I had a fabulous time talking to the lovely ladies of “The Bubble.” The plot has a group of actors traveling to a closed film set (known as the bubble) in England to film “Cliff Beasts 6.” Leslie Mann and Karen Gillan play actresses while Maria Bakalova stars as Anika the front desk clerk at the hotel where the cast and crew are staying.
I spoke with Apatow together with his funny stars, Samson Kayo (he plays the actor handler named Bola) and Harry Trevaldwyn as the health officer named Gunther.
“Encounter” is a weird sci-fi/drama hybrid and I’m all here for it. Director Michael Pearce (“Beast”) started with sci-fi tropes then pull the cliches off and created searing Father-Sons drama with the fantastic Riz Ahmed as the dad to two fantastic child actors, Lucian-River Chauhan, and Aditya Geddada. I spent some time with the actors and Pearce for a behind-the-scenes look at “Encounter.”
