Why Ana de Armas (Ana_d_Armas) originally passed on the KnivesOut audition
Ana de Armas wants to prove you wrong, and as recent history shows, she’s already doing it. Just five years ago, the Cuban actor performed her lines phonetically in Eli Roth’s, her first American film. In 2017, she delivered a breakout performance in Denis Villeneuve’s, and ironically enough, many considered her holographic character, Joi, to be the heart and soul of the film.
It was fun! It was just my first audition on Skype. I always felt so comfortable with Rian, whether it was talking on the phone or normal Skype without an audition involved. When the time came to audition, it felt good. He was so supportive, and I could tell that he wanted to make it work.on the audition because Marta was described as a “pretty Latina caretaker.” Who convinced you to reconsider?
It was amazing. I just couldn’t believe that she was at the center of the film; I also couldn’t believe that she was the moral heart of the story. It was scary too because I wasn’t really sure of what to expect from all these incredible actors like Christopher Plummer, Daniel Craig or Jamie Lee Curtis. I was terrified; I was really nervous. I was also coming straight from another movie, and I only had a week to prepare with very little rehearsal.
Who knows, but I think it worked out well. I was swimming with sharks, and I had to learn to swim very quickly just to stay alive. Also, the script was pretty tricky. Obviously, it’s misleading the audience all the time and playing with twists. We also had to shoot the same scenes from different perspectives and points of view.
Most of the film takes place at the Thrombley family home, and it sounds like the cast had a great time at this location. Apparently, Chris Evans and Frank Oz even played Beer Pong together. How fun was this set compared to most?
