The Originals - Claire Holt Exits Series

At the end of Episode 16 "Farewell To Storyville" Claire Holt's character, Rebekah was seen leaving New Orleans in her red convertible after bidding emotional farewells to the important people there. This was in fact Claire Holt's last moments as a series regular on the show. According to sources close to production, it was entirely Claire's decision to leave The Originals. The show have left the option for her to return as a guest star periodically in the future if she may so wish.
Let's hope we see Rebekah again in the future! OR maybe she should just return to Mystic Falls and make Matt Donovan happy?

The Originals - Spoiler From E! Online - 18th November 2013

I'm so conflicted about The Originals. I love Rebekah with Marcel, but she's Klaus' sister! Who will she choose to side with?

She doesn't even know at this point, Claire Holt teases of the Original vamp. "Rebekah wants to be loyal to her family, but struggles. She loves Marcel, but struggles with that relationship," she previews. "I really think it's a confusing time for her and she isn't sure what she wants and she's easily swayed by people, which we will see." Also making matters more difficult? Klaus and Marcel will finally have it out very, very soon.

The Originals - Spoiler From TV Line - 24th October 2013

Can you get spoilers for The Originals on Rebekah and Marcel’s relationship?

As you know, Marcel is forbidden from acting on his feelings for Rebekah, as part of a pact he was forced into by a disapproving Klaus. But as you’ll see next week, that hardly keeps the comely Original from regularly getting up in Marcel’s grill and tempting him with “What if…” scenarios. Marcel, alas, will have his hands full with the other gals in his life – namely Davina, who’s about to “act out” in a big way, and Cami, whose true identity he thus far is unaware of. Also in Tuesday’s episode: a massive download of witchy mythology. Seriously, like keep a notepad nearby.

The Originals - Claire Holt Previews Season 1 - Video

Spoiler From TV Guide - 30th July 2013

Any scoop on Matt and Rebekah on The Vampire Diaries or The Originals? I heart them together!

While we won't rule out the opportunity for crossover episodes, Claire Holt seems pretty sure that the two are dunzo for now. "In the last episode, Matt told her, 'I have to keep my life vampire-free,' so she knew going into it that they would have a little fun, travel the world together and now she's ready to move on and take down more men in New Orleans," Holt says.

The Originals - What We Know So Far...

"The Vampire Diaries" is a fan-favorite at San Diego Comic-Con, and now its spinoff "The Originals" made its big premiere with its first-ever panel. Some new video was shown, but the bulk of the panel focused on introducing these familiar and new characters to the audience in attendance beyond what they saw in "The Originals'" backdoor pilot.

In addition to a sizzle reel, an alternate ending featuring a witch locked up in an attic by Marcel was screened that showed a different taste of the direction "The Originals" is taking. Plec promises this character is one of the big mysteries in Season 1 that will be dealt with right off the bat. The pilot was already shown on preview night, but it turns out that the show's actual first episode will be a retelling of what fans saw back in April.

"Elijah goes to New Orleans to figure out what his brother is up to," showrunner Julie Plecteases. "We'll see similar scenes and moments that we didn't get to see in the pilot."

Rebekah won't appear in New Orleans until episode 2 because she has her own story to finish. "She's still hoochin' it up with Matt Donovan," Plec says. Rebekah will also appear in the premiere episode of "The Vampire Diaries," which will see her storyline with Matt come to a close. "Something will bring her to new Orleans in the second episode with an ... agenda," Plec says.

Rebekah isn't the only one leaving someone behind in Mystic Falls. Elijah also had to say farewell to Katherine. "I 100 percent thinks he still has feelings for Katherine, but the level of his devotion to his family comes first," Daniel Gillies says of Elijah's departure.

Then there are Klaroline fans, who aren't super happy about Klaus having a new baby mama. Expect that the Klaus and Caroline relationship will still be dealt with. "It's not like she doesn't exist," Plec says. "If anything she's sort of like the Buffy to his Angel. She made an impact on him." Joseph Morgan adds of the seeming end of that relationship, "It's all I hear about."

Beyond the original vampires in "The Originals," Marcel will also be put front and center.Charles Michael Davis' new character will be explored through flashbacks all through Season 1, with the first few episodes looking into how Marcel and Klaus first met and then watch Marcel "grow from a boy to a man."

