Question: Is there one scene that you are looking forward to seeing on the big screen? Is there something that you are really excited about?
Richelle: I am definitely excited for the whole ending sequence, because the climax where we come to a head with Rose and Dimitri’s romance and then we also have the reveal of the evil that’s been running through the books. There is just some stellar action sequences that then follow. So that whole thing I am waiting to see played out. As I was saying when I talked about the script, they got all those key parts in there. So once that part is in the movie you are just gonna be riveted watching the way it will all unfold. I know those scenes in particular are ones that Mark has put a lot of thought into and I think it’s just going to blow people away when it unfolds on the screen. I’m just excited to see any – well I am just excited to see all of it – any scenes with characters and their energy. The actors all have that with each other. They are a really good group and really enjoying the project. I can’t wait to see any of that come out.
Question: Have yo gotten to see the set for St. Vladimir’s Academy yet?
Richelle: I have not seen the set yet. I will most likely be going in the near future. Probably next month. No hard and fast details on that yet. I have seen some pictures of it. The site they chose, a lot of deliberation went into it. They picked the U.K. for a lot of different reasons. But one of it was they had a good exterior site that looked like what you would pick out as St. Vladimir’s. I am definitely looking forward to seeing it in person.
Question: The movie has been in limbo for a while before it started happening. It would start happening and then it stopped happening. What was it that made you realize this is actually happening? What was the piece of news that came out that made you realize, okay it’s actually happening?
Richelle: There were a few pieces to it. One was seeing the script. That helps make it real. And I have already sort of commented on how amazed I was. How spot on it was. So THAT was one thing. But I think the casting announcements that followed shortly after really just knocked it into the next level. It happens all the time in Hollywood. People get all excited and they are talking about yes, yes, we are gonna make this project, it’s gonna happen and then it just fizzles out. People can talk all they want but when you reach that point where you are actually getting actors signed on and committed, that is a huge step. Of course, it can still fall apart at any point, unfortunately, but that just definitely takes it out a lot, so when we got those first three faces, and the announcement came out together that they had cast Zoey Deutch, Danila Kozlovsky and Lucy Fry, as the three leads, that was big, big. Those are the three lead characters, and we had faces for them. Not only that, but we had the actors that were talking about how excited they were. For me and the fans, that is what actually said, oh my God this might actually be a movie.
