00:00But I'm curious just about your kind of, when you found out that you were going to be killed the
00:04way that you were, how you felt about it, and also just your kind of philosophy when approaching a death
00:08scene.
00:08I had the worst response. I was like, well, thank God I don't have to be in that huge scene
00:11at the end. That's going to take forever.
00:13That was literally my response. Because I kept reading, I'm like, oh, she's still alive. She's still alive. Uh-oh.
00:17Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
00:19Because you never want to be in the big, because that big end scene is always the hardest scene to
00:21film.
00:22It was days. It was days. I was there. I remember.
00:24I know. I was back in L.A.
00:26It was pretty fun, though. Yeah. Well, I mean, is there a part of you that was a little upset
00:30that you didn't get to explode in a big pool of blood?
00:32No. No? Not even a bit. I've been there. I've been covered in that shit. Nope, I'm good.
00:39So how was the messy day for you? By the way, every day was messy anyway, because it was all
00:43over the set.
00:43It didn't matter what day you were filming. I would go to sit down, like, don't sit there, and there
00:47was just blood all over the scene.
00:48It's true. I was very happy to be there on that day, though, because I got to see the giant
00:53canon.
00:54Because I think the biggest explosion of blood in the film is the final moment, and that was the most
00:59amount of blood that they used in one go, and I got to see it.
01:03It's because there was no blood left in the world. It was awesome.
01:06Hollywood's now in a drought. No more horror movies for a minute.
01:08It was very fun.
