Everyone Has A Secret

Elizabeth Olsen spoke with Entertainment Weekly about her new film In Secret, which she stars alongside Tom Felton. Highlights from that interview, which also include mentions of future projects, can be found below.

On how she got involved with the film: “It was actually odd: Mickey Liddell, who’s the producer, sent me the script when I was in school and I was taking a class called Realism and Naturalism in Theater. I read the script, took the class, and our first assignment is to read the book and the play and talk about the differences between the two, and how it began this movement in theater. Which is kind of crazy, because it kind of felt like all the stars were aligned. And then I kind of really loved it from an academic point of view.”

On her character Therese: “She’s pretty repressed and she’s not really given an opportunity to make any decisions for herself. The moment she see an opportunity to listen to her own desires and wants and needs, she takes it, and just one thing leads to another. It was really interesting, trying to figure out a balance of how secretive she is and how wild she is by keeping a lid on it. It’s an interesting character to try and navigate in that way.”

On whether she is nervous about being one of the few girls on set for Avengers: Age of Ultron: “No, I think that’s so fun. Oldboy was all that too. There were like three women: me, a dresser, and a makeup lady. And the rest was just like a bunch of guys, and as long as you join in on the mean jokes — because all the guys just bust each others’ balls all the time — you’re good to go.”
