It was British actress Emilia Jones ’ first trip to Texas when she met Reality Winner , the woman she was cast to play in the dark comedy biopicThe film tells the story of Winner, an NSA translator who was sent to federal prison after leaking an intelligence report about Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
“She’s super fit, and she loves sports, so I signed up for both of those classes,” she said. “And then, I instantly regretted it because I’m not as fit as her.” As an actor, you read the material, and you think, “OK, how would this person feel in this situation?” or “Do I have the experience to draw from?” I got to hang out with before we started shooting, so I could talk to her about her experience and get to know her as a person. Humans are complicated.Reality’s coping mechanism is comedy. She’s a very calm person, but there’s a lot going on underneath the surface. So, it was really interesting for me to tap into that. That was a major draw.
Why do you think fewer people know about Reality’s story than someone like Edward Snowden or Julian Assange?
