DEPP: I don’t know.

CORRIN: Something in the language, as well?

CORRIN: And there was a time pressure which always makes everyone a bit on edge.

That one was tough.

How are you doing that?

CORRIN: The back arch, for me, because it happens so quickly.

The last major horror release of the year is also the best.

We need it to a 10 or 12.

He’s very specific, and in a scene like that, it’s just a blessing.
