Shot guerrilla style, director Neil Burger's new film 'Inheritance' required Phoebe Dynevor to actually steal a pair of sunglasses and get away with it. Entertainment has the exclusive first look at the scene.
would never steal from you, but she could if she wanted to. She’d likely get away with it, too. stars Dynevor as Maya, who tries to get reacquainted with her estranged father and ends up neck-deep in an international conspiracy. To save her dad, she must travel across the world to retrieve top-secret intel and then fight to stay ahead of the intelligence networks and criminal organizations that want it for themselves.
“We had all sorts of contingency plans, excuses, and explanations for what we were going to do,” the director explains. Once the location and the loot were chosen, the team went to the same store’s Fifth Avenue location to buy the exact pair of sunglasses so they’d have a receipt in case Dynevor got caught. Luckily, she pulled off the low-key heist without incident. For Dynevor, performing in front of the small camera not only calmed her fears but also gave her something to focus on.
Getting used to the bare-bones shoot took time, but the nerve-racking encounters started on day one. One of her first scenes involved drinking tequila and smoking cigarettes on the streets of New York City. The alcohol wasn’t real, but the impact it had on people around her certainly was. At one point, a mother pulled her two children away from her. “It was an experience I’ve never had before, and this mother pulled them away understandably," she recalls.
It was vital to have Maya serve as a barrier between the actress and the real world during the grueling shoot. The filming style required Dynevor to get ready at her hotel and then be in character throughout the day. “I stayed in character, in the costume, to stay on these long-haul flights we were actually filming on. Stay in the character’s makeup, hair, and costumes the whole time. I really had to shed her when we weren’t filming because I was playing her so long,” she explains.
