00:00The trailer for this film is super intense. How intense was this shoot for you?

00:04Yeah, just as intense, I think, as the trailer, really.

00:09I mean, it was a great time, but yeah, my palms were sweating most of the time, for sure.

00:15I know you filmed the movie in chronological order. How did that affect your process as an actor?

00:20You know, I think that was the best thing. I think when you join onto a project,

00:25you hope that they kind of do it like that, because the story seems like it always,

00:29you can embody yourself in the story a little bit more.

00:32But yeah, I think that was great, especially when people start disappearing.

00:37Yeah, it gets a little bit sad, and yeah, I think that helped, so yeah.

00:43How would you say this movie compares to the other alien films we've seen before?

00:48Well, you know, it fits in between the first two, and I think it has a lot of the

00:53traits that the first one have and the second one, so I think it fits in there perfectly.

00:58I think Fede's done an amazing job in making this movie,

01:01and I'm just excited for everyone to see it, so yeah.

01:04What would you say was the highlight of working with Fede on this film?

01:08Ah, just how he'd try to make us really scared, which was nice,

01:16and he tried to make everything very real. I remember at the very start, he was like,

01:20you know, I want everything to feel very real, and yeah, so I guess that,

01:25being able to go in there and play about and try and make something that you think is great

01:29as well as he think is great, so I'd say that, yeah.

01:33This film has a young cast. How did you guys bond off-set when you weren't filming?

01:37Well, we were filming over in Budapest, and I think, you know,

01:40Archie had been there before, he filmed Shadow and Bone over there,

01:44so we kind of all grabbed onto his arm, and he took us around the best spots and stuff,

01:48and then, you know, when you get to know the city.

01:50So I guess, you know, we were out all the time, and we spent a lot of time together,

01:53and I love all of these guys, so yeah.

01:56And finally, I know there are some stunts in the film.

01:58What sort of training did you have to do before you started shooting?

02:02Yeah, we had some stunt training, and like, you know, some like, there was training in there.

02:08I don't want to ruin anything, but yeah, there was some training in there,

02:11and I think, yeah, I wanted to kind of just go in there and do all my own stunts.

02:15I wanted them to be as real as possible as well, so I didn't really want the training,

02:19but I had to take it, you know, for the rules and that, but yeah.
