• 3:39
  Speaker 1: with the money making conversations the director Gina Prince and
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Bitewood and one of the stars, Kiki Lane, ladies welcome.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you, Gina, I love I have success.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: So I love female characters first of all, and strong
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: mentally and physical characters just just I just love and
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I have to give you an eight plus something. Tell
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: us about the development of the female characters, because this
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: is this movie is really physical and its action driven.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: It was something I so loved about this story, um,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you know, originally created by Greg Rucca. The fact that
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: these two women, Andy Nile are warriors, and it just
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: is there's such a normalcy to that and for me,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: growing up an athlete, that's how I was raised, and
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: that's you know all I knew all the women around
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: me were like that, and I find it really sad
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: that so many women don't get to grow up with
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: that mentality, grow up with the permission to tap into
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: who we are. We do have that warrior in us, um.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: So the more that we can see it up on screen, um,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I think, then you can see it for yourself and
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: start to embody that. So I love Andy and Nil.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I love what they have to say, and they have
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: both have different personalities. So, Kiki, you play the role now,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you know, and uh, it's five ft nine physical, you know,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: so you know you really were physical in this role.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Tell us about you know, being invited for of all,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: screaming that you got the job and you're realizing the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: work you have to put into it physically to keep
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: your job. You know, it was I mean I knew,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I knew somewhat what I was getting, Uh, you know,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: speaking to to Gina, she she made it clear at
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: our director session, you know what she was going to
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: to require of me, and I told her to bring
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: it um and that's what I had to do. So
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: it definitely like there's some things you're not gonna quite
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: understand until you actually in it. I'm like, Oh, we're
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: training and training, doing all like the weapons and flipping
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: people and the guns and being in the gym all
• 5:41

  Speaker 1: gotta check, you gotta check toes all good? Right? But
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I mean I did feel great I mean that's the
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: cool thing about doing a separate training, Like you are
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: training your body, you are learning these skills. And I
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: knew that I was doing what I could do to best,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: you know, to honor this character and to honor this story.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Um yeah, I mean it's very different, and but I
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: mean I do it again. Well, thank you, because you're
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: does a fantastic job, you know. You know. The next
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: it confuses me because the movie like this, this is
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: a big budget movie. Okay, I in my mind, I'm
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: supposed to be in the movie theater and watching this movie.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: You know, thankfully I got a movie theater room. Some
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: a little baller here, But I just know that the
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: whole game has changed how you watch big budget movies now.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: And you would approach to do this movie, what was
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the whole thought process and sky Dance you know that's
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: mission impossible and start tracking? Wow, Yeah, it was about
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: that whole journey. Yeah. When when I first came aboard
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: with sky Dance, we were going to be at a studio.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: This was going to be theatrical. Um. But what's so
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: interesting about the industry. You know, there's a fear of
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: female fronted action joints they're not going to do well.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Where Netflix was actively looking for a female friended action
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: joint and offered us hell a lot more, and you know,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: there was still that thing because I'm so used to
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the theatrical. I love the bigness. I love sitting in
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: a theater, being just enveloped in that collective, collective experience.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: But the other argument was, we make movies for an audience,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and you're going to be dropping in a hundred ninety countries.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: That's like crazy the amount of audience. So the beauty
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: about this film is that we actually get both. We
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: get theatrical and we get UM the global release. So
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: when COVID you know, goes away finally, when all of
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: us get it together and where masks um, it will
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: have some theatrical, so no audience can get both. You know,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: it's really interesting kicking in your character because of you
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the new Warrior, you know, and Andy is the old
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Guard forever, live, forever. It is traumatized. I really would,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I really enjoyed the whole journey be because you know,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: you still believe in God, you know, and your character
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: you still believe. You didn't understand more the immortality part
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: of the game and you have to make a transition.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: In the movie talk about that whole journey and also
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: given us a credible moment where you understood you had
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: to change or except who you are. Um. I mean
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I I kind of just leaned into Like that's again
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: one of the special things about these characters and like, yes,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: they have this incredible ability, but they're still dealing with
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: things that we recognize, you know, on a very human level.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: So for me, I was connecting more to thinking of,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: you know, those moments where life just hits you and
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: just turns your whole life upside down and you have
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: to figure out, you know, how to move forward. Um
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: and kind of leaning into you know, seeing someone who
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: who is struggling with that. UM. So I was able
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: to you know it gave it. I don't know that
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: the ground in this because it was coming from a
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: real place. I think we all can think of some
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: moments where it's just like, really, life, that's what you're
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: gonna do, and then those moments of struggling against it
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and then finally getting to that place of acceptance of like,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: oh okay, so this is this is what my new
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: life is. Wow, Gina, we're about to wrap up here,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: you have you have tough. When I started to Bio,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I saw fight coordinators from John Wick, which I love
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: that series, so I know the hand to hand was
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: going to be real. And then start coordinators from the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: End Game, which I loved the way they moved in
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: and black Panthers and all that. The whole process of
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: bringing that amount of talent together from a start coordinating
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: background and a fight coordinator the background with the town
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: of the cast here wrapping us up and just tell
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: us the final experience of all this. Yeah, I mean,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I'm one of the best and when I got it,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: got it. Yeah. And the dope thing about those guys,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: they're so cool, They're so collaborative. They just bring out
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: the best and everybody And you know what was so great.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: It's just a conversation we had even before we started
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: designing fights about telling the story of each fight, knowing
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: that they had to be character driven and emotional, um,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: so that they meant something. And uh, I just honestly,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: every day I kept thinking, what if I did not
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: have these guys, What if I did not have the best,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: what this film might have been? Um, they are there everything,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: and I'm grateful to them. Wow, gig in any wounds
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: that you're gonna tell us about. Did you walked away
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: from the movie with that? You know that money didn't
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: cover it? Look nothing that scares me away from doing
• 12:32
