At the Los Angeles press day I landed an exclusive video interview with Lily Collins and Sam Claflin. They talked about collaborating with Christian Ditter, if the script changed during production, the parallels between their lives and their characters’ lives, if their acting processes changed over the years, how Collins got to see several cuts of this movie and gave Ditter feedback, future projects and a lot more.
