British actress Ella-Rae Smith plays JESS in Lionsgate’s INTO THE DEEP. Ella-Rae talked with our Gadi Elkon about working with Matthew Daddario and Jessica Alexander, the boat location, getting to be in another physical role and much more.
In this intense action-thriller, Jess (Ella-Rae Smith) is swept off her feet by a mysterious stranger named Ben (Matthew Daddario), who takes her to his boat that’s docked nearby. Dangerously adrift miles from shore, their romance is interrupted when Lexie (Jessica Alexander) shows up, and soon the three get wasted and play sexy games. When the party takes a sudden turn for the worse, it’s clear that either Ben or Lexie is a dangerous liar. In the explosive climax, Jess must decide which one to help…and which one to destroy.
Ella-Rae and Gadi talked about the isolation of the location, working with Matt and Jessica, working with women writers and directors and much more!