Phoebe Tonkin throws a wrench in "The Originals" storyline as her werewolf character Hayley is pregnant with Klaus' child. Plec says that romance might not necessarily follow the one night stand-turned-parenthood, but at least both characters have a bond. For Morgan, something a bit different brought Klaus to Hayley.

"He's had two and a half seasons of celibacy, so he has some pent up energy," Morgan jokes. "I got away with two seasons of having a shirt on 'The Vampire Diaries.' I think that's got to be a record."

When a fan asked whether Klaus and Hayley's baby will be a hybrid or some new creature, Plec hedged and says, "I obviously can't give an answer to that." Still, she gave an answer of swords, saying, "I think that everybody will have their own opinion about what this baby and what it means." She continues, "There will be a million supernatural debates. ... It will be part of the fun of waiting for it to be born."

All Holt wants, though, is for it to be a "husky puppy." We'll be the first to second that.

Spoiler From TV Line - 2nd July 2013

Any Vampire Diaries scoop? Will Tyler be back this season? Thanks!

Tyler who? There’s nothing like a cute older college boy to make you temporarily forget the show’s MIA hybrid hunk. That’s what happens when Caroline meets Jesse, a hot, smart, confident and disarmingly sweet upperclassman at Whitmore. Among the other fresh faces in the season opener: smartypants Megan, who attends Mystic Falls High’s 1950s dance and attempts to charm the pants off Jeremy, and Eastern European beauty Nadia, who crosses paths with Matt and Rebekah at a Prague bar — and comes on to both of them?! — before delivering an ominous warning to Stefan about The Originals.

Spoiler From TV Line - 21st May 2013

What’s in store for Jeremy next season on The Vampire Diaries, now that he’s back among the living?

As EP Julie Plec notes, “Nobody knows the truth” about his resurrection — specifically, that Bonnie essentially sacrificed her life for his. As a result, “There’s going to be some explaining to do and it’s not necessarily going to make his return to his old life very easy.”

Will Claire Holt (Rebekah) appear in any Vampire Diaries episodes next fall? Or is she going straight to The Originals?

“We do have the ability to use Rebekah on either show in the beginning,” says Plec. ” We will see when we start writing how much of her we’ll see before she heads off to New Orleans.” One scenario has the new season of TVD picking up at the tail end of Rebekah and Matt’s European vacation. “When we get back, we might see [them] still on their trip,” shares Plec, adding, “When Matt gets back to Mystic Falls, his whole world will have changed. I can’t wait to see what comes out of that adventure and how he re-adapts to life at Mystic Grill.” 

Spoiler From Zap2It - 15th April 2013

We're getting closer to the highly anticipated "Originals" episode. If the new spin-off gets picked up, Rebekah will be joining her brothers in New Orleans -- but her role in the April 25 episode is minimal. As you may know, Claire Holt was the last of the Originals to sign on for the new series, and the script had already been completed when she inked her deal. But don't worry, Rebekah fans -- if "The Originals" gets picked up (and we're hearing VERY good things from our CW sources), there are big, big plans in place for her time in New Orleans.

Spoiler From Zap2It - 1st April 2013

Klaus, Rebekah, and Elijah will be heading to New Orleans in Episode 20 this season for "The Originals" spin-off episode... but that doesn't mean they're just going to stay in NoLa, killing time and waiting for the fall TV season. We can tell you that Episode 20 isn't the last we'll see of Klaus this season on "The Vampire Diaries." Unfinished business in Mystic Falls, perhaps?

Spoiler From EW - 13th March 2013

Any chance we’re going to see more Stefan and Rebekah? I loved those two!

I’ll let boss Julie Plec take this one directly: “Well, as much as I know people love Stefan and Rebekah -- and by all means so do we -- her recent actions put a little bit of a hold on any future romantic dalliances between them.” Personally, a bit of a hold is better than an indefinite end.

Claire Holt Confirmed For Originals Spin-Off

Claire Holt who plays The Vampire Diaries' Rebekah Mikaelson has been tapped to join the networks pilot, The Originals.

The Originals centers on Klaus (Joseph Morgan), who returns to the supernatural melting pot that is the French Quarter of New Orleans, a town he helped build centuries ago, and is reunited with his diabolical former protege Marcel (The Game's Charles Michael Davis).

