2:58
Speaker 1: I try to get them to tell their story. In
3:00
Speaker 1: your Story, I always felt it was a compelling one
3:02
Speaker 1: because of the fact that you you Australia, Hollywood. That's
3:06
Speaker 1: a that's a major move, that's a transition, so you
3:08
Speaker 1: have to follow your dream. You had to believe in
3:10
Speaker 1: your dream. Can you tell us about the whole aspect
3:13
Speaker 1: of wanting to be Did you want to be a
3:16
Speaker 1: movie star? Did you want to be an actress all
3:18
Speaker 1: your life? Rada? I mean as a kid, I had
3:24
Speaker 1: a few fantasies, and one of them certainly was to
3:26
Speaker 1: be a Hollywood actress. You know. I think that's every
3:29
Speaker 1: little girl's kind of um idea at some point in
3:32
Speaker 1: their life, um, and then pursuing it. I think by
3:36
Speaker 1: the time I finished high school, I kind of knew
3:40
Speaker 1: that I wanted to be an actress, but I kind
3:41
Speaker 1: of wanted to just travel the world and I wanted
3:45
Speaker 1: to be a photographer for a while, um national geographic photographers.
3:49
Speaker 1: I really wanted to keep an open mind. You still
3:52
Speaker 1: have that steal these stills talent that the desire to
3:55
Speaker 1: but do you still have to scale with the camera
3:57
Speaker 1: they want to take those take photos? Yea. I was
4:00
Speaker 1: starting photography in school and I was like doing really well.
4:03
Speaker 1: But then I didn't get into this course that I
4:05
Speaker 1: wanted to get into, and so I was a bit
4:07
Speaker 1: put off by that. But I am went to Indonesia
4:10
Speaker 1: for months and read this book An Actor Prepares Stanislavski
4:14
Speaker 1: and that sort of it was kind of a serious
4:17
Speaker 1: book about you know, serious acting that it got me motivated.
4:20
Speaker 1: And when I was a little kid, i'd done a
4:23
Speaker 1: TV show, so I had an agent from this time
4:27
Speaker 1: when I was twelve doing this TV show for six months.
4:31
Speaker 1: So I went back to this agent and I said, Hi,
4:33
Speaker 1: you know, I finished school now and can you get
4:37
Speaker 1: me a job? It? Hey, can you give me a job?
4:42
Speaker 1: We're back to an agent for Joe that you did
4:44
Speaker 1: one time, only right, Well, it was a six months
4:48
Speaker 1: show and it was like we were kids. But I
4:50
Speaker 1: was not really into it. When I was a kid,
4:52
Speaker 1: I was a bit shy, so I wanted to just
4:54
Speaker 1: finish school, so I did. Then I wanted to like
4:58
Speaker 1: travel the world and you know, take year and just
5:00
Speaker 1: see everything. And my mom was not into it and
5:03
Speaker 1: she wanted me to go to university. So I ended
5:07
Speaker 1: up starting studying media and literature at this university in
5:12
Speaker 1: Melbourne and sort of, uh doing the odd acting job
5:17
Speaker 1: that I was getting through this agent. So you know,
5:20
Speaker 1: I got really weird because my mom decided to go
5:22
Speaker 1: to university the same university as mecom right, mom, at
5:29
Speaker 1: the same school you went, right, mom, at the same school.
5:32
Speaker 1: That was really narrating anyway. So I started doing the
5:35
Speaker 1: night classes and sometimes I'll be acting during the day
5:38
Speaker 1: on this a couple of TV series and stuff at
5:41
Speaker 1: around the time and finishing the degree is arts degree.
5:44
Speaker 1: A film that a friend of mine. Um, it's very
5:48
Speaker 1: little like film and somebody's father put money into it.
