♪ ♪ >> ALLISON, DON'T GO. >> THIS IS A MISTAKE. >> NO, IT ISN'T. TRUST ME. I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO GET HERE. IT IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE, AND YOU DID IT. DON'T RUN AWAY NOW BECAUSE OF ME. >> THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF MEETINGS. I WILL FIND ANOTHER ONE. >> BUT THIS ONE HAS THE BEST NEXT FEW >> THAT WAS A CLIP FROM THE UPCOMING FILM, "A GOOD PERSON" STARRING MORGAN FREEMAN, MOLLY SHANNON, AND FLORENCE PUGH. >> SHE DEALS WITH GRIEF, ADDICTION, AND FINDING THE STRENGTH TO RECOVER AFTER TRAGEDY. THE WOMAN HERSELF, FLORENCE PUGH GETS. >> SHE'S HERE APPEARED >> YOU HAVE PLAYED CHARACTERS EVERYWHERE, FROM THE MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE TO WHATEVER PLANET "DUNE" IS. THIS IS THE FIRST ONE THAT YOU HAVE PRODUCED AND ACTED IN. WHAT IS IT LIKE DOING BOTH OF THOSE THINGS AT THE SAME TIME? >> AMAZING. I LIKE TO INVOLVE MYSELF ANYWAY AS MUCH AS I CAN IN ANY MOVIE. YOU JUST GET TO CREATE THE MOVIE THAT YOU WANT TO, AND YOU END UP BEING SO PROUD WHEN IT IS FINISHED. HOW DID WE DO THIS? FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE. >> DO YOU THINK YOU WILL DO IT AGAIN? >> I AM DOING IT AGAIN, DIPPING MY TOE INTO THE PRODUCING WORLD. A LOT TO LEARN HE HAD BESIDES PRODUCING AND ACTING, YOU DID A ORIGINAL SONG FOR THIS. YOU UPLOADED VIDEOS AND MUSIC TO YOUTUBE. >> I WAS A BABY APPEARED >> CAN WE EXPECT TO HEAR MORE? >> I THINK I MAY AS WELL USE MY ACTUAL NAME NOW, BUT YES. I AM GENTLY COMING BACK INTO IT, AND I AM SO PROUD AND HAPPY THAT I WAS ABLE TO PUT MY OTHER FORM OF ART INTO THIS MOVIE. IT WAS AN AMAZING WAY OF FIGURING OUT THE CHARACTER, AND I WROTE FOR MY CHARACTER TO SING AND PERFORM, SO WHEN THE MOVIE COMES OUT, I WILL BE RELEASING THE OTHER VERSIONS. >> SO BUSY, OBVIOUSLY. I READ THAT WHEN YOU READ SCRIPTS BECAUSE YOU CLEARLY GET SCRIPTS THAT YOU ARE ASKED TO READ ALL THE TIME AND LOOK THROUGH, THERE'S ALWAYS A MOMENT IN THE SCRIPT IF YOU ACCEPT THE ROLE, THAT SCARES YOU. IS THAT YOU'RE A LITMUS TEST? >> IF I FEEL SCARED AND I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GOING TO DO SOMETHING, I'M LIKE I'M GOING TO PUT MYSELF IN THAT SITUATION, SO WITH THIS MOVIE, A LOT OF IT IS I THINK BECAUSE OF THE SUBJECT MATTER. IT IS ABOUT THE OPIOID CRISIS. YOU HAVE TO MAKE A MOVIE THAT IS ALMOST -- WE HAVE TO DO OUR RESEARCH. TAKE THE SUBJECT MATTER REALLY SERIOUSLY. THAT IS OBVIOUSLY VERY SCARY BECAUSE IT MEANS A LOT TO SO MANY PEOPLE, BUT THE ROLE THAT ZACH WROTE IS VERY OPEN AND HONEST, THAT THE WHOLE THING WAS A LOT TO TAKE ON, AND I WAS EXCITED. >> I THINK IT IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD SCARE A LOT OF PEOPLE. IN THE MOVIE, YOU ACTUALLY CUT YOUR HAIR. WERE YOU TERRIFIED? >> I WAS SO EXCITED. ZACH WAS MORE SCARED. HE EVEN TRIED TO GIVE ME ANOTHER OUT. ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS? FOR ME IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT. WE MADE HER A YEAR LATER AFTER THIS TRAGIC ACCIDENT. AND TO ME, IT MADE SO MUCH SENSE THAT SHE IS A DIFFERENT PERSON, A DIFFERENT WOMAN. IT IS SO DEFINING THAT YOU JUST NOW SEE THIS ONCE UPON A TIME HOPEFUL CHARACTER IS KIND OF JUST HACKING AT HER OWN LIFE AND ALSO IN A MORE PERSONAL WAY FOR AN ACTOR. VANITY IS OUT THE WINDOW. AS AN AUDIENCE MEMBER WATCHING IT, YOU ARE NOT LOOKING AT HOW SHE HAS DONE HER HAIR THAT DAY. IT'S GONE. SHE IS GOT THESE CHUNKS. YOU CAN REALLY SEE THE VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF HOW LOW THIS PERSON IS. >> WELL, GOOD LUCK TO YOU. YOU ARE DOING IT. >> AND OUR THANKS TO FLORENCE PUGH GOOD. YOU CAN CATCH "A GOOD PERSON" AND THEATERS MARCH 24TH.