Holt will reprise her role as original vampire Rebekah, Klaus' half sister. In addition to Joseph Morgan and Daniel Gillies' Elijah, Holt joins a cast that includes Phoebe Tonkin, who will reprise her role as werewolf Hayley; Daniella Pineda and Danielle Campbell, who will play witches named Sophie and Davina, respectively; and Sorority Row's Leah Pipes, who will play Camille, a human unaware of the supernatural universe that exists around her.

The planted pilot will air April 25 as an episode of The Vampire Diaries. Showrunner Julie Plec will pen the script for Warner Bros. Television.

Claire Holt Interview

What have you thought about Rebekah's storyline this season?
I feel really lucky as an actor because I get to go a lot of places with Rebekah. I get to explore her vulnerable side, I get to explore the mean girl/catty side of her and there's that inner conflict about whether she wants to be human or a vampire. I just love it all and am so grateful to the writers for giving me so much.

I think you've touched on one of the reasons fans love her so much: Rebekah struggles with being an eternal but having very human desires. Absolutely. That provides a huge amount of inner turmoil for her because she loves parts of being a vampire -- the power, being able to control situations -- but she also wants to be a real girl and to have those experiences of going to a dance and being loved by a boy. She wants those things, and you really see that in tonight's episode when the dance gets cancelled and Stefan finds a charming way to make up for it. What he does really means a lot to her.

What did you think when Julie Plec told you "Stebekah" would be revisited?
Listen, I love working with Paul Wesley. He's such a fine actor and such a fine human, so any time our characters get to interact, I'm happy. I'm always a little scared of the Stelena shippers, but I think it's fun. I always enjoyed the Ripper Stefan and I loved the dynamic they had in the 1920's episode. I think it brings out good things in both Stefan and Rebekah.

It has to be exciting for Rebekah to finally have him come to her since she's wanted this for a long time.
It's definitely exciting for her -- Rebekah loves to get her way, so having Stefan come to her was definitely fun for her. But deep down she knows whatever is going on right now is a mutually beneficial relationship -- they're hooking up, having fun, but they have a common goal. She's been in Mystic Falls for a while, she knows what's going on. We'll see if it really leads anywhere, but I think the fans have liked it.

Sounds like Claire Holt might be a Rebekah/Matt 'shipper at heart...
[laughs] I'm a Rebekah anyone shipper. I'll hook up with anyone in Mystic Falls, because, I don't know if you've seen those guys, but they're pretty gorgeous. Listen, I like the idea of her and Matt -- I think it would have given her a more human experience, but she tried to kill him, so I'm not sure that's going to happen any time soon. I'd like to have someone love her. I think it's important.

A moment ago you referenced the fans -- you've now been a part of TV's two most social shows (TVD and Pretty Little Liars). What's it been like to have such an in-depth relationship with your fans?
It's been amazing. I never had any concept of it before because I worked in Australia and the Twitter world didn't exist. Being on those shows and seeing the online support has been mind-blowing. It's a lot easier for us to feel personal connections with the fans, and vice versa -- plus, it's a lot easier to Tweet than respond to fan mail. I'm so grateful for all the fan support.

Whether or not she decides to take the cure, how important is it to Rebekah to be the one to find it so she has the option whether to take the cute or not?
Very important. It's what is driving her at the moment. She'd convinced herself that she was a vampire and she'd never have the experiences she really wants of love and a family. So to now see this as an option is so important. I don't think Rebekah knows what she wants, but she wants to find it and she won't let anyone get in her way.

What are you excited for fans to see in the coming weeks?
The dynamics between some of the characters is going to change. Especially with Rebekah, there's less of the mean girl dynamic as she shares more of a common goal with the other characters. I'm excited for the episodes where they go in search of the cure because a lot of the actors are together in those scenes -- there's lots of conflict but also a lot of getting along, which I think will be an interesting sight for the fans. As important as it is to have separate storylines, these upcoming episodes have us all on the hunt for the cure, and it's really fun to all be together like that.

You may all be together, but it looks like your and Phoebe Tonkin made it through her guest arc without ever sharing a scene together! What's up with that?
I know! What is up with that? [laughs] I was devastated that we shared no scenes together, but I'm campaigning for us to get something together in the future. It's all about story on the show, so I don't know if Haley and Rebekah will ever cross paths, but I'll keep holding out hope!

