real?

Now go away and come back and we’ll do the scene. Jason and I would come in in the morning and he would have his hands in his pocket and he’d just kind of look down and we’d kind of look at each other and say “Hmm hmm,” because we didn’t know what was about to happen. And I told (Ellis) to please tell Jason I want to be surprised. I want to be surprised, only because it would make it more real. This is just a movie, thank God, but kidnapping is a very real thing and I just try to make it as real as possible, and when acting as real as I think someone would, I’m just an actress in a movie, but you know, in doing that I wanted to get as close to the truth as I could, and asking David to ask Jason if he would just surprise me because, one of the most wonderful opportunities for me, and I’ve never had this before, was I knew I could bring you guys upstairs with me.

I was thrown in the attic; I wanted you guys to be thrown in the attic as an audience, and also because I don’t know why I’m in there and you don’t know why I’m in there. You don’t know what they’re going to do to me, and I don’t either. So I wanted everybody to get the feel, the audience to get the same identical feeling that I’m feeling, and that’s why I didn’t want to know.