5:54
Speaker 1: That it was coming out of this film school in
5:56
Speaker 1: Melbourne and it had like a young director who was
5:59
Speaker 1: just finishing up her her film school degree. And we're
6:02
Speaker 1: all a bunch of us were living in a sharehouse
6:05
Speaker 1: and we ended up making this film and the film
6:09
Speaker 1: ended up getting sold to Fox Searchlight. So a few
6:14
Speaker 1: of us who were in the film were like invited
6:16
Speaker 1: to go to the can Film Festival. So you know
6:20
Speaker 1: when we've never been to I've never been to any
6:22
Speaker 1: film festival, not even the one of the top Dollars.
6:25
Speaker 1: I've been the can that's really nice. Everywhere beautiful you
6:31
Speaker 1: look at fabulous, I'm sure fabulous. Well, we had a
6:35
Speaker 1: great time. There's three girls and we're all like sort
6:37
Speaker 1: of starring in this movie, and um and the director
6:40
Speaker 1: and the producer and so I think It was Anthony Lapolio,
6:44
Speaker 1: this Australian actor who introduced me to my manager or
6:49
Speaker 1: to a manager who I think he was actually leaving.
6:56
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right, that's how you do it now. Okay,
6:58
Speaker 1: look I'm about to go. But I got somebody as
7:01
Speaker 1: for me. It was great. So I met this manager
7:04
Speaker 1: in kan and I think we were there. We were
7:08
Speaker 1: there for like a week, and then I had a
7:10
Speaker 1: ticket around the world ticket, um, so I got to
7:14
Speaker 1: go from there to London and I was invited to
7:17
Speaker 1: audition for something in London which didn't pan out, and
7:20
Speaker 1: then I had the ticket, went to New York and
7:23
Speaker 1: in l A. And then I had a grandmother at
7:25
Speaker 1: the time who was living in l A. Like I've
7:27
Speaker 1: never been to in America. But I had a few
7:29
Speaker 1: phone numbers now from this film festival to like meet
7:32
Speaker 1: people in New York. So you have you have some
7:35
Speaker 1: numbers now, so now you can come at least call somebody,
7:37
Speaker 1: right yeah. Yeah, So I had some phone numbers, um,
7:41
Speaker 1: people that were somewhat related to the film industry, and
7:43
Speaker 1: then just people who were friends with my friends from Melbourne.
7:46
Speaker 1: I stayed at this actually I stayed in this girl's
7:48
Speaker 1: apartment in Harlem for like a week or two in
7:51
Speaker 1: New York. UM, and then I went to l A.
7:57
Speaker 1: UM and that's where I sort of stayed with my mother, UM,
8:01
Speaker 1: who was a bit sort of grumpy butt um said.
8:06
Speaker 1: They got to know each other. We didn't really know
8:07
Speaker 1: each other very well. UM. And and then so that
8:11
Speaker 1: was sort of the trip, and then it was time
8:13
Speaker 1: to go back to Melbourne. The reality of where it
8:18
Speaker 1: comes from. Um. But I had from all of that
8:21
Speaker 1: just this idea. Oh, because I had met Danny Boyle,
8:24
Speaker 1: who was one of my favorite directors in the l
8:27
Speaker 1: A trip, and there was a tasting agent from from
8:31
Speaker 1: here from l A who had sort of contacted the
8:33
Speaker 1: Australian agent. So there was something of an introduction to
8:36
Speaker 1: meet somebody in l A. And that's how I met um,
8:40
Speaker 1: Danny Boyle. So then by the time I got back
8:43
Speaker 1: to Melbourne, I realized, you know, everything was happening over here.
8:47
Speaker 1: If I could just get back right, that's frustrating, right,
8:51
Speaker 1: you know, you know, you know you're back, but it's
8:54
Speaker 1: not back where you need to be. You need to
8:55
Speaker 1: get back to the other back right, which was all
8:58
Speaker 1: a yeah, so that I needed my need. I haven't
9:00
Speaker 1: gonna get there. You know. It was like, you know,
9:02
Speaker 1: I just out of school. So I told this agent, look,
9:06
Speaker 1: I just want to do a soap because I knew
9:08
Speaker 1: that you could. There's this television soap in Melbourne called Neighbors,
9:12
Speaker 1: and it's been known for years or something just never
9:15
Speaker 1: ends and they keep recycling characters. So I, um, I
9:21
Speaker 1: gone on to the show and I had a part
9:24
Speaker 1: for like six months, so that allowed me to, um,
9:29
Speaker 1: come back. And also at that point, this little film
9:32
Speaker 1: that I was telling you about was now going to
9:34
Speaker 1: go to the Sundance Film Festival, so I had to
9:37
Speaker 1: have something to come back to talk about at that time.