Julie Plec On 'Delena' and 'Stebekah'

Compelled by Rebekah to tell the truth about why she slept with Damon, Elena said it wasn’t because of the sire bond — it’s because she loves him. Then Elena phoned Damon and told him it felt real to her, and she said, “I love you.” Does that settle the debate, or does that question still exist?
I think the takeaway, ultimately, is that Elena believes it so fundamentally that in that moment, it’s enough for Damon to let himself believe too. Yes, of course, the question is still gonna exist and always gonna exist. This isn’t necessarily the end-all, be-all now that that word ["love"] has been spoken. The doubt is still gonna be there. And it’s gonna continue to eat at Damon for the next few episodes. Elena’s gonna continue to have to fight for it in how much she believes it. But in this moment, it’s these two people who have been trying so hard to do the right thing and stay away from each other, and after two really long horrible days, they just need to touch base with each other. Just letting himself allow it to be real for one small moment is enough for Damon. And by the way, that song [Snow Patrol's "New York," playing during the phone call], that was the song that we wanted to use during the Damon-Elena kiss in episode 10 last year, and we lost it a week before we were going to air it. So I had that song in my back pocket for a year waiting for the right moment to use it again.


Stefan and Rebekah teaming up is a nice twist.
We’ve seen Stefan self-destruct in many different ways, and they’re usually pretty dark and pretty violent. We thought that an interesting take on his response to losing his girl, to feeling lied to and betrayed, to having his heart shredded, would be to become singularly focused on getting that cure to put an end to all this misery — whether it be for himself and Elena, or maybe he just wants to shove it down Damon’s throat, who knows [Laughs] — and to align with probably the most self-destructive partner. He’s proverbially getting into bed with Elena’s mortal enemy. So we just got excited about the juicy opportunity for that partnership.

Rebekah made a point of saying that Klaus had erased how Stefan felt about her from Stefan’s mind. Are those feelings going to resurface? Is that a new question to add to the mix?
Well, you know, we had this magnificent chemistry that we hit on when we first introduced her character, and then each of their individual stories took them in a different direction, so it’s something that we’ve never been able to revisit. And yet, it did exist, even though Stefan was a much different person. Now I think there’ll be a little bit of a nostalgia attached to a time when they were both in a much different place. I don’t see a world where Stefan wakes up and says, “Ohmygosh, I’ve been with the wrong girl all along.” I don’t think that’s the case at all. In fact, I think he pretty much loathes Rebekah and everything she stands for. But, there are some good memories there that will resurface and give them pause.

Vampire Diaries Bite - 16th January 2013

Spoiler From TV Guide - 15th January 2013

When are they going to actually find the cure on The Vampire Diaries?

Well, before it can be found it must be looked for. Claire Holt, who plays the Original Rebekah, tells us the location of the cure may be where you'd least expect it. "The search is going to take everyone to a little island off of Nova Scotia," she says. Even for vampires Canadian healthcare is better!

Interview with Claire Holt

Rebekah is back! What’s she going to be like now that she’s undaggered?
Rebekah is going to come back with a vengeance! She’s going to be angry and looking to take some people down. I think that every time she’s burned, she gets a little more stone cold and she definitely wants to enact revenge on — in particular — Stefan, Elena, and Caroline, who she questions at the high school in "After School Special". It was a really fun episode to shoot. There’s a lot of torture and manipulation going on — it’s going to be a big episode for sure!

What about Klaus? He’s the one who orchestrated Rebekah’s daggering. Will she be making him a prime target as well?
Rebekah, in this specific episode, is going to focus on retrieving answers from Stefan, Elena and Caroline. She’s going to question them about the hunter tattoo, the cure, and definitely Elena’s relationships — and she really wants to find out what they know about it.

There have been rumors floating around that Rebekah and Stefan might grow closer throughout the season. Does their relationship shift at any point and how so?
I think that’s a spoiler and I can’t really give away too much. [Laughs.] However, I think that the dynamic between them will definitely change – at least after all the torturing. In "After School Special" Rebekah questions Elena and Stefan and this will bring some uncomfortable truths to light.

We love how casual that mention of torture was. Just another day in the life of Rebekah Mikaelson!
[laughs] It’s just what Bex does, right? This time around though, her torturing has more of a psychological twist. She has some fun little ‘Truth or Dare’ games planned for them.

