Millie Bobby Brown spoke about Damsel and her work as Elodie
Millie Bobby Brown talked about her character Elodie, the direction the story takes, and much more with Geeks of Color, the site dedicated to entertainment and the seventh art. During the conversation, the ST actress began by saying:
“I think the fact that you’re reading it, and I was like, ‘I’m reading a fairy tale – she’s getting married, and she’s finding a prince, and it’s such a good story. And I love this.’ And oh, wait, there’s still another, you know, 100 pages.
And you’re just like, ‘Oh, what else is meant to happen?’ And I think that’s probably like the first 20 pages of it being like, oh, this sounds like the ending of the movie. And it’s actually just beginning”.
As the interview with Britany Murphy progressed, the 20-year-old young star confessed that she put a lot of herself into filming certain scenes of the fantasy and dragon drama. She revealed that it was challenging for her and said:
“Really difficult. Um, you know, I had a lot of physical therapy. And I had to basically learn how to navigate, my body with the set and with the dragon and, and with the costume. I mean, like, I’ve just never had to do stunts quite like I did in this movie. And things like a corset and, you know, a skirt cage.
I’ve never worked with anything more horrific in my whole life. [laughs] You know, it just has a mind of its own. If you move that way, it somehow moves that way. I don’t know how it does. But it does. And you’re running with it. And it’s really difficult. So I was really challenged in this movie, for sure”.
