How Allison Janney turned her thighs—and nerves—to steel for her first action thriller
AVC: When you’re playing opposite one actor whose character is not trained like yours, what sort of a cushion does that give you, or in what way does that challenge you to be more prepared on screen?Jurnee was playing someone who didn’t have the same skillset as Lou did, but she was a force of nature of her own. A mother whose child is taken from her is not someone you want to get in front of either, and neither is Lou, as you find out what she’s capable of doing. So they worked well together.
Maggie Cohn wrote a beautiful script and [director] Anna Foerster and I and Jurnee and I tried to work together to fine-tune it—and if anything, we took away more dialog from Lou. I was like, I think less is more with Lou. I don’t think she should say anything here. And I loved cutting away all of the fat and anything that would say too much. I think it was better for this character to not say a lot until she has to—until what happens, happens, and she has to do some talking and explaining.