Rebekah recently gave Matt a new truck as a way of saying sorry. Do you think that her sentiments are sincere?
She doesn’t like to be vulnerable so that’s her way of extending the olive branch. All this time, Rebekah has just wanted to be loved and feel loved by someone — and she has feelings for Matt so I think that’s her way of trying to express that. But I personally wouldn’t give someone a truck. [Laughs]

We wouldn’t classify Bex as evil but she’s definitely misunderstood. She just wants to find her place in the world. Will we see a significant change in her growth as a person this Season?
I think so. In her quest for the cure, I think she definitely learns how to relate to people a little better. You’re going to see her grow as a character — especially as she realizes that it’s not all about manipulating or torturing others to get what she wants. It’s not just about being the bad girl anymore so that was a nice change for me to explore.

We’re very excited about The Originals spin-off. Can we expect to find Bex living it up with Klaus in New Orleans at any point?
[laughs] That is probably something that Julie Plec will have to answer for you. You never know what might happen though! However, I think that it is going to be such a great show and any extension of The Vampire Diaries, with its incredible fanbase and a showrunner like Julie. It was exciting for me to see Phoebe Tonkin cast in the show as well. We’ve been best friends since we were 16-years-old and working on H20: Just Add Water in Australia, so that was wonderful news.

Elena, Bonnie, and Caroline recently had a girl’s night. What would an ideal night out for Rebekah and her new BFF April be like?
 [Laughs] I don’t know if Rebekah and April are going to have a chance to hang out in that capacity. She’s not really that good at maintaining friendships. However, if she were to have a fun time, it would involve dancing and a party and maybe some blood drinking. She does put herself on the outs with the girls in Mystic Falls so I’m not sure that’s going to happen.

Poor Rebekah! Will she at least get to live out her simple dream of attending ONE school dance?
She definitely would like to get dressed up and attend a school dance and that is definitely brought up. However, I can’t reveal whether she actually makes it to one or not. You’ll have to watch. [Laughs]

We love seeing tweets and pics from the cast and crew throughout the day. Is there any particular moment in filming Season 4 that was especially fun for everyone? 
We always have a wonderful time but, recently, while embarking on a journey for the vampire cure, we filmed scenes on the island of Nova Scotia. It was a really exciting experience. A lot of the times, the cast is not filming scenes together — so whenever there are a lot of us in one location, there’s always a riot.

You were also on another one of our shows, Pretty Little Liars. What was that experience like compared to working on TVD’s set?
Well, I played completely opposite characters. On Pretty Little Liars I played a lesbian and, on Vampire Diaries, I portray an badass vampire. But you know what? On both shows, the cast, the crew, the writers, and the producers — they all work so hard and are so lovely. I came on later in the Seasons and I never felt like I crashing the party. Everyone was so welcoming and pleasant. I’ve been very blessed. Both series are amazing and, obviously, I’ve stuck around on The Vampire Diaries a little longer and I’m enjoying every minute of it.

You’re always posting amazing pictures from your trips. What’s your favorite personal adventure story from all your recent travels?
I just went to Colorado with my whole family. They came out from Australia for Christmas. I think that’s been my favorite adventure this year. We had no snow so skiing was terrible and we were skiing over rocks and ice…[Laughs]. But still – any time I get together with my family, it’s always a riot.

Have you and Phoebe had any adventures yet in Atlanta?
You know what, we haven’t yet because we haven’t had any scenes together. We’re always filming at different times, but you never know. I’m really hoping that it might happen in 2013. We’ll see.

What’s your favorite attraction in Atlanta that fans should definitely visit if they plan a trip down there?
Hmm…. Oh I know! It has the largest aquarium in the world! I recently went to it about two weeks ago and it was so much fun! They have huge sharks.

We recently spotted you at the 2013 Golden Globes and you look gorgeous! That being said, that Oscars are coming up and we were wondering if you had any top picks for Best Picture?
My favorite is Silver Linings Playbook hands down. It was so incredibly good. And I loved Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence’s performance so I’m rooting for them as well. I know everyone says Lincoln because it’s a true American story and Daniel Day Lewis was incredible in it but Silver Linings Playbook was just amazing so I’m going to go with that!