9:40
Speaker 1: And so that's sort of how it all began. But
9:43
Speaker 1: you know, the money in your pocket, the Sundance Festival,
9:47
Speaker 1: You're looking good, feeling good. Okay, good, No, Grandma, it
9:54
Speaker 1: was all good of an adventure, you know, um, and
9:56
Speaker 1: most of it just would have planned out of the suitcase.
9:59
Speaker 1: But I didn't really the care whether it worked or didn't.
10:01
Speaker 1: I was sort of you know, it was an adventure
10:03
Speaker 1: in any case. Well, you're the thing about it is
10:05
Speaker 1: that when I hear your story, I just hear just
10:08
Speaker 1: you know, no, you just you just trusted yourself, you
10:11
Speaker 1: wanted to follow your dreams, and a lot of people
10:14
Speaker 1: get caught up in one Yeah, okay, let your mom said,
10:16
Speaker 1: I want you to go to school. Okay, you know
10:20
Speaker 1: my degree is a mathematic I like that and I'm
10:22
Speaker 1: glad I did it because, Um, even as an actor,
10:26
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting to have a more sort of
10:29
Speaker 1: have a broad sort of source of knowledge. You know,
10:32
Speaker 1: you can having studied archaeology and or just obscure things
10:35
Speaker 1: that I studied for this degree. Um, just give me
10:38
Speaker 1: a certain perspective that I might not have had if
10:41
Speaker 1: I had it just focused only on acting. Um. So
10:45
Speaker 1: that's good. So let's talk about Let's talk about some
10:47
Speaker 1: things here about your new project here because I want
10:50
Speaker 1: to because I want to talk about a couple of
10:52

12:50
Speaker 1: E R dot ai dream catch or which I'm assuming
12:53
Speaker 1: is another horror movie. Correct, it is okay? Cool? Now?
12:58
Speaker 1: When I saw you in Silent Heal, basicly, you know,
13:01
Speaker 1: you know you you were traveling in this town with
13:03
Speaker 1: your daughter. You're another ghost like daughter apperiod in front
13:08
Speaker 1: of your car. Your car went into a span and
13:09
Speaker 1: then you stop, you open the door that your daughter's gone,
13:12
Speaker 1: your real daughter's gone, and so you you ventured into
13:15
Speaker 1: this town called solid Here. So the reason I bring
13:18
Speaker 1: it up because it's basically it's basically a movie that's uh,
13:22
Speaker 1: it's carried on your single emotion and your interaction. And
13:27
Speaker 1: that's what made me scary to me because you your
13:31
Speaker 1: quest was to find your daughter, but you were in
13:34
Speaker 1: an environment that you couldn't control. How do you get
13:40
Speaker 1: there emotionally for a role like that, When you're talking
13:42
Speaker 1: about horror, you're talking about characters that don't exist. How
13:45
Speaker 1: do you get there? Right? How do we do that?
13:51
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, a lot of times we were acting
13:53
Speaker 1: with Cannith Ball there were some amazing um prop, Like
14:01
Speaker 1: there was some amazing monsters were on set and people. Yeah,
14:05
Speaker 1: there was like I don't know if you remember the
14:07
Speaker 1: child monster in the attack sing on the fences, there
14:10
Speaker 1: was a wan who was very small and she was
14:13
Speaker 1: wearing that suit so she had a little hole in
14:16
Speaker 1: the suit to breathe through. So then they multiplied that
14:19
Speaker 1: in special effects. But there was really one of those
14:21
Speaker 1: great children for real, and she this patient woman who
14:26
Speaker 1: sat in that suit all day long for that part
14:28
Speaker 1: of the shoot. So some of it you had to imagine.
