Looks Like We Made It

Shailene Woodley and her costar from The Spectacular Now, Miles Teller, sat down with The Daily News to discuss their new film. Highlights from the interview are below.

Shailene on how their new film doesn’t focus on stereotypes: “It’s not a movie that focuses on stereotypes. It’s so realistic. I knew someone like Sutter in my high school. I dated a Sutter in high school. Every day, I told the producers and director that casting Miles was the most genius thing that they could have done.”

Shailene on relating to her character Aimee: “I was similar to Aimee in a way. I did sort of lose myself for a little while in high school by being in a relationship with somebody. But she’s very introverted and she keeps her thoughts to herself, and I’m definitely not and (I’m) loud. In high school, I was extremely social. I threw pep rallies and I was in drama and I was on the board of choir.”

Miles on his future projects: “I made about five films last year, about three weeks off between each one. ‘Are We Officially Dating’ should come out in January, and I did a thing called ‘Two Night Stand.’ They’re both romantic comedies. And then there’s this movie called ‘Get a Job’ in which Bryan Cranston plays my dad.”