Spoiler From Zap2It - 17th December 2012

Good morning, Rebekah! Now that she's awake, is there any chance that Rebekah and Klaus could possibly be close again? "I'd like to think so," Joseph Morgan tells us. "Obviously there was a major betrayal there, but I think that if anyone could forgive Klaus, Rebekah has been there with him for a thousand years, they've been very close, and I think she could forgive him. I don't like when she's daggered! Claire Holt just goes back to Los Angeles when Rebekah is daggered, and that's no fun."

Interview with Claire Holt

Klaus didn’t die at the end of season 3. Were you relieved by the writers’ decision to keep Klaus, and Joseph Morgan, around?
Absolutely! He’s one of my dearest friends in real life. I think he’s so talented and we have such great chemistry. I just love working with him. I didn’t think there would be a be a chance they wouldn’t keep him around. He’s just too talented to stick around in that box for too long!

Klaus chose to save Caroline over Rebekah in the season premiere. She’s been essentially disowned by her brother. How is this going to affect their relationship with each other going forward this season?
Rebekah’s always been there for her brother. Going back to that scene in the premiere she tells him “It’s always been me. Not Elijah. Not Kol. Not Finn. Me.” So she felt incredibly betrayed by him and it’s definitely going to impact their relationship throughout the season. She’s so stubborn and as much as she wants to be a family unit, and she loves her brother, she’s also furious at him for betraying her again. I think it creates a really interesting dynamic for the two of them. As much as I love when Klaus and Rebekah are a team it’s also really great to have those scenes where they’re in conflict as well. So I can tell you, it will definitely play a big role this season.

Rebekah is an incredibly strong character, but also fragile in many ways. Is this a fun dichotomy for you as an actor?
It’s so great! Multi-dimensional characters are so fun to play because there are always different aspects to explore. It’s nice to be able to play the tough girl – the badass original vampire – but it’s also great to be able to show her more vulnerable side – which is essentially her human side. I’m very fortunate to have been written a character like that. I think it helps you to become a better actor actually. I love what they do with her. I love that they allow me to explore those avenues with her. No matter how bad a character seems on paper what I always try to do is make them somewhat likable. I try to do that with Rebekah through her more vulnerable moments.

How hard is it going to be for Rebekah to hold her head up and continue on in High School this year? She’s been ostracized by so many people at this point.
She’s going to try to put up a bit of a wall and pretend it doesn’t affect her. She’s going to play that mean girl card. But it’s all an act. Obviously, being ostracized like that is going to be incredibly tough for her. There’s going to be some fun elements to it. She can’t really decide what she wants. One minute she doesn’t care. She wants to be the tough bad girl, and the next she really doesn’t, so there will definitely be that dynamic. I got to do some really fun scenes where that whole aspect is played up. [laughing] It’s great!

Is this all going to change her as a person?
I don’t know. I would like to think so. I hope so. I hope she tries to form some alliances because it’s going to be so lonely for her if she doesn’t. [laughing] I guess it depends on what direction the writers want to take her in. I’m just excited to see where it goes.”

I believe we’re going to get to see your old H20 cast mate Phoebe Tonkin soon.

Yes! Phoebe! My best friend! When I found out she was coming on the show I don’t think I squealed more loudly in my life. Ever. And I was on set. It’s so great.

Have you shared any scenes together yet?
We haven’t. Not yet. I’m hoping for some. We’ll see. I’d love to see them become allies. But it’s all up to Julie Plec.

Episode 4 ‘The Five’ looks like it’s going to be a pretty intense ride. There’s mention of powerful vampire hunters connected with Klaus’ past, and we know that Rebekah will deliver some news that will stun Stefan. What can you share?
It’s huge! What Rebekah reveals is actually really important to the direction and future of the season ahead. And the series too. It’s definitely going to change the way they all operate and think. It’s definitely a game changer … but I can’t reveal more. [laughing] You really will have to watch this one.

You stared in ‘Blue Like Jazz’ earlier this year, which seems just about as far from The Vampire Diaries as it’s possible to get. Was that a deliberate decision on your part?
They’re complete polar opposites. [laughing] Such different characters. One’s a good Christian girl and the other’s an evil vampire who goes around killing people! That’s the great thing about being an actor. I get to play so many different roles. I like to test myself. I think as an actor you have to be able to open yourself to different things. You have to be malleable.  I loved shooting that film. It was a wonderful experience.