14:31
Speaker 1: In other parts of the nightmare were you know, very
14:34
Speaker 1: much visually present um. So it was kind of a
14:38
Speaker 1: mix um. But how to how to get into that
14:40
Speaker 1: frame of mind? I don't know. I think we've all
14:45
Speaker 1: had nightmares. Well, I think that did. You did a
14:47
Speaker 1: good job that you're scared me. You're scared of grown
14:50
Speaker 1: man here? Okay, because I felt sorry for I thought
14:52
Speaker 1: they're gonna snatch you up there, right? You know, you
14:54
Speaker 1: know what they did do there was a technique like
14:58
Speaker 1: for that active surprise and a really hard to fake that.
15:01
Speaker 1: You know. Still we like make loud noises and we
15:04
Speaker 1: get someone on set to like, I don't think they
15:06
Speaker 1: were firing guns, but they were like snacking things together
15:09
Speaker 1: so that we get a real shock. I mean, that's
15:11
Speaker 1: the something you do to create a journal and quickly.
15:13
Speaker 1: But it's really hard to act surprised shocked without having
15:19
Speaker 1: something to trigger it. Okay, now this this new movie,
15:23
Speaker 1: Dream Catcher. You know your your character is forced to
15:26
Speaker 1: come return with your new steps on at a remote
15:28
Speaker 1: country home. Right, there's the dot. Do you know the
15:32
Speaker 1: scary part Remote? Everything you do in scary movies rather
15:36
Speaker 1: is remote. You know when you did when you did
15:39
Speaker 1: Pitch Black, remote, You're just a remote acting person. When
15:43
Speaker 1: you did you know, Land on Fire, you were in Mexico,
15:46
Speaker 1: which was a remote You were captured in a mansion,
15:48
Speaker 1: So you just a remote When I saw you, when
15:52
Speaker 1: I yeah, when I saw you do the Romans, when
15:54
Speaker 1: I saw the episode of Ramoofs that you and you
15:57
Speaker 1: know that when you was what I think your son
15:59
Speaker 1: was was sickly and why right right? That was your
16:04
Speaker 1: character there was isolated. You play those isolated roles very well,
16:09
Speaker 1: rot farewell. Interesting. Yeah, I've never really thought about that. Yeah,
16:17
Speaker 1: that's this is my question to you. This is my
16:20
Speaker 1: question because the movie Dream Catching with just out right now.
16:24
Speaker 1: You can catch it from Lion's Gate Home Entertainment, you
16:26
Speaker 1: can catch it on video on demand. When I look
16:28
Speaker 1: at the talent like you, and because you make it real,
16:31
Speaker 1: I will tell you when Man on Fire, when you
16:34
Speaker 1: realize that Mark Anthony, who played your husband in the movie,
16:37
Speaker 1: was the reason your daughter, he was behind the kidnapping,
16:41
Speaker 1: That moment, for me is one of my favorite moments
16:43
Speaker 1: in the movie because you win. It was that oh
16:46
Speaker 1: my god moment. You know, that was an oh my
16:48
Speaker 1: god moment. You didn't kill if he lived or diet
16:51
Speaker 1: at that point, you know you have been suffering the
16:53
Speaker 1: whole time for your daughter, you know, got lost in
16:56
Speaker 1: the box or Ransom and this fool over here had
17:02
Speaker 1: peddle off your daughter. Well faith Ransom demand that moment
17:07
Speaker 1: right there, I became a fan okay, and then in
17:10
Speaker 1: Pitch Black. With a pitch Black, I always want you
17:13
Speaker 1: to know, here's a script where when you get the script,
17:15
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna die in that script. Correct, yeah, okay?
17:22
Speaker 1: How do you react? Will you know what? You get
17:25
Speaker 1: the script in your hand and debates about this, who's
17:29
Speaker 1: gonna die? Are they gonna die? You want to die?
