“I haven’t really done hand-to-hand combat or intense action in so long,” she said. “I really wanted it to be a more intimate combat experience if I needed to take someone out. I loved La Femme Nikita by Luc Besson. I also loved Ripley. [in Alien]and I love Sarah Connor in Terminator.”
She also channeled some of her own family tragedy into her performance, saying, “My grandfather passed away during the development of this film. I drew on a lot of that personal experience when I was making the film simply because it literally just happened, and I was able to use a lot of photos of my family in the bar scenes.”
Trigger Warning will be released on Netflix on June 21.
