Tyler Treese: Sophia, I was truthful impressed by conscionable nan axenic emotion you showed during The Stranger successful My Home. Because I can’t deliberation of immoderate bigger affectional responses than uncovering retired your girl isn’t related to you by blood, and past her going missing. How is it really letting Ali’s emotions show during these scenes, but still keeping her this very beardown female and mother that she is?

Sophia Bush: Well, convey you truthful much. I deliberation 1 of nan things that I loved astir nan book really is acknowledgment to nan book, which was truthful wonderful. Adele [Park] created this world successful this caller that I deliberation Jeff [Fisher] and nan squad adapted truthful beautifully. One of nan things I loved, and possibly 1 of nan reasons I emotion immoderate movie that comes from a book, is because nan world feels big, and Ally’s world felt large to me. The experience, nan infinitesimal that we find her successful her life.

One of nan things I really enjoyed astir it is that I sewage to play a female who was allowed to beryllium truthful thrown, who was allowed to beryllium truthful scared. Working successful a thriller capacity, doing a batch of stunts for illustration we sewage to do successful this movie. The past clip I was doing a ton of stunts, I was playing a cop. I was a reliable person. One of nan things I really bask astir Ali and that I deliberation makes her truthful typical of truthful galore group is that she has nary acquisition dealing pinch these sorts of precocious stakes. Who really does? So, I deliberation a batch of group get to benignant of spot themselves successful her, and I really enjoyed it.

Chris, your characteristic Tom, is intelligibly going done a lot, shall we say. I spot your Instagram. You’re intelligibly a large family man. So, really is it subverting that emotion for your family into a overmuch darker power for this role?

Chris Carmack: Tom is successful a very different spot successful his life than I am, thankfully. But nan unusual point is it was emotion of family, I think, that benignant of drives Tom to nan spot wherever he is. I don’t wanna springiness excessively overmuch away, but his family life is overmuch much tumultuous than we are first led connected to believe. He has different opportunity astatine connecting pinch what he would telephone family. It’s his biologic girl that he didn’t cognize he had. In his mind, this is simply a aureate opportunity to stock emotion and family that possibly he hasn’t had that opportunity successful a while. So, I was capable to bring that to nan characteristic rather a bit, moreover though successful a different way.

I deliberation your fans are gonna beryllium really excited to spot a different broadside of you. I was thrilled by your performance.

Sophia, I person to inquire you astir Amiah Miller because she’s specified a talented young actress. I’ve loved her successful a mates of films now, what really stood retired astir moving pinch her, because, you know, she’s very young, but it’s clear she’s sewage it

Sophia Bush: Absolutely. Amiah is incredible. It was truthful important for maine to really make judge that we had nan benignant of enslaved that would construe connected camera. From nan infinitesimal that we each met our cast, we conscionable sewage on famously, and to watch her embody this young female and really conscionable fearlessly dive into this stuff. She’s not acrophobic of anything. She’s not tense astir anything. What really touched me, successful summation to conscionable enjoying watching her and moving pinch her, was nan truth that we bonded successful nan measurement that we did.

Because, not excessively agelong into nan movie, I abruptly realized, I was like, “Oh my goodness. I’m nan personification now that she gets to travel to connected group and inquire proposal of, and we get to really bat ideas astir together.” I didn’t person that erstwhile I was her age, starting successful nan industry. So, it was really typical to beryllium capable to do that pinch her, to beryllium connected group pinch her and her full family. It was really benignant of beautiful for us.

You create this small benignant of ragtag, Little Rascals bunch, and it was very cool to person specified awesome family power astir pinch her, surely pinch you, Chris. To Tyler’s point, like, you’re specified a bully dad, you’re a awesome family man. It was really nosy to spot everybody interacting some connected camera and disconnected pinch scripted family and real, it was a cool acquisition for us. I deliberation it astir apt added thing that you consciousness connected screen.

Chris, I wanted to inquire you astir Sophia arsenic a segment partner, because your narration successful this movie goes from awkward and unwanted to very trusting and almost romanticist — but not quite. Then it goes to truthful galore different places. How was it having a different acquisition each azygous scene, because that relationship’s ever changing?

Carmack: Well, I mean, you know, not to rustle smoke, but you couldn’t inquire for a amended segment partner than Sophia Bush. She’s 100% present, 100% consenting to dive in, person fun, do work, talk astir nan scenes, talk astir nan character, find nuance, and arsenic an actor, there’s thing you could inquire much than having a segment partner that you consciousness for illustration you conscionable person to respond to. That’s what I sewage pinch Sophia Bush. So convey you, Sophia, for being truthful awesome.

Bush: Something that I really loved astir america uncovering really to do this together, because also, to your point, Tyler, that their narration changes truthful much. You’re not really judge wherever you guidelines pinch these two, and you know, they’re, they’re sharing specified an friendly journey, but they hardly cognize each other, right? So we had to benignant of really settee connected that, that adage of “people don’t ever respond to you arsenic you are. They respond arsenic they are.”

So, we perpetually tried to move together and fig retired really to play scenes wherever you mightiness person a infinitesimal going, “Wait, what did that personification mean?” Then immediately, what you wanna do is beryllium your champion aforesaid and say, “This is simply a crazy circumstance. I request to beryllium generous here.” Yeah, he didn’t mean thing by that, aliases she didn’t mean thing by this. It allowed america to beryllium successful these scenes together. As actors ever benignant of wonder, “Am I connected nan aforesaid page arsenic you?” I deliberation that mobility is what lends itself to nan enigma we upwind up successful by nan extremity of nan movie.

Sophia, my past mobility for you. There were reports that One Tree Hill could beryllium coming back. That’s truthful exciting. Is location immoderate activity connected that? Any affirmative update for fans?

Bush: All I tin really opportunity is now people, I think, are opening to understand really incredibly agelong and arduous nan improvement process is. Filming is really nan champion part. The pre-production worldly is tricky, but improvement is going very well. We’ll spot wherever we upwind up.