17:33
Speaker 1: You know you're not gonna make the sequel if it's
17:35
Speaker 1: a blockbuster, you can't. In that movie, I was excited
17:41
Speaker 1: to die. I thought it was cool in retrospect that
17:45
Speaker 1: she just loved to live. But at the time I
17:50
Speaker 1: thought it was cool. I didn't know they were going
17:51
Speaker 1: to make more and more and more because it was
17:56
Speaker 1: so funny. It was so funny. It was just so
17:58
Speaker 1: funny because I was when I out to you know,
18:00
Speaker 1: when when you got confirmed from my show. I went
18:03
Speaker 1: home and I was just going through and then what
18:05
Speaker 1: happened Pitch Black was on. That's why I got to
18:08
Speaker 1: see you first. My remember the first of my member
18:10
Speaker 1: and so and and then God forgotten that you died
18:13
Speaker 1: in the end of that movie and the way you
18:16
Speaker 1: die because because if that movie you you know, you're
18:18
Speaker 1: you're grabbed inn diesel. Get up, Soldier, get up. You're
18:21
Speaker 1: gonna make it. You're not gonna die. You're not gonna die.
18:24
Speaker 1: You know, you know, you're you're, you're, you're tough en up.
18:27
Speaker 1: In the end, you have their fearless leader, and all
18:30
Speaker 1: of a sudden you got snatched up. I went, oh
18:32
Speaker 1: my god, I forgot she died and so and I
18:36
Speaker 1: wanted to ask that question. When you get a script
18:38
Speaker 1: and you know you're gonna die, do you lobby to
18:40
Speaker 1: stick around or you just play out the role? Well,
18:44
Speaker 1: it depends on the project. I don't want to go back. Yeah,
18:58
Speaker 1: if you think that has you know, from in retrospect,
19:01
Speaker 1: if you think the thing is legs, you don't want
19:03
Speaker 1: to die. But yeah, if you know, you know, sometimes
19:09
Speaker 1: it's such a dramatic it's such as from an acting
19:12
Speaker 1: um perspective, it's great, like it's this amazing kind of
19:16
Speaker 1: rehearsal for the inevitable that you know, most of us are,
19:20
Speaker 1: you know, unable to even to talk about. So to
19:22
Speaker 1: like practice your own death is like an amazing experience.
19:26
Speaker 1: I know, it really is. And I think that's that.
19:29
Speaker 1: Here's my whole thing is that and and and in
19:31
Speaker 1: this interview, I just want to get across to you
19:33
Speaker 1: that you obviously you know, you're very talented because you're
19:36
Speaker 1: you're acting resume says that people book you and you
19:39
Speaker 1: you deliver, uh, you know, deliver from the romantic side
19:43
Speaker 1: to the to the to the grieving mom, to the scary,
19:48
Speaker 1: scary mom, to the you know, to the passionate and
19:51
Speaker 1: empowered mom to just a young lady who wants to
19:55
Speaker 1: make a difference in the world today. That's that's the
19:57
Speaker 1: characters you play throughout your career. But what has always
20:01
Speaker 1: been dynamic for me watching you is that you can
20:04
Speaker 1: you know, how to take that isolated moment and make
20:07
Speaker 1: it relatable and whether it's fear, whether it's uh, you know,
20:13
Speaker 1: the unknown, or just the decision making process you know,
20:17
Speaker 1: whether you're you know, Olympus has fallen and all that.
20:21
Speaker 1: There's just so many different projects. So when you when
20:24
Speaker 1: what's what's your what? What what's when you go into
20:26
Speaker 1: a movie when the script is giving to you, is
20:28
Speaker 1: there are there are in particular goals you're trying to achieve,
20:31
Speaker 1: either that role or it's just hey, thank you for
20:33
Speaker 1: the opportunity to act in this movie and do the
20:35
Speaker 1: best job that you can do well. I mean generally,
20:43
Speaker 1: there's that. Yeah, I just want to show up. You know,
20:48
Speaker 1: the circumstances, don't you know, an't perfect? Like I recently
20:52
Speaker 1: did a job right, Yes, ma'am read the script. I
20:55
Speaker 1: was on one side of the world reading a script
20:57
Speaker 1: on the plane, landing on set and starting the warman,
21:00
Speaker 1: you know, with no preparation time and totally jet lagged.
