Emmy: I remember thinking it was the only thing that mattered.When you were around 16 do you remember feeling that love was complicated or free and easy? Kidzworld: The book and film are about young love. I read it with that kind of escapist mentality when I enjoyed the books. I think girls/teens (would say) “I went through this”, when you don’t know who you are and don’t feel powerful and you feel helpless in the world and school and everything you’re going through, you see this girl who has all the power in the world and that’s really amazing. It’s very romantic and she is the tortured one with all the power.
She’s everything that he’s been dreaming of and wanting. The chicks have more power than the men in this movie and it’s told from a boy’s perspective. Emmy: I think especially female readers (like) the fact that the female protagonist is a young woman and that the girls have all the power.Kidzworld: What do you think it is about the book that struck such a chord with readers? So, at the end of every take there would be like a ten minute reset where they were taking the red lipstick off the top of his nose because I literally felt like we were eating each other’s faces. It’s almost impossible to create a red lipstick that won’t come off on someone else’s face, especially when you’re kissing them “aggressively” (laughs). Emmy: That was just a weird scene to shoot because Richard kept telling us to kiss each other more aggressively and I was wearing this red lipstick.Kidzworld: Thomas seemed to be really going for it in the alleyway for your kissing scene. Ridley (Emmy) with Ethan (Alden Ehrenreich) I don’t think I was that cool or smart when I was a 17 or 18-year-old actor. They’re in the Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo world. Then name another actor who was in it and a movie they were in. Alden is so well-read that he and Richard would play this trivia game that they made up based on naming old movie stars and naming a movie they were in. He’ll seem a little dorky but he’s not at all. Alden is a total bookworm and Thomas is just too cool for school.
Kidzworld: Talk about working with Alden (who plays Ethan) and Thomas (Link). Besides the fact that you have a coming of age story, there have always been supernatural stories and love stories since Adam and Eve. We’re both based on Young Adult novels and we are love stories but I kind of think that’s where the similarities end.
I think the comparisons (to “ Twilight”) are going to happen.
Lincoln) who is so ludicrous at times in her bravado and enjoying of her own power, there’s a lot of comedy to be found. I think our film has so much humor and with the addition of our secondary characters who aren’t going through the same emotional struggles as our leads, from the Link character and the bitchy southern girl characters and even the Emma Thompson character (Mrs. Kidzworld: Are you ready for the “Twilight” comparisons?
