KC: HAVE YOU EVER HAD A PREMONITION?
JM: I have actually, to a certain extent. I’ve had a feeling – a very strong feeling – about something that actually occurred a couple days later.
KC: WAS IT ODD TO FILM A MOVIE THAT TAKES PLACE OUT OF ORDER, SINCE MOVIES ARE ALREADY SHOT OUT OF ORDER?
JM: All movies are all shot out of order, so you have that concept of what came before and what came after. This was a little more difficult because the time frames were so skewed. This is all over the place. As much as it was all over the place in the movie, it was at least as much in the script, maybe even more.

KC: TELL US ABOUT “PREMONITION.”
NL: It’s kind of a mind twister for the audience because the film goes from reality to Sandra Bullock’s premonition of her husband being killed in a car accident. The interesting thing as you watch the film is it’s sort f this journey between did this happen in real time or is it the premonition that it’s going to happen some time in the future.
KC: WHAT PART DO YOU PLAY IN THE FILM?
NL: I play Annie, which is Sandra’s best friend in the film. I kind of made a backstory for her because on the page, the character isn’t fully fleshed out. But you do get the sense that these two girls have been friends for a long time, that they went to college together. Annie’s still single. She’s still in search of the husband, the kid and the white picket fence, and Sandy’s character kinda has all that on lock-down. What connects them is that their lives are totally different, but they have that core friendship in common.