21:04
Speaker 1: And that's not ideal. But in those situations you just
21:08
Speaker 1: have to bring it the best you can what you've got.
21:10
Speaker 1: To accept the secumstances and not use them as an excuse,
21:13
Speaker 1: but just bring it the best you can and trust
21:15
Speaker 1: that what everything inside of you is going to inform
21:17
Speaker 1: the performance, especially after having acted for so long that
21:22
Speaker 1: you just want to Yeah, you want to bring the
21:24
Speaker 1: best to the story, just whatever you have in you
21:28
Speaker 1: and then also have it it's so collaborative that, you know,
21:32
Speaker 1: have a vibe where everybody is bringing the best together,
21:35
Speaker 1: that there's an energy and excitement behind it. Well, you
21:38
Speaker 1: have disappointed me. You have disappointed me. Tell us about
21:40
Speaker 1: dream Catching. Tell us about that. Well, dream Catch you
21:45
Speaker 1: with a movie that a friend of mine, Well, it
21:47
Speaker 1: sort of amount of super close friend at the time
21:49
Speaker 1: Carrie Harris UM showed to me a while ago and
21:54
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, interesting and then um, I said,
21:58
Speaker 1: let me know when you get financed. And then UM,
22:01
Speaker 1: it sort of occurred to me as this sort of
22:03
Speaker 1: the cooking win. It would be really really great to
22:08
Speaker 1: do a horror movie again and to have some sort
22:11
Speaker 1: of ownership on it. And I was looking for a
22:13
Speaker 1: project like that case. And then he came back to
22:16
Speaker 1: me and said, hey, we've got the we got some
22:18
Speaker 1: money for this and um, and we've also got Lynn
22:21
Speaker 1: Shay who's this amazing actress and it's sort of really
22:25
Speaker 1: well respected in the genre. UM. So I was like,
22:28
Speaker 1: oh great, yeah, I could read it again. UM. And
22:31
Speaker 1: it's so it's something that we all have a small
22:33
Speaker 1: percentage of ownership in as filmmakers, um, which was kind
22:38
Speaker 1: of a cool thing. And then um, Henry Thomas joined
22:42
Speaker 1: Who's who's the grown up now? But he was the
22:44
Speaker 1: boy in et really cool actor. And then we found
22:49
Speaker 1: this amazing kid. So we had this sort of small
22:52
Speaker 1: cast of characters and a location carry it sort of
22:56
Speaker 1: found all these interesting places upstate New York and a
22:59
Speaker 1: friend of his is where we shot some of the
23:01
Speaker 1: Haunted house where Lynn was staying on the haunted bit
23:04
Speaker 1: her workshop and then this amazing house that we shot
23:08
Speaker 1: the film in. So it was all lined up and
23:11
Speaker 1: it was all very simple, and and that's how it began.
23:15
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that there was going to be no
23:17
Speaker 1: cell phone reception upon arriving Upstanding. We were. We were
23:22
Speaker 1: isolated in reality as the characters were in the We
23:26
Speaker 1: had no cellphone reception. We were kind of three hours
23:29
Speaker 1: from New York, but it felt it felt like forever
23:32
Speaker 1: away from New York because of this no cell phone reception.
23:35
Speaker 1: Um and you know, we're in this remote but beautiful
23:39
Speaker 1: part of the state. And to be honest, the real
23:43
Speaker 1: horror was the ticks. I don't know, if you know
23:46
Speaker 1: anything about ticks in life, there's ticks. You know. The
23:50
Speaker 1: director got bitten by a tick. That was like the
23:53
Speaker 1: scariest day on set UM. So that was horror, like
23:57
Speaker 1: walking in the grass, not knowing if we're going to
23:59
Speaker 1: get like written by a tick. I'm gonna cut your bar.
24:02
Speaker 1: I've been been by tickets. Not fun. It's not fun,
24:05
